Summer TV Preview: 23 New & Returning Shows
You may need to schedule some indoor time this summer, or at least clear out some space on your DVR. The coming months will see the returns of critical favorites such as Mr. Robot, You're the Worst, Orange Is the New Black, UnReal, and Difficult People, as well as the debuts of new series from Maria Bamford, Robert Kirkman, Baz Luhrmann, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and Cameron Crowe. Other newcomers include what could be HBO's best new drama in years, the most popular show in Italian TV history, and a remake of TV's most-watched miniseries.
We've picked out 23 key summer programs below. For information on other upcoming TV debuts, visit our TV Premiere Calendar.
Fan of the show "Weird Al" Yankovic takes over (from Kid Cudi, and, before him, Reggie Watts) as bandleader (and as #2 on the call sheet) for the fifth season of Scott Aukerman's surreal talk show. Upcoming guests include Tony Hale, Kevin Bacon, Aubrey Plaza, Kristen Schaal, Tegan and Sara, and Nathan Fielder (while CBB veterans like Ben Schwartz, Matt Besser, Lauren Lapkus, Horatio Sanz, and Paul Rust will also appear). IFC will burn through the first half of the 20-episode season with two episodes per week, while the final 10 eps will air this fall.
