21 TV Shows to Watch This Summer
The coming summer, arguably, may not have the sheer volume of high profile shows that we have become accustomed to in recent years. But that certainly doesn't mean there won't be anything to watch. In fact, the highlights—led by the returns of Twin Peaks and Game of Thrones—include some of this year's most-anticipated shows regardless of season.
Below you can find details on the most notable TV debuts this summer (both new and returning shows), ordered by date. For more premiere dates and details on every upcoming show (including those not profiled here), visit our 2017 TV Premiere Calendar.
The second Amazon series from Transparent creator Jill Soloway is an adaptation of Chris Kraus's experimental, genre-blending, and heretofore considered unadaptable 1997 novel/memoir praised for its intelligent and intimate exploration of male/female relationships.
Filmed on location in Marfa, Texas (a setting that represents just one of many changes made from the source material), the series stars Kathryn Hahn, Kevin Bacon, and Griffin Dunne. Critics liked the pilot when it debuted last year (watch it here), and had major praise for Hahn's "brilliant" performance.
