Summer TV Preview: 21 New Shows to Get Excited About

Summer TV used to be rerun city, but this summer you may need to rearrange some vacation plans to fit all the new shows into your schedule.

Both ABC and TNT will go back in time with new Shakespeare-themed period dramas, including Still Star-Crossed from Shondaland and Will, the fictional story of the famous playwright’s roaring 20s in London. Meanwhile, USA premieres eight-episode thriller The Sinner featuring Jessica Biel’s return to the small screen. Your Netflix queue will be full with new binge-worthy offerings like the ladies’ wrestling dramedy GLOW, Marvel’s The Defenders, Gypsy starring Naomi Watts, and the Keegan-Michael Key/Cobie Smulders comedy, Friends From College. And just when you’re missing Dancing With the Stars, J.Lo, Derek Hough, and Ne-Yo will swoop in with NBC’s supersized answer to TV dance competitions, World of Dance, which comes with an unheard-of $1 million prize.
