30 Summer TV Shows to Watch in 2018

21. Luke Cage

Marvel’s Luke Cage is also back this summer. In Season 2, Luke Cage has become a celebrity on the streets of Harlem, but that visibility comes with a price, and with a formidable new foe.

Marvel’s Luke Cage returns on June 22nd to Netflix.

22. Preacher

When we first got introduced to Jesse Custer he was a failing minister with two close companions, a female ass-kicker named Tulip and his Irish vamp buddy, Cassidy.

It soon became apparent that Jesse was meant for more in this life when he was overtaken by a supreme being. With the quest to find “God” continuing, where will this band of friends’ road take them next?

Preacher returns June 24th to AMC.

– Mary Misasi

23. GLOW

It’s almost time to get back in the ring with GLOW’s fierce fighters and we could not be more ready. Last we saw them, Liberty Bell and Russian Destroya came together to tear each other apart and salvage the limping GLOW enterprise. On the show’s second season, we hope to see more of the supporting characters’ stories and even more amazing wrestling moves!

GLOW Season 2 will be available Friday, June 29th on Netflix.

24. Sharp Objects

The eight-episode limited series based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Gillian Flynn is heading to HBO in July. Sharp Objects stars Amy Adams as reporter Camille Preaker, who returns to her hometown to cover up the murder of a preteen girl and the disappearance of another.

Sharp Objects premieres July 8th  at 9/8c on HBO.

25. The Outpost

When the executive producers of Stargate and Stargate SG-1 come together to make a 10 episode miniseries surrounding a strong female protagonist, there is plenty to get excited about.

Jessica Green stars as Talon, the last living member of her people. Her new found magic abilities will come in handy, as she hunts down the strangers who slaughtered her family. This show sounds like it could be The 100 meets The Lord of the Rings!

The Outpost premieres July 10th on The CW.

26. Suits

Specter Litt is going to look a bit different as we head into Suits Season 8. Mike and Rachel have said their goodbyes and a new lawyer is joining the firm — Katherine Heigl’s Samantha Wheeler.

Of course, based on the events of the Season 7 finale, that’s not the only change. It’s going to be interesting to see how everything plays out.

Suits Season 8 premieres Wednesday, July 18th at 9/8c on USA.

27. Wynonna Earp

Season 3 of the beloved fantasy western Wynonna Earp returns this summer with Wynonna Earp (Melanie ‘Girl-on-Top’ Scrofano) and her gang of eccentric misfits to face off against revenants, monsters, and the demon who cursed the Earp family.

Not only are our favorites back this year, there are a ton of familiar faces around the Ghost River Triangle including Megan Follows, playing Michelle ‘Mama’ Earp, plus Anna Silk and Zoie Palmer.

Wynonna Earp Season 3 begins Friday, July 20th at 9/8c on SYFY.

28. Killjoys

The third season finale left us on the edge of our seats with a damn good cliffhanger as our killjoys are now scattered across the J galaxy.

Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen) is on a journey, with a unique partner in Aneela, to face The Lady, which has been described as the manifestation of evil. Meanwhile, D’av (Luke Macfarlane) and John (Aaron Ashmore) are trapped in an elevator in deep space with a pregnant Delle Seyah, and we can’t help but want some Jaqobis humor to offset the looming war with The Lady.

Killjoys Season 4 begins Friday, July 20th at 10/9c on SYFY.

29. Castle Rock

It was only a matter of time before Stephen King got the extended universe treatment on the small screen, and Castle Rock is just that.

An anthology series set in the titular town, Castle Rock will be taking many of the themes and plot elements that fans of the series will recognize, although to what extent remains to be seen given we still don’t know much about the series.

Castle Rock will premiere July 25th on Hulu with its first three episodes.

30. Casual

The fourth and final season of Casual will be released on Hulu on July 21st. This year, the whole season will be dropped at once.

Last year’s finale left Alex stunned by Rae’s announcement that she is pregnant, and Val lost with the news that Laura has moved away to live with her grandma. Will these final eight episodes be enough to give these characters the happiness and closure they’ve been seeking?

Casual returns July 21st to Hulu.
