That’s all changing now that summer dramas like [_Orange Is the New Black_](http://time.com/4209366/netflix-orange-new-black-renewed/), [_Mr. Robot_](http://time.com/4000137/mr-robot-finale-true-detective/) and [_UnREAL_ ](http://time.com/3982291/unreal-and-the-evolution-of-the-female-anti-hero/)are earning critical acclaim and prestigious awards. And this summer, a particularly prestigious crop of filmmakers are leaping from silver screen to the small screen. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, , Cameron Crowe and Steven Zaillian are all premiering new shows. Here are the most-anticipated new television series to sustain you between trips to the beach. ### _Preacher_  Lewis Jacobs—AMC **Premieries May 22 on AMC** This isn’t your usual [superhero show](http://www.amc.com/shows/preacher).
