Sure, summer is warm. But you can’t spend _all_ your time outside. And what is a person to do with all that spare time in a [summer without _Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/5088555/game-of-thrones-season-8-premiere-date-2/)?

Luckily, there’s plenty of new summer TV shows to watch. The excellent spy series [_Killing Eve_](http://time.com/5228977/killing-eve-isnt-your-average-mystery-series/) is currently airing on BBC America, and HBO’s [_Westworld_](http://time.com/5237447/westworld-is-finally-back-and-its-women-are-ready-to-take-over/) continues to offer [plenty of twists in its second season](http://time.com/5247082/westworld-season-2-reunion-recap/). Ryan Murphy (_American Horror Story_, _The People v. OJ Simpson_) is bringing yet another new summer TV show to FX, and another adaptation of a novel by _Gone Girl_ author Gillian Flynn, with Amy Adams as the star, will air.

Laura Dern returns to HBO with a new movie following her Emmy-winning role in _Big Little Lies_, and Michael B. Jordan will try to top his lauded _Black Panther_ performance with a turn in _Fahrenheit 451_. Oh, and of course you must set your alarm early to tune into the royal wedding in May.

We’ve picked out the new summer TV shows we’re most excited to watch. For the completists, we’ve also included a longer list of returning TV series that are also worth your attention. Happy watching.

The top picks for new summer TV shows:

## The Royal Wedding (May 19)

![Announcement Of Prince Harry's Engagement To Meghan Markle](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6e2b9a34c03e134d/69892dddfb4eac526e8965d2/meghan-markle-prince-harry-citizenship-us-uk-visa.jpg?branch=production&width=3840&quality=75&auto=webp)

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend an official photocall to announce their engagement at The Sunken Gardens, Kensington Palace on November 27, 2017 in London, England. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been a couple officially since November 2016 and are due to marry in Spring 2018. Max Mumby - Indigo/Getty Images

This will be the biggest television event of the summer. The [royal wedding begins at 12 p.m. BST on May 19](http://time.com/5261498/royal-wedding-time/) in London, so Americans will have to set their alarms for the wee hours of the morning. In preparation for the nuptials, you can [tune in to both the Fox documentary _Meghan Markle: An American Princess_](http://time.com/5248293/meghan-markle-prince-harry-royal-wedding-tv-specials/) (May 11) and a [Lifetime movie](https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/05/entertainment/lifetime-harry-meghan-a-royal-romance/index.html) about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry (May 13).

## _Fahrenheit 451_ (HBO, May 19)

As if royal wedding day weren’t exciting enough, HBO’s hotly anticipated adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s dystopia _Fahrenheit 451_ premieres that same day. Michael B. Jordan, fresh off _Black Panther_, stars as Montag, a young “fireman” employed by the government to burn books. Montag begins to doubt his mission and comes into conflict with his mentor Beatty (Michael Shannon).

## _Pose_ (FX, June 3)


Ryan Murphy’s next big project is a musical set in 1980s New York City. The story juxtaposes the luxury of the Trump universe uptown with the art scene and ball culture downtown. The buzzy show will also make history with the [largest cast of trans actors on TV to date](http://deadline.com/2017/10/pose-ryan-murphy-transgender-cast-fx-series-1202194718/), including Hailie Sahar, Indya Moore, Dominique Jackson, Angelica Ross and M.J. Rodriguez. James Van Der Beek and Kate Mara also star.

## _Sharp Objects_ (HBO, July)

!['Nocturnal Animals' - Headline Gala - 60th BFI London Film Festival](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0f0784bd6740e59b/6988f4ca7cdbac05d1d5b3dd/gettyimages-614673396.jpg?branch=production&width=3840&quality=75&auto=webp)

HBO is hoping the thriller _Sharp Objects_ will be the next _Big Little Lies._ Amy Adams stars as a reporter with mental health issues trying to solve a murder in her hometown under the watchful eye of her critical mother (Patricia Clarkson). TV legend Marti Noxon adapted the script from Gillian Flynn’s novel. The cable network has even brought _Big Little Lies’_ Jean-Marc Vallée on to direct.


## _Making It_ (NBC, July 31)

It’s the _Parks and Recreation_ reunion you’ve been waiting for — sort of. Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman co-host a new crafting competition series. Yes, you read that correctly. _Making It_ has the potential to become the next _The Great British Bake Off_: a reality series that actually calms your anxieties at the end of the day.

## The Full List

### _Dear White People_ (Netflix, May 4)


A new teaser for _Dear White People_ offers up an impressive syllabus of topics the show plans to side-eye in its sophomore season. Samantha White (Logan Browning) will continue to take on race, gender and a host of other issues in her campus radio show. The [talented Lena Waithe](http://time.com/collection-post/5238194/lena-waithe/) also joins the cast as an MC starring on a faux reality show.

### _Sweetbitter_ (Starz, May 6)

Stephanie Danler has adapted her semi-autobiographical, bestselling novel _Sweetbitter_ into a new summer TV show about a small-town girl who stumbles into a job waiting tables at one of Manhattan’s most celebrated restaurants. There she learns about food and wine — as well as the raucous, drug-fueled life chefs, bartenders and waitstaff lead after closing hours.


### _Vida_ (Starz, May 6)

Two sisters return home to Los Angeles after their mother passes away— only to find out that their mother secretly married a woman. The ambitious show featuring an entirely Latinx cast tackles issues of identity, culture and sexuality.

### _Safe_ (May 10)

Netflix is releasing so many movies and new TV shows this year, so it’s hard to sort out what is worth prioritizing in your queue. This new mystery series starring Michael C. Hall as a widowed dad whose daughter goes missing inside their gated community looks promising. Mysteries always make for great bingeing: You won’t have to wait to find out whodunnit.


### _Patrick Melrose_ (Showtime, May 12)

Benedict Cumberbatch returns to TV as another addict — though Patrick Melrose isn’t quite as high functioning as Sherlock. The five-episode mini-series based on Edward St. Aubyn’s five _Patrick Melrose_ novels also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh, Blythe Danner, Hugo Weaving and Allison Williams.

### _Little Women_ (PBS, May 13)


Louisa May Alcott’s classic _Little_ _Women_ is getting yet another adaptation. This time, _Call the Midwife_ creator Heidi Thomas will helm the _Masterpiece_ mini-series about four sisters navigating love, loss and what society expects of them during the Civil War. Angela Lansbury stars.

### _Cargo_ (Netflix, May 18)

Zombie triller _Cargo_ will drop on Netflix after its Tribeca Film Festival premiere. The post-apocalyptic film stars Martin Freeman as a doomed dad looking for a safe haven for his baby daughter. The movie seems more philosophical than the action-packed _Walking Dead_ or _World War Z_ — perhaps closer in style and plot to _The Road_ or _Last of Us_.


### _The Tale_ (HBO, May 26)

You may have to wait another year to see _Big Little Lies_ _2_, but HBO has more Laura Dern for you in the meantime. _The Tale_, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, tells the story of a woman who re-evaluates her first sexual relationship after reading a story she wrote when she was 13\. The story of abuse feels all too prescient in the #MeToo era.

## _Picnic at Hanging Rock_ (Amazon, May 25)


he mini-series, based on the Australian novel of the same name, three school girls that go missing on Valentine’s Day in the year 1900\. _Game of Thrones’_ Natalie Dormer plays the school mistress trying to figure out what happened to her students. The mystery unfolds on a gothic backdrop, perfect for lovers of both procedurals and period pieces.

### _The Break With Michelle Wolf_ (Netflix, May 27)

![Late Night with Seth Meyers - Season 3](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7c33f2306ffe5e0c/69892e1f22fb850637e25636/gettyimages-521245342.jpg?branch=production&width=3840&quality=75&auto=webp)

Now she has snagged her own talk show on Netflix. “You can expect the types of jokes my former bosses would tell me we couldn’t do on TV,” [she said](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/daily-shows-michelle-wolf-lands-her-own-netflix-late-night-show-1083705) when Netflix announced the show.

The fallout of the titular affair continues to plague the two couples in this dreary relationship drama (Dominic West, Ruth Wilson, Maura Tierney and Joshua Jackson). Sanaa Lathan — [recently of Beyoncé conspiracy theory fame](http://people.com/movies/sanaa-lathan-denies-she-bit-beyonce-report-claims-she-did/) — joins the cast for the show’s fourth season.

### _Yellowstone_ (Paramount Network, June 20)

### _Luke Cage_ (Netflix, June 22)


Mike Colter still packs a punch as the hero of Harlem in the second season of _Luke Cage_. This year, Iron Fist will assist Luke in protecting New York, as will Misty Knight — who now has a bionic arm.

Preacher and Outcast lift faith and fear from comics AMC


Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s irreverent superhero series about a small-town preacher-slash-criminal (Dominic Cooper) with the power to make people do whatever he says returns for a third season. This year, Jesse returns to his childhood home to settle old grudges.

### _GLOW_ (Netflix, June 29)

Hang on to your leg warmers. The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling are busting their way into a second season. The satire series about 80s showbiz, sports and feminism will offer even more glitz with Alison Brie returning as the show’s lead.

### _Heathers_ (Paramount, July 10)

HEATHERS is a new pitch-black comedy series based on the movie of the same name which premieres on Paramount Network starting Wednesday, March 7 at 10 PM, ET/PT. Paramount


Paramount [decided to delay](http://ew.com/tv/2018/03/01/heathers-tv-show-delay-gun-violence-ew-critic-essay/) the television show spinoff of the cult hit Winona Ryder film after the Parkland shooting. (Fans of the movie will recall that a certain high school character turns murderous.) The show differs greatly from its source material, and has rethought the characters for a modern era in the hopes of tackling modern social issues like gender, sexuality and identity.

### _Jack Ryan_ (Amazon, August 31)

John Krasinski has come a long way from Scranton. After scoring a box office hit with his new film _A Quiet Place_, Krasinski will take a turn as action hero in the role of CIA agent Jack Ryan. Krasinski will have to put his own spin on the character that Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine have all played before him.

Maniac Netflix
