Summer TV Preview 2025: Inside Must-Watch New and Returning Shows From ‘The Bear' to ‘Love Island USA'
Sure, everyone likes to get outside in the summer. But the great outdoors won't seem so great once you realize what's waiting for you on the small screen this season. For starters, you'll get answers to some big cliffhangers, like: What exactly did that restaurant review say on Hulu's fan favorite The Bear — and is the end of the line for Carmy's restaurant? And then there's Netflix's ultra-bingeable Squid Game, where Player 456 in the deadly cash-grab just saw his best friend executed as they tried to storm those off-limits areas and stop the game once and for all. Whether Wednesday Addams would return to Nevermore Academy wasn't exactly a cliffhanger, but questions were definitely raised at the end of the Jenna Ortega series' smash first season: Who was her stalker? What secrets are still 'lurking in the dark corners of Jericho,' as Wednesday mused in the finale? The Netflix horror show ups the stakes in round two: 'The ambition of the show is limitless,' co-showrunner and executive producer Miles Millar has said. 'We let our imaginations fly.' Among new shows, we'll see a new take on the thoroughly creepy Alien franchise, highly anticipated book adaptations like We Were Liars and The Rainmaker, and newly minted reality shows about A-listers in the worlds of music, podcasting, fashion and more.
