Remember the days when the summer television schedule was dominated by reruns, lowbrow reality programs, and even more reruns? Today’s summer television landscape is both exciting and diverse, and it’s already giving the fall–spring lineup a serious run for its money. Below, we’ve outlined highlights from the summer slate, as well as a list of when all shows will be returning — we’ll continue to update this post in the coming weeks as more programming information becomes available.

Game of Thrones, April 24, HBO

What else can we possibly say about the sixth season of Game of Thrones that hasn’t already been extensively written about? (Two words: Jon Snow.) In the event you need a refresher, though, we’ve created an essential guide for all of the characters, betrayals, alliances, schemes, and more.

Veep, April 24, HBO

Season five of the political satire picks up the morning after the highly dramatic presidential election, which ended in a tie between current president Selina Meyer (the delightfully foul-mouthed Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and her senator opponent. Look forward to VP candidate Tom James (Hugh Laurie) causing a bit of trouble, as well as John Slattery in a recurring role. Remember: continuity with change!

Preacher, May 22, AMC

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg helped adapt this cult comic-book series for television; it depicts a ruthless small-town Texas priest (Dominic Cooper) who, after being inhabited by an unknown entity that gives him supernatural powers, begins his quest to literally find God. His badass ex-girlfriend and an Irish vampire accompany him on what should be one hell of a spiritual journey.

Feed the Beast, June 5, AMC

Fresh from the success of The People v. O.J. Simpson, David Schwimmer is fronting this new crime drama, which follows two best friends who take one last shot at opening a restaurant together in the Bronx. Oh, and they also may have connections to the mob, which could prove difficult while trying to establish themselves in the culinary world. Jim Sturgess also stars.

UnREAL, June 6, Lifetime

The first season of UnREAL proved to be a critical and ratings success, with its brutally honest portrayal of the behind-the-scenes world of a reality dating show. The new season will feature a black bachelor (something the real Bachelor has never done) named Darius, who comes to the mansion to rehab his image after a tumultuous life as a quarterback. Drama and bitchiness will ensue, naturally.

Orange Is the New Black, June 17, Netflix

Welcome back to Litchfield! This season has everything — new bunk beds, a major corporate takeover, a still-alive Alex, and even a Martha Stewart-esque figure.

Greenleaf, June 21, OWN

As if we needed another reason to have more Oprah in our lives. Greenleaf — which Oprah executive produces and co-stars in — chronicles the scandalous and wealthy Greenleaf family, who run a megachurch in Memphis, and the countless secrets and lies that surround them.

Mr. Robot, July 13, USA

Mr. Robot received widespread acclaim when it made its network debut last summer, and it’s easy to see its gritty appeal. Elliot (Rami Malek), a security engineer and secret cyber-vigilante hacker gets recruited by a mysterious anarchist named Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) to join a group of underground “hacktivists.” The second season deals with the aftermath of the group’s hack on E Corp — the FBI are called in to investigate, of course.

Vice Principals, July 17, HBO

Danny McBride and Walton Goggins star as two rival vice principals — one for discipline, the other for curriculum — at a local high school, who are simultaneously vying for the coveted principal spot. From pushing over grandmas and fistfighting in the teacher’s lounge, they’re being really mature about it.

The Get Down, August 12, Netflix

From the mind of Baz Luhrmann comes the musical-drama series The Get Down, which follows a rag-tag group of South Bronx youngsters in 1970s New York as they become immersed in the downtown music scene. The birth of hip-hop has never looked so vivacious and funky, especially through the eyes of our youthful protagonists. (We’re already anticipating the soundtrack.)
