August is one of those months you just have to slog through. The best cure for the oppressive heat? Some cool treats — any excuse for ice cream, right? — and some brand spanking new TV series for you to gush about.

Love a mystery? Check out USA’s new limited series, The Sinner, starring Jessica Biel. Do you love all-star casts in ridiculous situations? It could be worth checking into TBS’ The Guest Book. If reality TV for the romantically inclined is more your jam, the Million Dollar Matchmaker and Bachelor in Paradise are both back.

Check out the complete list of premieres in August below.
