While late spring is usually reserved for season finales—and, therefore, must-see-TV Emmy ploys—that doesn’t mean there isn’t something new to watch in May and June.

In addition to the second season of Netflix’s Luke Cage (how chivalrous to let Jessica Jones return first) and a revamping of the motorcycle-obsessed American Chopper on Discovery, these months also bring us new shows like Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger on Freeform and Condor, the new Audience Network spy thriller that stars Max Irons, Brendan Fraser and Mira Sorvino.

We’ll be updating this list as more premiere dates are announced. But hey, if you don’t see something you’d like to watch here, you can probably find it on our list of March and April premieres.
