With The Voice and American Idol off until the fall, and The Masked Singer taking an extra-long break until winter, America's Got Talent should fill the hole for any talent show obsessive. The NBC reality series is celebrating its milestone twentieth season with the return of Mel B, who replaces Heidi Klum on the judges panel. The former Spice Girl, alongside usual panel Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vegara, as well as host Terry Crews, will try to find the most talented acts around the world. Between the immense skill on stage and the heartwarming stories, you won't be pressing your red "X" button anytime soon!

It's been almost two years since we've last seen Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte on our screens. But the delay can be forgiven for the HBO Max series, considering we had to wait over a decade for the Sex and the City ladies to appear back on our screens in the sequel series. And our favorite Manhattanites won't be alone, as they'll be joined by Rosie O'Donnell for Season 3. With And Just Like That back on our screens, I couldn't help but wonder: Do I need to even go outside this summer?

For six years, various networks have tried to capture the popularity of the British reality series Love Island in its American counterpart. And last year, it seemed to finally catch fire, as Season 6 of the dating show took the internet by storm. So, how will the Ariana Madix-led Peacock series one-up the rootable romances, shocking betrayals and Powerpuff Girls of 2024? We'll have to see what the Villa will provide this year.

Ginny & Georgia Season 3 (Netflix): June 5
(L to R) Brianne Howey as Georgia Miller, Scott Porter as Paul, Antonia Gentry as Ginny Miller, Diesel La Torraca as Austin MillerNetflix's version of Gilmore Girls for the modern age became one of the streamer's biggest hits when it arrived in 2021. Season 2 currently resides in the all-time top 10 English language shows, and was featured in the Nielsen top 10 for eight weeks straight before leaving us on that torturous cliffhanger of Georgia's (Brianne Howey) arrest. No matter what's to come with her, daughter Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and son Austin (Diesel La Torraca), there's sure to be plenty of teenage drama, revealing flashbacks and perhaps another murder or two on the menu.

The Gilded Age Season 3 (HBO): June 22
Cynthia Nixon (L) and Christine Baranski (R)TV audiences were captivated this year by Carrie Coon's performance in the ensemble of The White Lotus. And they don't have to touch that dial for more of the actress, as she'll be returning in the HBO historical drama towards the end of June. She won't be alone, flanked by some of the best of Broadway and Hollywood, including Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon and Deneé Benton, all dressed to the nines in their best late 1800s garb. While the Gilded Age itself hit its end at the conclusion of the decade, we hope we'll get plenty of period drama for years to come!

The Bear Season 4 (Hulu): June 25

Whether TV viewers feel it's a comedy or not, one thing they all agree on is that they can't get enough of The Bear. Indeed, it's almost impossible to describe the Hulu series, which is a perfect recipe of anxiety-filled tension, intense dramatics and laugh-out-loud hysterics. Little is known about the upcoming Season 4, though we imagine things will pick up for the staff of the titular restaurant soon after the release of their highly-anticipated review from The Chicago Tribune. And whatever drama that review may produce, as long as Emmy winners Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are onboard, we're ready to absolutely devour all 10 episodes when they drop.

Squid Game Season 3 (Netflix): June 27
'Squid Game' Season 2No Ju-han/Netflix
I don't think many would have predicted the hottest show of 2021 would be a Korean dystopian thriller that places 456 people in a series of death games. But that's just one of the many surprises Squid Game has offered. After a long-awaited Season 2 arrived the day after Christmas in 2024, we fortunately won't have to undergo a lengthy hiatus again, as Season 3 drops on Netflix only six months later. Unfortunately, it will be the final installment of the series, as we will promptly bid adieu to the childhood games that houses some of the darkest and most heartbreaking moments in recent TV memory. And, given how much the machine of Squid Game is oiled with the blood of all of its dead contestants, things aren't looking good for Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and company to make it off the island alive.

Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 (Hulu): July 2

Initially conceived as a miniseries, Nine Perfect Strangers' debut season in 2021 had Nicole Kidman playing the mysterious and dangerous owner of the Tranquillum House wellness resort. But in a twist befitting of the Hulu drama, it was revealed in 2023 that the show would be renewed and develop into an anthology series. And so the Oscar winner is back to lead a new group of strangers, including Christine Baranski, Annie Murphy and Murray Bartlett, to finding enlightenment through therapy, sharing secrets and, of course, just a bit of psychotropic drugs.

Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 (ABC): July 7

The once-solid Bachelor monolith is now more shaky than ever, with showrunners being dismissed and talks about possibly sunsetting various iterations of the ABC romance franchise. Luckily, just when we needed it most, Bachelor in Paradise returns. After taking a year off, the spin-off is back, throwing together a variety of alumni from the various shows in the franchise to see if they're able to find love where they couldn't before. And, for the first time, contestants from The Golden Bachelor are entering paradise, looking to prove that, when it comes to finding the one, age is just a number.

While Big Brother's motto is "expect the unexpected," there's plenty fans can expect from this year's edition of the hit CBS summer reality series. We can expect plenty of backstabbing and showmancing from the newest group of houseguests to step foot inside the house. There are sure to be plenty of twists and turns to keep the players on their toes as they navigate the three-month-long game. And, we'll be getting what has been teased as the most "super-sized" season of the show yet, with 90-minute episodes airing every Wednesday, as well as a new biweekly alumni panel show on Fridays, with "all-star" houseguests weighing in on everything going on inside the house.

When Dexter came to a conclusion in 2013 with one of the worst endings in television history, fans were ready to consider the franchise (literally) dead. But, over the past five years, Michael C. Hall's iconic serial killer found an afterlife, between the sequel New Blood and the prequel Original Sin. The newest show comes in the form of Dexter: Resurrection, which has Dexter somehow recovering from his surely-fatal gunshot wound from his previous series, heading to New York City in pursuit of his son alongside new cast members Uma Thurman, Peter Dinklage and Neil Patrick Harris.

Project Runway Season 21 (Freeform): July 31

They say in fashion that one day you're in, and the next, you're out. And the host and judges of Project Runway have seemed to circulate as much as trends over the past few seasons of the reality series, following the departure of Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn. Season 21 will undergo many changes, as the series will once again change networks to Freeform and focus on the "new generation" of designers. But all that new will be anchored by a familiar face, as Klum is saying, "Guten tag" to Project Runway once more, joining mentor Christian Siriano and judges Nina Garcia and Law Roach.
Wednesday Season 2, Part 1 (Netflix): Aug. 6

The incredibly macabre Wednesday had audiences beaming when it debuted on Netflix in 2022. The Addams Family adaptation went viral, earning both Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for both the series and its lead actress, Jenna Ortega. The highly anticipated comedy will be back for its second season, as we see what tragedies and mysteries follow Wednesday after her departure from Nevermore Academy. Unfortunately, Season 2 will be stretched across two batches, with half of the eight episodes airing in August and October. But that's just the type of torture that's befitting of Wednesday Addams herself.

Outlander fans are awaiting new episodes with bated, but bittersweet, breath, considering that the hit romance series will be coming to an end with its upcoming eighth season. Luckily, until that day arrives, Starz is taking us even further back into the past with the upcoming Blood of My Blood. Once again based on Diana Gabaldon's writing, the series is equal parts Outlander and How I Met Your Mother, as we live out the love stories for both Jamie Fraser and Claire Beauchamp's parents.

Peacemaker Season 2 (HBO Max): Aug. 21

A lot has changed since Peacemaker last hit our screens. Since 2022, series creator James Gunn has gone on to become the creative visionary behind DC movies and television, completely rebooting the universe in the process. John Cena's titular superhero is the lone holdover between cinematic universes, in a season that will hopefully leave us flying as high as an eagle. But there's a major threat to ground things this season in Frank Grillo, who plays the father of the late Rick Flagg, who Peacemaker killed in The Suicide Squad.
