The 22 most exciting TV shows this summer you need to see
USA
Yes, there isn't a moment to breathe between the ending of the spring television season and the beginning of the summer one. Welcome to year-round programming!
Summer used to be a time when fans could catch up on shows they missed via reruns, but we have streaming-TV services for that.
It also used to be a time when networks aired shows that wouldn't have a chance during the proper fall/spring schedules, but now summer shows like USA's "Mr. Robot" are getting Emmys.
From the premiere of "BrainDead" to the return of "Wayward Pines," these are the coolest picks for those hot months.
Here are the 22 new and returning summer shows we're most excited about:
"Chelsea" (Netflix), streams new episodes on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays
"Chelsea"/Netflix
Netflix has said that these 30-minute episodes will mirror the documentary series Chelsea Handler did last year. We loved those documentaries and Handler always surprises us with her hilarious, pointed takes on the world.
"Preacher" (AMC), premieres Sunday, May 22 at 10 p.m.
AMC
From executive producers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin, "Preacher" sounds like a hell of a good time. It's creating word of mouth with positive early reviews. Going from serious to campy at any moment, the show follows a deeply troubled preacher who finds himself taken over by something really powerful and ends up surrounded by some truly heavenly, hellish, and everywhere-in-between characters.
"Wayward Pines" season 2 (Fox), premieres Wednesday, May 25 at 9 p.m.

M. Night Shyamalan has burned us enough with his movies, so we prepared ourselves for ultimate annoyance with "Wayward Pines" during its first season. To our surprise, the series was a fun ride through a social experiment that didn't make you feel ridiculous for watching. We're absolutely looking forward to its continuation, this time with Jason Patric in the lead role.
