Your guide to all the summer 2020 TV premiere dates
Summer is here, and the time is right for staying home and watching television.
As temperatures rise and we're all still stuck at home, we're craving new television more than ever. Luckily, summer 2020 has plenty of new content headed our way from brand-new series to the return of old favorites.
Though Hollywood production has been halted since March, new shows are still making their way to TV. There's the highly anticipated HBO reboot of Perry Mason starring Matthew Rhys, the return of Yellowstone with Kevin Costner, as well as the return of Ryan Murphy's The Politician, Jordan Peele's The Twilight Zone, and Lena Waithe's The Chi. There's also the launch of new streaming services to look forward to — HBO Max just dropped on May 27, while NBC Universal's Peacock is slated for later this summer. Beyond series, there's also special events, like the release of Hamilton on Disney+.
Whether you're counting the days to a certain show or just want to browse what lies ahead, we've got a guide to all of the summer television premiere dates. Scroll down to see what's hitting your TV from June through August.
