Summer TV Guide: Shows, Miniseries, and TV Movies to Watch

• When it premiered: Friday, June 6, at 12 a.m. on Netflix
• Why we're excited: It's virtually impossible to stop watching Netflix's hit show Orange Is the New Black once you've started. Now that we know it's been renewed for a third season, there's no reason not to get attached to Piper, Red, Taystee, and all the kooky characters.

• When it premiered: Tuesday, June 10, at 8 p.m. on ABC Family
• Why we're excited: Who is "A"? The plot has thickened in the four seasons that Pretty Little Liars has been on, and we're looking forward to uncovering the mystery further — hopefully with some more murder and intrigue thrown in there.

• When it premiered: Sunday, June 11, at 7 p.m. on ABC
• Why we're excited: People running across giant red ballon balls and getting smacked on their way down — why wouldn't you want to watch that?

• When it premiered: Sunday, June 22, at 9 p.m. on HBO
• Why we're excited: It's the final season! True Blood will be no more after this Summer, which means you have to tune in to see all the inevitable bloodshed, romance, and general ridiculousness.

• When it premiered: Sunday, June 29, at 10 p.m. on HBO
• Why we're excited: Justin Theroux is starring in the cable adaptation of Tom Perrotta's novel about a Rapture-like event's effect on a small town. We kind of love all of Theroux's characters, and the book was so good that this might just be our new favorite mystery series. Take a look at the chilling trailer.

• When it premieres: Monday, June 30, at 10 p.m. on CBS
• Why we're excited: This show captured everyone's attention last year, and we're hoping the second season can sustain the momentum of the first. Supposedly, the upcoming episodes will deviate from Stephen King's book, which could be a blessing or a curse.

• When it premieres: Wednesday, July 9, at 9 p.m. on CBS
• Why we're excited: If the sci-fi script was enough to lure Halle Berry to the small screen, then we're curious enough to give it a shot. Berry stars as an astronaut who returns home after a year in space, only to discover that things are getting weird.

• When it premieres: Thursday, July 10, at 9 p.m. on NBC
• Why we're excited: Greg Poehler (Amy's brother!) stars as a New Yorker who moves to Sweden for his girlfriend. It's based on Poehler's real experiences moving to Sweden, and after a run on Swedish TV, it's gotten positive reviews.

• When it premieres: Friday, July 11, at 12 a.m. on Netflix
• Why we're excited: Eli Roth's series is refreshingly gruesome (never thought we'd use that phrase), and the second season is likely to be even grittier than the first.

• When it premieres: Sunday, July 13, at 9 p.m. on Showtime
• Why we're excited: Liev Schreiber will return as a cutthroat "fixer" from an LA law firm. The show broke ratings records during its first season, and we can't wait to catch up with Ray!

• When it premieres: Sunday, July 13, at 10 p.m. on Showtime
• Why we're excited: Lizzy Caplan and Michael Sheen will be back for a second season, and we love them together. It's our favorite historical show that we can't watch with our parents or children.

• When it premieres: Thursday, July 17, at 9 p.m. on VH1
• Why we're excited: Naked . . . dating.
