Summer Preview

A guide to new & returning series that will hit your screens now through the end of August

Remember when summertime was when TV took a holiday, serving up nothing but a tsunami of reruns and the occasional failed pilot? No longer; the summer TV season now offers a bonanza of new programming, replete with highly anticipated new dramas, comedies, reality shows and more. Take a gander at what’s coming up during the next few months, and who knows — you might discover a new favourite or two.

Alice & Steve

This six-episode “wrong com” from Sex Education writer Sophie Goodhart follows Alice (Nicola Walker, Unforgotten), who is stunned when her best friend Steve (Flight of the ConchordsJemaine Clement) starts dating her 26-year-old daughter Izzy (Yali Topol Margalith). Fearing she’ll lose her best friend and her daughter in one fell swoop, Alice tries everything she can to put the kibosh on the relationship. Steve, however, has been expecting her to do just that, and is more than ready for her attack. As the two face off, their friendship devolves into an all-out feud. The result is an “anti-romantic comedy” that is “a hilarious, messy and complicated exploration of friendship, love, and revenge,” per Hulu.

“What’s remarkable about the series is that you start by assuming that you could never side with Steve or Izzy,” Walker tells Variety. “But then you swap allegiances. These people are falling in love, they are sort of perfect for each other, and then Alice becomes the problem. They all end up really, really hurting each other, which seems very much like real life to me.” Adds Goodhart: “I love comedy that makes you squirm a little. It’s definitely my sweet spot. My dream would be for people to come away from the show being less judgmental.”

Elle

Reese Witherspoon is behind the camera as producer of this prequel focused on her most beloved screen character, Legally Blonde’s Elle Woods. The series focuses on the character as a teenager (played by Lexi Minetree) as she starts over in the Pacific Northwest when her dad (Tom Everett Scott) takes a new job that requires them to move from sunny Bel Air to drizzly Seattle. Elle, per the logline, takes viewers back to “before she was a fish-out-of-water at Harvard. We meet her in 1995 as a fish in the tumultuous waters of high school where she encounters tricky friendships, forbidden romance and questionable fashion choices. Through it all, Elle uses her family as a touchstone, and forms an even tighter bond to her mother (June Diane Raphael), proving that they can get through anything life throws their way as long as they have each other.”

According to Lauren Neustadter, Witherspoon’s producing partner at production company Hello Sunshine, Witherspoon felt that Elle’s positive, can-do attitude had been missing in the current media landscape. “She said, ‘I just feel like the world needs Elle Woods,’ ” Neustadter says in an interview with, fittingly, Elle magazine. In this story, Elle’s mom plays a major role in the proceedings. “One of the things we were intentional about was creating a rich character in Eva, Elle’s mother, that [serves as] a love letter to those of us who saw Legally Blonde in theatres and are now at a different moment in our lives: We are connecting to Elle, but we’re also really connecting to Eva,” Neustadter adds. Meanwhile, fans can expect to see another fan-favourite character from Legally Blonde: Bruiser Woods, Elle’s beloved chihuahua, who enters the fray as a newly adopted puppy.

The third film in the series finds the titular Miss Holmes (Stranger ThingsMillie Bobby Brown) cracking a new case, once again with the help of older brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill). “Adventure chases detective Enola Holmes to Malta, where personal and professional dreams collide in a case more tangled and treacherous than any she has faced before,” reads the synopsis for this new film, which also stars Louis Partridge, Himesh Patel, Helena Bonham Carter and Sharon Duncan-Brewster.

Speaking with Tudum, Brown says that in the third film, Enola “feels much more defined but still evolving. She’s built something for herself, which is amazing, but she’s also questioning what she wants next. I think that’s something so many people can relate to. There’s this pressure of, ‘OK, I’ve achieved this . . . but who am I now?’ I’ve grown up alongside her, so exploring those themes felt really personal. It’s about balancing independence with love, ambition with vulnerability, and figuring out what parts of yourself you want to hold onto versus what you’re ready to let change. That felt really honest to play.”

One of television’s most beloved series gets the reboot treatment. “Part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West, this fresh adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s iconic semi-autobiographical Little House books offers a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the frontier,” notes the logline. Luke Bracey and Crosby Fitzgerald play Charles and Caroline Ingalls, while daughters Laura and Mary are portrayed by Alice Halsey and Skywalker Hughes, respectively.

“I am absolutely thrilled with the brilliant cast we have assembled. Each one of them brings something special to the Little House universe and will help make this story come alive for a whole new generation,” showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine tells Tudum. “This show is a love story about a family. They’re a family you want to be with, you want to know, you want to spend time with. That’s really at the core of what Little House on the Prairie is about: a family that is there for each other, that tells stories to each other, tells stories about themselves.”

Antidiva: The Carole Pope Confessions

As lead singer for Canadian new wave band Rough Trade, Carole Pope took rock music in bold new directions — particularly with the band’s biggest hit, High School Confidential, a taboo-shattering, unabashed ode to lesbian lust that got big radio play in Canada, but was considered so racy south of the border that no U.S. record labels would touch them. This documentary follows Pope as she tours, writes, hustles and navigates an industry that worships youth and rarely makes room for a septuagenarian queer woman who doesn’t play by the rules.

It’s been awhile since fans said goodbye to The Big Bang Theory, but this summer will bring the arrival of this long-awaited spinoff, focused on comic store owner Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman). Here, Stuart stumbles upon a high-tech device built by Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki), which he accidentally breaks, resulting in a “a multiverse armageddon.” He tries to set things right, but continually fails (hence the title). Along for the ride are Stuart’s girlfriend Denise (Lauren Lapkus), pal Bert Kibbler (Brian Posehn) and Sheldon’s nemesis Barry Kripke (John Ross Bowie). Fans have been promised that the gang will encounter alternate-universe versions of Big Bang characters, while the tag line declares, “If at first you don’t succeed, try in another multiverse.”

Series creator Chuck Lorre recognizes that combining action-adventure, science fiction and comedy, set within the universe of The Big Bang Theory, is not without its risks. “It’s a big swing,” he tells People of his latest series. “I just wanted to do something that challenged me, that I was uncomfortable and in unfamiliar territory and the special effects stuff, the computer graphics, all those things. Most of my career has been two people sit on a couch and talk. That’s my career. But that’s the extent of production, and I wanted to try and do something with all the extraordinary computer graphics available now and see if it could be funny.” That said, Lorre is well aware that his latest show is pretty far out there, and how it will be received by The Big Bang Theory’s legions of fans remains an open question. “I think it will be revered or reviled,” Lorre adds. “I’m not sure which.”

Pickleball pandemonium hits the screen in this comedy movie about a washed-up tennis pro (Jake Johnson) who becomes so desperate to save a struggling country club and impress his father that he breaks a sacred vow he’d made to himself and begins playing pickleball. In addition to Mary Steenburgen, the impressive supporting cast also includes Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Patton Oswalt, Chris Parnell, Chloe Fineman and real-life tennis star Andy Roddick.

Speaking with Pickleball.com, Johnson admits he wasn’t all that familiar with the game before he signed onto the movie, but after training for the role has become a diehard devotee. “The game just started getting more and more fun, and the appreciation of the game really came into training for the movie and understanding that they were going to ask me to do a lot on camera and it wasn’t just going to be goofing around,” he explains. “We shot the hell out of the pickleball stuff, and it looks good.” As he says, “the beauty of pickleball is that it’s a really mixed bag. You’ve got some senior citizens and they can play. I was getting smoked by a 65-year-old lady and she was talking trash, and there was nothing I could do about it.”
