A modern day re-telling of the Beauty and the Beast fairy tale, this re-imagination of the original story uses medical experimentation to create a “beast” who has no cure to resolve what’s been done to him.

The upcoming American television series explores what happens when a paranormal force begins mysteriously haunting the Earth by using the most unlikely and unsuspecting inhabitants on the planet — children!

In the new ABC series The Whispers, someone (or something) is manipulating the ones we love most to accomplish the unthinkable.
Rosewood is a perfect little town… you’d never guess it holds so many secrets! Some of the ugliest secrets belong to the prettiest girls in town: Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily are four BFF’s whose darkest secrets have been unraveling since Alison, the Queen Bee of their group, disappeared. ABC’s hit show is gearing up for its 6th season premiere, and no longer are the girls just wanting to sit by and wait for “A’s” next attack.

Melissa & Joey is a half-hour comedy show that follows Mel, the grown-up former wild child of a political family, who is now the local town’s politician herself. When her sister ends up in prison and her brother-in-law flees after a scandal hits, Mel must take responsibility for her teenaged niece, Lennox, and nephew, Ryder.

ABC Family’s season 3 summer premiere of The Fosters: a drama about a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms.

In this series, the Fosters will deal with many different issues, including hook ups, break ups, romances, and important life lessons.
One of Netflix’s biggest hits, Orange is the New Black, returns with an all new season!! (can you tell we’re excited?!). This hilarious series follows the story of Piper Chapman, a woman in her thirties who is sentenced to fifteen months in prison after being convicted of a decade-old crime of transporting money for her drug-dealing girlfriend. Piper, of course, is the ultimate cliche of the rich white girl: She is in prison because of a lesbian college fling, and her sentence interrupts her plans for the development of a soap line. Season 3 is gearing up to be the best season yet as Netflix has singlehandedly bridged the gap between the rich and the poor in a way that is simply revolutionary!
SyFy’s series Defiance begins in the year of 2046 — it’s a new Earth with very new rules. The series is set in the near future, where aliens known collectively as Votans have come to Earth seeking a new home after their solar system was destroyed. Of course they were not welcome. Rather than turn away, they began a war with the humans as they are determined to make Earth their new home. Over thirty years, society is completely altered and transformed nearly beyond recognition. Season 3 of Defiance premiers on June 12 and is said to be the best one yet!
Mistresses is the ultimate show about the scandalous lives of a group of girlfriends, each on her own path to self-discovery as they brave the turbulent journey together.

Don’t forget to catch the season 3 premiere of The Mistresses on ABC.
Engineered as an anthology, each season of True Detective will introduce new cast ensembles, characters, settings, and self-contained narratives.

True Detective ’s second season will take place in California and is gearing up to be even better than the first season! Don’t miss the season 2 premiere of True Detective on HBO.
This brand new series on HBO is centred around a group of football players and their families, friends, and handlers.

CBS has announced that the Big Brother 17 start date is June 24, 2015 with a two-night season premiere!!! I think after 17 seasons, it’s safe to say that we cannot get enough of this show! For those of you who don’t know, this series follows a group of contestants, known as HouseGuests, who are living together in a custom-built home under constant surveillance. The HouseGuests are completely isolated from the outside world, and can have no communication with those not in the house. The contestants are competing for a $500,000 grand prize, with weekly competitions and evictions determining who will win the show.
One of the most anticipated summer premieres has to be Suits — the insanely addicting legal drama airing on the USA network. The show tells the story of Mike Ross (played by Patrick J. Adams), who works as a law associate for one of the biggest corporate attorneys in New York City, Harvey Specter (played by Gabriel Macht). But there’s a catch: Mike was brilliant enough to win the associate position despite never actually attending law school! Specter believes his new right-hand man is a legal prodigy with the book smarts of a Harvard law grad and the street smarts of a “hustler.” However, in order to keep their jobs, the charade must remain strictly between these two unconventional, but brilliant thinkers.
Ambitious young cops try to prove themselves in their high-stakes careers, in which the smallest mistake can have deadly consequences. The series follows Andy and her four colleagues — Dov Epstein, Gail Peck, Traci Nash and Chris Diaz — as they experience the trials, triumphs and tribulations of police work, as well as its effect on their personal lives. Each case they tackle and each choice they make will impact their lives, but it’s their personal relationships that may play an even greater role in defining the cops they become. Don’t miss the season 6 premiere of Rookie Blue on ABC!
MTV’s Teen Wolf revolves around social outcast Scott McCall, played by Tyler Posey, a high school student living in the town of Beacon Hills. Scott’s life drastically changes when he is bitten by a werewolf, becoming one himself. He must henceforth learn to balance his problematic new identity with his day-to-day teenage life… jam packed with friendships, hookups and breakups (ahh, high school). New villains that use a combination of science and the supernatural for a mysterious purpose eventually will attempt to pit Scott and his friends against their greatest enemy yet!
This hilarious FX series follows Russ and Lina Bowman, a long-time married couple who, when they are not fighting over debts, child rearing, and their declining sex life, are reminded that their close friendship is what drew them together in the first place.
