For tv show fans, here comes good news. 8 anticipated summer shows is upcoming in May and June this year. There are musical drama, alien-themed blend of Rick and Morty, post-apocalyptic CW, “Space Force” military show, Ruffalo starring as twins Dominick and Thomas Birdsey and others to entertain yourself.
DEAD TO ME
The Netflix dark comedy returns in May with a second season. Dead to Me follows two women who end up bonding through a grief support group — though one of them is hiding a dark secret about the other. Not to spoil, but there are multiple murderous turns in what might look like another innocuous Netflix sitcom. Starring Christina Applegate as Jen and Linda Cardellini as Judy, the second season will likely follow through on the first season’s big cliffhanger.
Available on Netflix on May 8
THE EDDY
The Eddy is a musical drama miniseries (which given the jazz club setting totally tracks), starring Andre Holland stars as Elliot Udo, the owner of the club called The Eddy, with Joanna Kulig (Cold War) as his on-and-off again girlfriend and Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give) as his teenage daughter.
Available on Netflix on May 8
SOLAR OPPOSITES
The Hulu original is like a wacky alien-themed blend of Rick and Morty and Family Guy. From one of the co-creators of Rick and Morty, Solar Opposites follows an alien family taking refuge in suburban American. Expect out-of-this world hijinks and a dose of wacky Adult Animation-brand humor.
Available on Hulu on May 8
