Streaming Summer Unleashed: New Shows Conquer TV Viewers

With traditional networks taking a break, streaming platforms are jumping at the chance to attract viewers this summer. These services are leveraging the void left by the generalists to debut cult shows, much-anticipated returns, and fresh new series. Here's a look at some top picks to keep an eye on this season.

Netflix

Squid Game 3

The highly anticipated third season of Squid Game is set to be the talk of the summer. This suspenseful series has already broken viewership records, and fans are eagerly awaiting the finale, where protagonist Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) will confront the system once more. Expect new challenges, as the infamous giant doll Welcome will have a new companion, Cheol-su, promising even more bloodshed.

The Bear

A cooking show like no other, The Bear delves into the existential ramifications of the culinary world. Withdetailed behind-the-scenes drama and complex characters led by the charismatic Carmy (Jeremy Allen-White), this absorbing series promises another emotionally charged season that will hook even the most discerning viewers.

Wednesday

Time Burton returns to the small screen with this darkly humorous spin on the beloved Addams Family character, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega). As Wednesday enrolls in Nevermore Academy, audiences can expect a thrilling mixture of paranormal powers, family drama, and acceptance at this Gothic boarding school.

Paramount+

Dexter: Resurrection

Fans of the original serial killer drama, Dexter, won't want to miss this hotly anticipated revival. After being shot by his son Harrison, Dexter (Michael C. Hall) will wake from his coma and continue to hunt down new prey, now with the help of Uma Thurman as the enigmatic Charley.

While Italian animated series are not slated for release in June or July 2023 on either Netflix or Prime Video, be sure to keep an eye out for these engaging, thought-provoking shows that are sure to dominate the summer streaming landscape.

Average viewership ratings for summer shows on streaming platforms like Netflix and Paramount+ are expected to surge due to the absence of traditional television programming. Movies-and-tv entertainment enthusiasts will find a healthy dose of suspense, drama, and humor in new seasons of Squid Game 3, The Bear, Wednesday, and Dexter: Resurrection.
