Ready for summer TV? Sheltering in place may leave you with a lot of time on your sanitized hands.
Thankfully, television is here to offer a distraction.
New streaming service HBO Max is up and running with several original series, including one starring a beloved "Sesame Street" character in "The Not Too Late Show with Elmo" and Anna Kendrick in rom-com series "Love Life."
While ABC's "The Bachelorette" season starring Clare Crawley has been delayed, the network is looking back on its franchise's finest moments in "The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever!" And it's time to say goodbye to Netflix's "Fuller House" and "13 Reasons Why."
Our calendar of major highlights ensures you won't miss the return of your favorite series or the start of a new show you'll fall in love with. (All times EDT/PDT).
