The summer television and streaming schedule offers a diverse lineup of returning favorites and new shows. Popular programs such as “Ted Lasso,” “Slow Horses,” and “The Bear” will make a comeback, while movies from series like “Call My Agent!” and “Heartstopper” will provide closure to ongoing stories.
New additions to the schedule include a “Big Bang Theory” spinoff featuring Stuart the comics guy (titled “Stuart Fails to Save the Universe”), a comedy centered on an aging golfer starring Will Ferrell (“The Hawk”), and a compelling drama starring J.K. Simmons and Titus Welliver (“The Westies”).
