Summer doesn’t officially start until June 21, of course, but the streaming giants are getting a jump on it with Memorial Day weekend’s epic offerings of Disney+ limited series Obi-Wan Kenobi and season 4 of Netflix horror phenomenon Stranger Things — two can’t-miss series that will continue their journeys into summer.

Drama is high with Peaky Blinders’ final season, part 2 of Better Call Saul’s sixth and last season, and limited series The Terminal List and Black Bird dropping, while comedies like Only Murders in the Building and What We Do in the Shadows will lighten the mood. Superheroes dot these hot summer months, including the premiere of Marvel’s She-Hulk and the third seasons of The Boys and Umbrella Academy.

Sci-fi — welcome back, Westworld! — teen dramedies, horror, and second Star Wars series of the season Andor fill out the schedule. Finally, the end of the season holds the premieres of two highly-anticipated prequels: HBO’s Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon and Prime Video’s sprawling epic The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

With those gems and the others we note below in our list of 40 new and returning shows we can’t wait to see, it looks like summer 2022 might best be enjoyed at home.
