Just because it’s nearly the start of summer, that doesn’t mean there isn’t something new to watch.

Sure, Fall and Spring tend to be the seasons for new shows, but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to go without some light entertainment on a rainy Wednesday. Today we have a few premiers, from the second season of an iconic historical romance to the twisty thriller adaptation of a popular YA novel. There’s always something to watch.

If you’ve ever wanted the sexy Bridgerton experiences but with Americans thrown into the mix, there’s always Apple TV+’s take on the genre. When a group of marriage-ready American women travel to England to find husbands, you know the drama is palpable. The new season starts today on Apple TV+.

If you ever read young adult novels, then you’ve likely heard of We Were Liars. After a freak accident, a girl goes back to the island her family summers on, trying to recount what happened that night last summer. Now Amazon Prime has adapted the twist-filled thriller by E. Lockhart to a limited series which you can watch starting today.

For reality TV that isn’t so shallow, watch Yolanthe debuting on Netflix

The problem with most lifestyle reality shows, especially ones set in Hollywood (I’m looking at you, Housewives and Kardashians), is that they normally feel so shallow. But Yolanthe feels like anything but. The show follows the Spanish/Dutch actress and model, Yolanthe Cabau, as she and her daughter move to Hollywood and all the health scares and legitimate family drama that comes with it.

What we’re talking about

The Pitt will be back for a second season.
