Next Week in TV 6/3: Cloak & Dagger super charges this week.

By DRWHO42, Mario Wario, and Alyssa

The summer shift is upon us, and while the summer offerings in the past were light, this week will prove to be exceptional. There are a number of new entries with great potential, as they tell the stories of life from many different perspectives and, in some cases, show what happens when those lives intersect.  

The week starts strong with the series premieres of Pose on FX and Succession on HBO. Pose is co-created by uber-producer Ryan Murphy, and based on what we have seen from the promotions, it will be an interesting look at life in New York City during the latter part of the 1980s.

On Monday, a new series from Facebook, yes, the one and only Facebook, titled Five Points will focus on life in high school. Later that Monday night, Julianna Margulies makes her return to television with Dietland.

The popular makeup competition series Face Off returns to Syfy on Tuesday. Later that evening the relations between humans and robots will be tested, as Humans returns on AMC for its third season.  

Espionage fans will be interested in the new CIA-based drama titled Condor on The Audience network. The trailers for this series look great!

The highlight of the week will be Marvel‘s Cloak & Dagger which is premiering on FreeForm. The trailers for this series look great, and we will be checking it out.

There are a few goodbyes this week, however. Justice League Action and Patrick Melrose, both wrap up their seasons while The Crossing will wrap up for good, due to it not being renewed. Yet the most notable of the departures is Sense8, which will take its final bow this Friday evening on Netflix.
