3. Nashville

Nashville faces the impossible when it returns for the second half of Season 5: Continue telling the stories of the characters in the wake of losing Connie Britton's Rayna. Don't worry, Rachel Bilson and Kaitlin Doubleday are tapped to appear in the upcoming episodes.

4. Fear the Walking Dead

This spin-off of The Walking Dead returns June 4, and something tells us this will be the season it pops and turns into something worth watching. Who are we kidding? It will be the same old show, but we'll watch it. It's not like there are a lot of other options this summer.
