Summer small screen

Who can believe that we are almost half way through 2025? It has flown by. In terms of television, it has been a great six months. This week we are taking a look at what is due to come out over the summer season including returning shows and new series.

The real-life British drama series “Outrageous” centres around the Mitford sisters. Starring Joanna Vanderham, Bessie Carter, Isobel Jesper Jones, Orla Hill and Toby Regbo, the show tells the tale of the aristocratic daughters of an English Baron and his wife who were famous in the 1930s. The sisters were notorious for not living by the rules of society.

Back for a fourth season is the comedy drama “The Bear.” Jeremy Allen White is back playing an award-winning chef who returns to his hometown of Chicago to manage the kitchen at his late brother’s sandwich shop. While the first and second seasons of this show did really well, audiences were not very impressed with the third so it will be interesting to see how the fourth does.
