Summer premiers are as much a staple and sign of summer as Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer. Television stations want to keep you glued and keep their ratings up. Thankfully you can record and watch later, so you aren’t missing out on any of the sunshine! What are you excited to see this summer season? Here are 5 summer shows for teens I am looking forward to!

Summer Shows for Teens
Beauty and the Beast CW Thursday, 8pm EST
While Beauty and the Beast was once a fall show, it’s seems like it’s been permanently rebranded as one of the hottest summer shows for teens. Hey, I’m good with that! It gives me something great to watch on Thursday nights. This season, Cat and Vincent are on the trail of something even bigger and badder than anything they’ve ever faced before. Someone is making new beasts, experimenting on innocents throughout New York! Cat and Vince are reluctant to get involved at first. They FINALLY have a chance at a normal life, after all. Of course, being Beauty and the Beast, it was only a matter of time before that normalcy was smashed anyway!
Stichers Tuesday, 9pm EST
This is a brand new show on ABC Family, a station well-known for its hot summer shows for teens! Stitchers is perfect for older teens and young adults. In the show, Kirsten suffers from an odd disorder that causes her to have absolutely zero understanding or recognition of time. Basically, one minute and one year all feel the same. This disorder makes her the perfect candidate for the Stitchers program, a top-secret experimental program that actually “stitches” her into the memories of the recently dead to help her solve crimes! I’ve only seen two episodes and I’m already hooked!
Fear the Walking Dead AMC TBA
They are calling this a companion series, not a prequel. This one starts at the time when Rick Grimes was in a coma. You will be watching what happened when the zombie attacks began. This show is going to focus on more of the family and what they have to do to survive rather than the zombie apocalypse itself. The premier has yet to have a date, so stay tuned and keep checking AMC.
Under the Dome premiers June 25th
We’re heading back Under the Dome for a third season on June 25th! Except, well, we’re not really going to be UNDER the dome anymore, are we? At the end of the last season, a good chunk of the town escaped through the weird tunnel and ended up on the other side. What’s going to happen now that they’re out? What about the people still left back in the town? Guess we’ll find out when the season starts up again!
Pretty Little Liars Tuesday, 8EST Pretty Little Liars is back for a 6th season and things are heating up on one of the all-time HOTTEST summer show for teens! As relationships are put to the test, new and old secrets are revealed and the stakes are raised higher than ever before as the Liars come closer to the truth. Will all of their sacrifices be worth it in the end? We’ll have to watch and find out!
Which of these hottest summer shows for teens will you be tuning in to? Do you have any other favorites? Tell us in the comments!
It seems like Summer is THE season for teen shows. I used to watch Pretty Little Liars 3 years ago (since I was a HUGE fan of the book) but then it got a little too much and they completely ruined the storylines by not following the books anymore. I’ve heard Beauty and the Beast is great but since it’s my favorite Disney movie I’m afraid to watch the show because I know I’ll be picky about every detail.
Pretty little liars, YES! I am 20 (just out my teens) & it’s my favorite show. If your teens haven’t checked out once upon a time yet, I would totally recommend that one as well!
These sound like some intriguing shows! I love that tv writers in general have become much more creative and are really branching out into plot lines that haven’t been done before!
Hehehe are you sure these shows are for teens and not bored moms like me 😉 I watch some of these shows and love them! Lol
These all sound like great shows. I’m really excited the The Walking Dead one as we’re hooked on that show.
I’m excited about the walking dead spin off! Hope they make the show just as good.
I can’t wait for Under the Dome and Extant. Watched them both from the 1st episode. I like the Walking Dead too but I always seem to miss it. I have started collecting Seasons of that from Amazon when it hits a good price. I have 1 & 2 for starter on collection.
My kids dont really get too into whats on tv. Sometimes I wish they would so they could have a little down time before bed or whatever. Maybe Ill suggest a few of these 🙂
Wow Pretty Little Liars is still on?? Seems like that show has been on forever used to be my friend’s fav show!!!
This post brings me back to the days when I was a teen and the shows I watched, like 902012, lol!
You are right, must not miss these shows. Teens are going to be over the moon this summer
These are some of my favorites. I just started watching Stitchers, and I can’t wait for Under the Dome. I’m excited to see The Walking Dead spinoff. And, I’ve got episode 3 queued up to watch today of Pretty Little Liars.
OMG I have not seen under the dome since I finished season one I can not even remember what year lol but did not know they had done more seasons, definitely checking it out soon
These are shows my kids are anxious to watch. They are loving the shows that will be on this summer.
My daughters have been watching Pretty Little Liars for years. They also like Awkward on MTV.
I need to catch up on Pretty Little Liars, but I love all of the twists and turns. I also can’t wait for Fear the Walking Dead. I love the original and am looking forward to this new take on it.
