PREACHER — AMC
Expectations are high for this adaptation of the revered comic series. Dominic Cooper (CAPTAIN AMERICA, ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER, DRACULA UNTOLD) plays the titular preacher, who lives in a dusty Texas town and who is imbued with a special power. With a character named Tulip and an Irish vampire in the mix, this is going to be one weird, wild ride!

SCREAM — MTV
Did you guess whodunit last year? I had a sprinkling of an inkling. … (A year later, I’m still afraid to spoil it!) Season 2 kicks off with Emma returning to Lakewood after taking some time to recover from the horrors of last summer, while Noah edges closer to the truths that weren’t revealed. Will you figure it out this year? My bet’s on Brooke!
