Dear newsletter subscribers,

This is the week that would have started traditional summer reality TV: The Bachelorette, with its oldest star ever, and then the return of Love Island.

Neither will premiere this week, because that was before, and this is now.

However, there will be plenty of new shows to watch this week and this summer, as I explore in a story for Primetimer that’ll be published tomorrow. And there are all kinds of shows, from ABC's Holey Moley to Fox's new dating competition, plus Netflix's The Big Flower Fight.
