An alpha pack of werewolves has come to Beacon Hills in the third season of MTV's supernatural drama, leaving bodies, fur, and one-liners in their wake. All the stress puts teen wolf Scott's (Tyler Posey) relationship with his mom, ex-girlfriend, and best friend in jeopardy. Also he could, like, die. Did we mention there's some same-sex romancing? (Did we mention that it's not between Dylan O'Brien's Stiles and Tyler Hoechlin's Derek?) —Adam Carlson

Truman Burrell and his daughter Willa, who clash over their views on vampire rights. Nicole Wright (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) is an activist?but is she a human? ''Moderately powerful'' faerie Ben Flynn (Rob Kazinsky) sparks with Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin). SPOILER: There will be nudity. Ben and Sookie will cross paths with Niall Brigant (Rutger Hauer), another faerie related to the Stackhouse siblings who has lots of information — and even more hair. —Lanford Beard, Mandi Bierly, Lynette Rice, and Erin Strecker

Season 6 has been full of infidelity, drug use, and intra-office intrigue. All in a day's work for Don Draper (Jon Hamm) & Co. By the June 23 finale, 1968 will likely be but a fading memory. Moon landing, Woodstock, and four more years of Vietnam, here we come! —Lanford Beard

Three Dear Departures

EW's Must List
Credit: Ursula Coyote/AMC

Our favorite serial killer returns to Showtime June 30 for a final round of sardonic thrills on Dexter. The under-50 set and Simpsons diehards will certainly be tuning into Comedy Central July 3 for Matt Groening's sci-fi cartoon Futurama. And Walter White & Co. bring Breaking Bad (shown) to an end on AMC starting Aug. 11, which means you've got eight episodes before you have to quit the habit. There's a 12-step program for that, right? —Henry Goldblatt and Nuzhat Naoreen

The Bridge (July 10)

Credit: FX

Adapted from a Scandinavian series of the same name, The Bridge opens on a ''dead body'' — the top half of a female Texas judge and the lower half of a young Mexican girl — found on the bridge connecting El Paso to Juárez, Mexico. The ensuing murder investigation brings together two opposing cops, detectives Sonya Cross (Diane Kruger) and Marco Ruiz (Demián Bichir), while illustrating the corruption and violence around the U.S.-Mexico border. For Bichir, who was born in Mexico City and earned an Oscar nod for playing an illegal immigrant in 2011's A Better Life, the material is particularly resonant. ''If it was up to me, I'd just do films or projects that could try to make a difference while we're entertaining you,'' he says. —Tim Stack

Making its Stateside debut on STARZ later this summer, the British import (based on Philippa Gregory's historical novels) may have cast Max Irons (a.k.a. Jeremy's son) as England's King Edward IV amid the violent Wars of the Roses, but it's the women of the court who are out for blood. Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson takes on the titular role of Elizabeth Woodville, British stage star Amanda Hale portrays religious zealot Lady Margaret Beaufort (a.k.a. The Red Queen), and newcomer Faye Marsay plays the pawn as Lady Anne Neville. —Lanford Beard
