3. The Night Of

HBO's The Night Of was originally developed for the late, great James Gandolfini, before he passed away in 2013.

The series is going ahead now though, with Joh Turturro playing the role of a low-rent lawyer who takes on what seems like an unwinnable case. The case sees a Pakistani-American cabby's son, played by Riz Ahmed, accused of murder.

Across eight episodes it will provide a full examination of the case from start to finish, and should hopefully be another great courtroom drama of 2016. Further cause for hope comes from the fact it's created by Steven Zaillian (writer of, amongst many others, Schindler's List and Gangs of New York) and novelist Richard Price (The Wanderers, Clockers).

The Night Of will premiere on the night of July 10.
