15 Most Hotly Anticipated TV Shows Of Summer 2017

13. The Sinner

The Sinner Jessica Biel
USA

A decade after 7th Heaven came to a close, Jessica Biel returns to a leading TV role with The Sinner. It's a different side to Biel than normal, as she plays a woman who brutally stabs a man to death on a crowded beach, and has absolutely no idea why she did it.

Bill Pullman will serve as co-star, playing the investigator looking into the crime, while Christopher Abbot (Girls) will play the husband of Biel's Cora. It promises an interesting twist on the typical murder mystery series, instead serving as a psychological drama. The question isn't what happened or who did it, but rather 'why?'.

Premiere Date: August 2
