15 Most Hotly Anticipated TV Shows Of Summer 2018

2. Sharp Objects

HBO may not have Game of Thrones this year, but they are still at the forefront when it comes to TV's most exciting shows, and their most exciting offering of 2018 comes in the form of Sharp Objects, which has Amy Adams in the lead role.

The combination of HBO and Adams - hell, just Adams alone - is enough to stir up interest, but the show has an intriguing premise too. Camille Preaker, a crime reporter recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital after years of self-harming, returns to her hometown to investigate the murders of two young girls and has to face-up to her personal demons as well.

It's based on a Gillian Flynn novel, and if it can reach the same levels of quality as Gone Girl it'll be a massive hit. To help, the great Marti Noxon has written the show, with all episodes directed by Big Little Lies' Jean-Marc Vallée.

Air Date: July (exact date TBC)
