15 Most Hotly Anticipated TV Shows Of Summer 2018

10. Luke Cage

Luke Cage

Two years after his debut season, and a year after his dalliance with the Defenders, Luke Cage is back on home turf and ready to take on the new threats to Harlem.

A couple of those threats are actually old threats, with the return of Shades and Mariah, but the biggie this season is Bushmaster, who undergoes the same process as Carl Lucas and possesses similar abilities.

Based on the trailer, Luke will get his butt kicked as Bushmaster takes control of Harlem, and has to dig deep - and team-up with Misty Knight and her new arm - to beat him. The Netflix Marvel shows often live or die on the strength of their villains, so fingers crossed this one is more Cottonmouth than Diamondback.

Air Date: June 22
