This summer's hottest look is armor. Two of the biggest fantasy shows on TV — HBO's House of the Dragon and Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power — will be back on our screens this season, battling it out in gear that doesn't look too breathable. At least the heroes and villains on Prime Video's The Boys might be dressed more comfortably. Also this summer, FX's The Bear cooks up a new season, andBridgerton returns for more Regency romance. Plus, expect some big drama out of Paris. Emily in Paris is back (as are her questionable fashion choices), kicking off right after this season's biggest TV event: the 2024 Paris Olympics.
