21 TV Premieres This Week (June 7–13, 2026): The Vampire Lestat, Alice and Steve, More

This is a new chapter in the screen adaptations of Anne Rice’s vampire novels, built around Lestat as he fronts a rock band and takes the act on the road. His fame keeps climbing, and so does his sway over both vampires and the humans around him, which sets up a larger conflict known as the Great Conversion. The premiere, titled “Detroit,” has Lestat looking back on how he got here: the band coming together, a book that made waves, and a hallucinatory stretch that plays out as a spiritual trip. By the end he is squaring off with a coven that wants nothing to do with him.

The setup here is a friendship gone sideways. Alice has a best friend, Steve, and a 26-year-old daughter, Izzy. When Steve and Izzy start dating, Alice sees herself losing both of them at once, and she sets out to break the couple up. Steve sees it coming and pushes back, so a close friendship curdles into open warfare between the two of them. The series calls itself an anti-romantic comedy, leaning on the awkward overlap of friendship, family, and dating rather than a tidy love story. The first episode introduces the three people at the center and the rupture that drives the rest of the season.

This is a screen adaptation of the novel by Carley Fortune. It is a romance with a nostalgic streak, centered on first love and the way early choices and relationships keep their hold on people long afterward. The premiere opens the story and sets up the central pairing the book is built around. Beyond that, the listing does not include a synopsis for the first episode yet, so the specifics of what happens are not public. What is clear is the register: this is a love story told with an eye toward memory and the past rather than a fast-moving plot.

The yacht-charter reality series returns for an 11th season, this time cruising the Greek islands with a new boat, a new crew, and a fresh set of wealthy guests rotating through each charter. The job is high-end service under constant pressure, and the season points to the usual mix of onboard romances and crew members crossing professional lines. Santorini and Mykonos are among the stops.

The obstacle-course competition is back for season 18, opening with the first round of Western regional qualifying. Athletes run a course of grip and balance obstacles, and the ones who finish advance toward the national finals in Las Vegas, where a four-stage course modeled on Japan’s Mt. Midoriyama waits.

The South Carolina drama returns for a fifth season. It follows three women who have been friends since high school as they help each other through the tangles of relationships, work, and family in their small town. The premiere picks the story back up; no episode synopsis is listed yet.
