The following summer series will debut, return for new seasons or come to an end for the season as well as new made-for-TV movies to debut over the course of this coming week:
Braindead is the new comic-thriller series to debut on CBS on June 13 at 10 PM. The show is set in the world of Washington, D.C. politics that follows Laurel (Mary Elizabeth Winstead from Mercy Street), a young, fresh-faced Hill staffer who discovers two things: the government has stopped working, and bugs are eating the brains of Congress members and Hill staffers. The cast includes Aaron Tveit (Graceland), Danny Pino (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), and Tony Shalhoub (Monk).
Also on June 13, the new season of Major Crimes will premiere on TNT at 10 PM.
The new FreeForm series Guilt will also debut on June 13 at 9 PM. The definition of guilt is being responsible for wrongdoing or a crime. In the murder of Molly Ryan, many are guilty in different ways, but only one is truly guilty of her murder. When Natalie’s sister Grace (Daisy Head from When Calls the Heart movie) becomes the prime suspect in her roommate Molly’s murder and popular target for the press and in social media, Natalie leaves her life in Boston and heads to London to defend her. With the help of an ethically questionable ex-pat lawyer Stan Gutterie (Billy Zane), Natalie starts to question how innocent her sister may really be as more ugly truths start to emerge. The cast includes Anthony Stewart Head (Buffy and Merlin) and Kevin Ryan (Copper)
On June 16, the second season of the NBC summer series Aquarius will premiere at 10 PM.
The new season of Orange Is the New Black will air on Netflix on June 17.
On June 18, The Convenient Groom is the new movie that will debut on Hallmark Channel at 9 PM. Dr. Kate Lawrence, a celebrity relationship expert, plans to publicly announce her engagement to Bryan, a handsome and perfectly polished businessman. As Kate prepares to share the news, Bryan shocks her by breaking up with her and calling off the wedding. Wanting to save her from humiliation and protect her public image, Lucas Wright, Kate’s childhood friend steps in and pretends to be Kate’s fiancé. The film stars Vanessa Marcil and David Sutcliffe.
The season finale of Penny Dreadful will air on Showtime on June 19 at 10 PM.
Also on June 19, Murder She Baked: A Deadly Recipe is the new Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movie will debut at 9 PM. Bakery owner Hannah Swensen (Alison Sweeney) just can’t keep her hands out of the batter when murder stirs things up in Lake Eden, Minnesota, leaving the sheriff dead, a deputy accused, and a killer on the loose. For Hannah, life seems to be lacking a certain flavor lately. Maybe it’s the local sheriff’s election that’s got her down. For years, Sheriff Grant’s been the iron hand in town. But now, Hannah’s brother-in-law Bill is giving the old blowhard the fight of his long, dubious career—and Grant’s not taking it well, especially once the polls show Bill pulling ahead. But before anyone can taste victory, things go sour. While Hannah’s emptying the trash, she makes a very unappetizing discovery: Sheriff Grant’s body in the Dumpster behind the high school where she’s teaching her cooking class. And as if that weren’t bad enough, the poor man still has fudge frosting on his shirt from one of her cupcakes. The number one—and only—suspect is Bill, but Hannah’s not swallowing it. Plenty of people had reason to hate Sheriff Grant. Soon, Hannah’s dishing up scandalous secrets, steaming hot betrayals, and enough intrigue to keep the gossip mill at The Cookie Jar going through several pots of decaf. And the closer Hannah gets to the truth, the closer she gets to finding the murderer with a calorie-laden, nasty recipe for silencing people.
Mark your calendars!

It’s almost hard for me to believe that six years ago today I launched Rueben’s Ramblings, as an off-shoot (if you will) of my weekly column over at NiceGirlsTV.
It has been nothing short of an amazing journey since that day!!! And it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my readers.
As I have done in the past, I want to thank everyone who has stopped by to read my entertainment reports, all the articles and spotlights, the year-end round-ups and the ratings results – among all the other “stuff”- that I have posted here over the years.
I hope you will continue to visit Rueben’s Ramblings as often as you can.
Please know that I am always available by email to answer any entertainment questions you may have. You can email me at ruebenpreymate@gmail.com
Happy Sixth Anniversary!
