Here is the list of the programming options to expect on TV this coming week:

The two-hour series premiere of Dietland will air on June 4 at 9 PM on AMC. This darkly comedic series, based on the Sarai Walker best-selling novel, consists of 10 episodes and follows Plum Kettle (Joy Nash), ghost-writer for the editor of one of New York’s hottest fashion magazines, as she struggles with self-image and sets out on a wildly complicated road to self-acceptance. At the same time, everyone is buzzing over news reports about men, accused of sexual abuse and assault, who are disappearing and meeting untimely, violent deaths.

On June 5, the third season of Humans will premiere at 10 PM on AMC while the TV Land dramedy Younger will air its 5th season premiere that same night at 10 PM.

Also on June 6, the YouTube Red original series Impulse will debut online today. The series follows 16-year-old Henrietta “Henry” Coles, who discovers she has the ability to teleport. The first time she realizes this, she is in a truck with her high school’s Golden Boy, who tries to rape her. She has a seizure and teleports, in the course of which she inadvertently crushes him, leaving him a paraplegic. The series is based on the novel of the same name by Steven Gould.

The two-hour debut of Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger will debut on Freeform on June 7 at 8 PM. The drama focuses on Tandy Bowen (Olivia Holt from Kickin’ It) and Tyrone Johnson (relative newcomer Aubrey Joseph) – two teenagers from very different backgrounds, who find themselves burdened and awakened to newly acquired superpowers which are mysteriously linked to one another. Tandy can emit light daggers and Tyrone has the ability to engulf others in darkness. They quickly learn they are better together than apart, but their feelings for each other make their already complicated world even more challenging.
