FX Sets Summer Premiere Dates for Justified Sequel, What We Do in the Shadows, Reservation Dogs and More
FX has unveiled its summer schedule, which includes new seasons of Reservation Dogs and What We Do in the Shadows, and the highly anticipated return of Justified.
Timothy Olyphant reprises Raylan Givens in the sequel series Justified: City Primeval. Premiering Tuesday, July 18 with its first two episodes, the sequel series picks up 15 years after Raylan left Kentucky. He now lives in Miami, “a walking anachronism balancing his life as a U.S. Marshal and part-time father of a 15-year-old girl,” according to the official logline. “His hair is grayer, his hat is dirtier, and the road in front of him is suddenly a lot shorter than the road behind.
“A chance encounter on a desolate Florida highway sends him to Detroit,” the logline reveals. “There he crosses paths with Clement Mansell (Boyd Holbrook), aka The Oklahoma Wildman, a violent, sociopathic desperado who’s already slipped through the fingers of Detroit’s finest once and aims to do so again. Mansell’s lawyer, formidable Motor City native Carolyn Wilder (Aunjanue Ellis), has every intention of representing her client, even as she finds herself caught in between cop and criminal, with her own game afoot as well. These three characters set out on a collision course in classic Elmore Leonard fashion, to see who makes it out of the City Primeval alive.” Watch a teaser above.
Newly announced premieres also include What We Do in the Shadows Season 5 (Thursday, July 13 on FX), Reservation Dogs Season 3 (Wednesday, Aug. 2 on Hulu) and the just-announced final season of Archer (Wednesday, Aug. 30 on FXX).

What We Do In the Shadows, Justified. The Bear, The Full Money, and the Mayans
I’m so looking forward to Justified. I’ll miss the shenanigans of Boyd Crowder, but can’t wait to see Raylan back in action.
Same here. Raylan is the best!!
Raylan Givens, imo, is hands-down the coolest TV character ever. I’m so excited for this.
Yep, I dont even care if this return is a one off, limited series kinda thing as long as we get Raylan back for a good, solid season. But if it goes on longer I certainly wouldnt complain too hard… ;)
So excited about Justified! Like the others I’ll miss Boyd Crowder but I’m happy with Raylan Givens. Really happy.😁😊
Justified and Reservation Dogs
and The Mayans!
Mayans, Justified, Archer and Shadows. Looking forward to all of these!
I’m so looking forward to Reservation Dogs. I discovered this gem late and binged all seasons. Wow!! I wish others could discover the amazing stories and acting that takes place. Looking forward to season 3.
Yay! I LOVE What We Do in the Shadows! It’s one of the only shows that makes me laugh out loud.
Cannot wait for more Justified! Just already thinking that there aren’t going to be enough episodes & they’re going to leave us wanting more! But I love Raylan!!
