This year streaming companies have brought their A game with twisty miniseries, from gut-wracking thrillers to taunting dramas.As you brood the last stretch of summer, here's a list of limited TV series to stay in and absorb.

It’s here; sooner than expected! Paramount+ recently revealed that its tattoo competition series, Ink Master, will soon launch the fourteenth season. The streamer previously canceled the series after its 13th season, which didn’t get a chance to adequately showcase its season finale episodes due to the abrupt outbreak of COVID-19. In addition to the health crisis, the season three competitors were awarded less money than initially stated. Paramount Plus’ decision to concentrate on mini-series and TV movies could also be why Ink Master was canceled. The streamer chose to bring back the category in 2021. Ink Master season fourteen comes in ten episodes, a decline from its predecessors. There hasn’t been any justification for the reduction in the number of episodes; maybe it’s just a testing ground to ascertain the show’s performance after the abrupt ending.

Did you know that your beloved HBO series, Euphoria, is adapted from an Israel miniseries of the same title?Well, you're not alone; even some of the dying fans of the series had no idea. The original film ran for a single season nearly a decade before the incredible remake, which was launched on HBO and HBO Max on June 16th, 2019, and January 9th, 2022, for seasons one and two, respectively.

Hulu knows how to keep its fans glued to their couches perfectly. The streaming platform recently announced its adaptation of Carola Lovering’s award-winning book, Tell Me Lies of 2018, scheduled to launch in early September. Straight from her role in Hulu’s mini-series, Nine Perfect Strangers, Grace Van Patten takes up the leading role in the series alongside other talented characters.

Producing a TV show that manages to capture the audience season after season requires clever planning and keen attention to detail. It’s a daunting task as we know it!There's a certain excitement that comes with a new TV show, and we've all had incidences where we try our best to sit through a second season, hoping it'll live up to its initial hype. But sometimes, no matter how hard we try, it's impossible to finish a show's second season because it lost its way or there was a huge reduction in quality. We have listed some TV shows that started with much promise but couldn’t retain their zazz after the initial season.

Adapting TV shows from comics or movies has become the order of the day for many creators. This benefits both the original writers and adapter; the reconstructed story turns out to be more captivating due to the difference in time, trends, and seasons. The most recent achievement in the list is Amazon Prime Video's Paper Girls, a modification of Cliff Chiang and Brian K. Vaughan's comic novel series of the same title.

2022 has HBO Max working overtime to ensure its fans get beyond-expectations shows. House of Ho season two is the newest piece on the streaming platform, with ten new episodes from the Texas-based Vietnamese family, the Ho. After launching its first season in December 2020, House of Ho has returned for season two, and it appears Keeping Up With the Kardashians is getting a competitor.

Paramount+ recently revealed the return of Star Trek: Lower Decks for its third season, adding to the list of heart-warming summer series from the streamer. The news was accompanied by the debut of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season two and Star Trek: Discovery season five. The series launched in January 2021 with its first season, while the second season landed in August.

Peacock is here to ensure your summer ends well with its most recent accomplishment, Everything I Know About Love, an adaptation of Dolly Alderton’s memoir of the same title. The memoir, which won the 2018 National Book Award for Autobiography, focuses on Alderton’s personal and exciting narrative of facing your 20s with enthusiasm and energy and a fair share of messiness, joy, and regular heartbreaks. It also provides other aspects on crucial subjects such as career, body image, love, and many more.

Bill Nye, the Science Guy, is back with another piece, The End is Nye, scheduled to launch later this month on Peacock. The unscripted series follows Bill Nye as he navigates through the world’s most severe catastrophes, including natural and artificial ones.

Hulu has been working full-time to deliver incredible pieces like The Girl from Plainville this 2022. The most recent accomplishment on the streamer is Mike, a limited series based on Mike Tyson's true-life experiences.

Starring in a major sitcom can be life-changing, but it can also create lots of off-screen tension. Helen Baxendale claims that while it was an amazing experience working with her Friends co-stars, the vibe on the set wasn’t exactly positive. Baxendale joined Friends in season 4 when the show's popularity was blowing up. She starred in 14 episodes as Emily Waltham, Ross's girlfriend and second wife, for a brief moment. Given that Ross was already in love with Rachel while with Emily, evidenced by his blurring out the former's name on the wedding altar, fans didn't necessarily love her.

Comics to TV series adaptations have become the new normal on streaming platforms. The list is long from Irma Vep, Stargirl, Doom Patrol, etc., and the trend doesn't seem to end any time soon. If you are a fan of reading novels, you have at some point wished your favorite one could be adapted into a TV show. We have made up a list of comic to TV show adaptations to show worth your time and eyes.

What's more interesting than the back-to-back shows that Apple TV+ has been delivering this 2022? After the success of The Essex Serpent, Loot, Roar, and The Afterparty, the streaming platform has returned with another installment of See, a sci-fi series. Since its launch in 2019, See has significantly contributed to Apple TV Plus' growth with its outstanding performance. The first season managed a 90% audience and an 8.1 out of 10-star rating, while season two garnered an 83% average audience score and a 7.6 out of 10-star rating on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, respectively.

Paul Feig, the creator of the teenage high school comedy-drama show Freaks and Geeks, decided to shoot the finale before the series was nipped. But why?
