summer series
Warm-weather television slate
A summer series is a television program that airs during the summer months, typically filling the gap between traditional fall and spring seasons.
Networks historically used summer for reruns and lower-profile programming, but summer series have gained prestige: The show started as a summer series before moving to the fall lineup.
The term also applies to seasonal sporting events or concert runs: The orchestra's summer series features outdoor performances.
