Bitchy TV Preview: Mistresses

One of the shows premiering on ABC this summer is Mistresses, which gets the additional buzz and promotion of being Alyssa Milano's return to television. Since we haven't seen her onscreen since the ending of Charmed almost if not over 5 years ago, this is big news. Charmed fans, myself included, have missed seeing her onscreen and this role is much more grown-up than ones we have seen her in before. Not quite Long Island Lolita, but a little bit more sexified than Phoebe or Sam. I don't know much about the show other than that it is based off of a now-cancelled British drama and will be premiering this summer, exact date not disclosed just yet. Here's a sneak peek of the trailer, courtesy of Entertainment Tonight:

ET describes Mistresses as "a complex show about four best friends and the controversial decisions that their hearts force them to confront." Rounding out the cast of ladies includes Rochelle Aytes (Madea fans will remember her as Lisa from Madea's Family Reunion), Yunjin Kim (Sun from Lost), and Jes Macallan (she's done a lot of guest-starring roles on shows like Justified and NCIS: LA).

Go nose around Mistresses' official page on ABC if you want a little more info about the show, but the trailer's interesting enough to me to give it a looksie when it premieres. What say you?
