Soak up the summer with three new seasons of PBS Wisconsin viewer favorites!

The Outlaws

Season 2 premieres 9 p.m. Friday, July 5

While performing community service, Bristo’s most unlikely outlaws have wound up on the wrong side of the law. Again. The money the group “accidentally” stole is catching up with them, and the criminal underworld is tightening its grip. Literally.

Rani manages to buy the group some extra time. There’s just one catch: They’re going to have to become drug dealers to earn back the stolen money.

VOCES

Season 5 premieres 9 p.m. Tuesday, July 9

Produced by Latino Public Broadcasting, VOCES features the best of Latino arts, culture and history and shines a light on current issues that impact Latino Americans.

Devoted to exploring the rich diversity of the Latino experience, VOCES presents new and established filmmakers and brings their powerful and illuminating stories to a national audience.

Hotel Portofino

Season 3 premieres 7 p.m. Sunday, July 28

Hotel Portofino is an exhilarating period drama about a British family who runs a hotel for upper-class travelers on the magical Italian Riviera during the glamorous Roaring ’20s but also under the dark cloud of Fascist Italy.

Bella is preparing for her father and sister’s arrival but is thrown when Cecil appears requesting divorce. Over the weeks, Bella must decide her future as well as avoid fascist leader Danioni. But with the Wall Street crash, things get worse as Bella and Cecil lose everything. Dark secrets are exposed during another adventure in this sun-soaked 1920s Italian drama.
