HUNTING ISIS (HISTORY)
· [series premiere] · 5/29/18 at 10:00 PM
· [regularly airs] · tuesdays from 10:00 PM-11:00 PM EST
(from History's press release, May 2018) HISTORY(R) follows a group of veteran and civilian volunteers who travel to Syria and Iraq to fight against ISIS alongside local militias in the original documentary series, "Hunting ISIS." The 6-episode series premieres on Tuesday, May 29 at 10pm ET/PT. Following its broadcast on HISTORY, the series will air on VICELAND on Sunday, June 3 at 10pm ET/PT. "Hunting ISIS," a co-production of HISTORY and VICELAND, is produced by Delirio Films and directed by Sebastiano Tomada. John Battsek ("Restrepo," "Searching for Sugarman") serves as Executive Producer alongside Delirio's Rafael Marmor and Christopher Leggett. The terrorist organization known as ISIS emerged as a menace in the Middle East years before most in the West took notice of their attacks abroad. More brutal than Al Qaeda before them, ISIS took advantage of chaos caused by Syria's still-raging Civil War and the United States' withdrawal from Iraq to recruit heavily in the region. In 2014, the world watched as they swept across Iraq and Syria, capturing wide territories and ruthlessly killing or enslaving anyone who showed signs of resistance as they declared themselves the "Islamic State." Local forces backed by a U.S.-led coalition of western military powers began fighting back, but progress has taken years. Not content to sit back and watch ISIS devastate the Middle East from afar, scores of western volunteers have since traveled to region to join the fight against the terrorist group. Through the eyes of American fighters embedded with the Kurdish YPG militia in Syria, and medics supporting a coalition of local forces in Iraq, "Hunting ISIS" follows these men as they begin the difficult push to retake ISIS' capital cities. Completely unpaid and unsupported by their governments, western volunteers have many reasons for joining the fight. Some are military veterans craving the familiar adrenaline rush and brotherhood of combat, who shoulder a sense of unfinished business in the Middle East. Some are civilians eager to test their mettle while searching for a greater purpose. All are united in their determination to defend the innocent and end the atrocities being committed by ISIS. With unprecedented access, this documentary series witnesses their unique role in one of the defining conflicts of our time, exploring what's driving these men to war.

EVIDENCE OF INNOCENCE (TV ONE)
· [series premiere] · 6/4/18 at 10:00 PM
· [regularly airs] · mondays from 10:00 PM-11:00 PM EST
(from TV One's press release, April 2018) How would you survive inside the justice system if you were convicted of a crime that you did not commit? TV One's EVIDENCE OF INNOCENCE spotlights the unbelievable true stories of four people who endured this life-altering nightmare - innocent of crimes for which they were arrested and ultimately imprisoned. Premiering Monday, June 4 at 10/9c PM on TV One and hosted by acclaimed civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump, each one-hour episode of Evidence of Innocence focuses on one wrongfully convicted man or woman - Lisa Roberts, Richard Miles, Melonie Ware and Mark Schand - each faced with the enormous challenge of maintaining faith while awaiting the opportunity to prove their innocence. Locked in cells for years upon years, wrestling with fear, maddening loneliness, suicide-inducing despair, these survivors who somehow endured the struggle to have their cases overturned and regain their freedom, share their riveting accounts with Attorney Crump. Attorney Crump, who formerly served as President of the National Bar Association, has dedicated his career to bringing justice to those who are marginalized by the legal system and proves an insightful guide through each Evidence of Innocence journey. Crump served as the lead attorney for the families of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Alesia Thomas, and is a vanguard in the fight against police brutality. An Emmy and NAACP Image Award winner, acclaimed television and film producer Rushion McDonald (The Steve Harvey Show, Jamie Foxx, Think Like A Man) of 3815 Media is the series executive producer and creator, in partnership with Jupiter Entertainment. McDonald said that he was moved to create Evidence of Innocence in response to all the national headlines chronicling the racial injustice in America's justice system. "As Attorney Crump says," McDonald recalls, "all you have to do is sit in the back of a court room and you'll see that justice is not equal in this country." Evidence of Innocence, however, with its stirring tales of perseverance, is different from any other true crime show. He maintains, "Even though these persons received the blunt end of a bad deal, their stories are inspiring."

Although finding a dream dress can be stressful, it is only one of many things on a bride's to-do list. When it comes to wedding planning, deciding on a budget is nerve-racking, and engaged couples don't always see eye to eye when it comes to how much - or how little - to spend on their nuptials. Every couple goes through it and now there is a perfect way to hash out an ideal budget for the big day. In TLC's brand-new series I WANT THAT WEDDING, premiering Saturday, June 9 at 9/8c, experienced wedding planners take their newly engaged clients to three different weddings: one that is equivalent to what the bride wants to spend, one at the groom's price point and one in-between. The twist, however, is that the couple won't know the cost of these weddings until the end of the experiment - and viewers will play along at home as they try to guess what things cost and which wedding most inspired each couple. When it's all said and done, the couples will agree on a budget and finally be able to declare I WANT THAT WEDDING!

Brock Akil serves as showrunner on the series, which she and Akil created and executive produce through their company Akil Productions, in association with Warner Horizon Scripted Television. Set primarily in 1990's Los Angeles against the backdrop of Black Hollywood, "Love Is__" follows Nuri (Michele Weaver) and Yasir (Will Catlett), a couple from seemingly opposite worlds, as they chase their dreams and learn to follow their hearts. Told from the perspective of the couple's present-day selves, the romantic drama also revisits the social issues and vibrant black culture of that time reflecting on how it all aligned to shape the couple they have become nearly 20 years later -- a power couple navigating a complex set of social codes while also balancing successful careers and a beautiful family. Drawing inspiration from creators Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil's own relationship journey, the series explores the highs, the lows, and the magic of falling (and staying) in love. The cast includes series regulars Michele Weaver ("Illicit") as 'Nuri,' a bubbly personality with big dreams who is struggling to make a name for herself as a sitcom staff writer while juggling an assortment of romances that only leave her partly fulfilled; Will Catlett ("Black Lightning") as 'Yasir,' an aspiring writer/director who is down to his last two unemployment checks and lives (unhappily) with his on-and-off again ex 'Ruby,' played by Yootha Wong-Loi-Sing ("Alles Voor Elkaar"). Tyrone Marshall Brown ("Bull") portrays 'Sean,' Yasir's opinionated friend who possesses great taste and is full of ideas but lacks follow through; and Idara Victor ("Mad Men") stars as 'Angela,' a member of the same writing staff with Nuri who doesn't always agree with everything Nuri says, mainly because she is a disgruntled drama writer stuck in a comedy she doesn't believe in. TV veteran Kadeem Hardison ("A Different World") is 'Norman,' the executive producer of the hit sit-com "Marvin" and tough boss of Nuri and Angela who is hard to impress and even harder to amuse; Clarke Peters ("The Wire") portrays present day 'Wiser Yasir,' handsome, still-confident and Nuri's husband of many years; and Wendy Davis ("Army Wives") is 'Wiser Nuri,' who is a more relaxed, happy, and comfortable version of herself both in life and in her marriage to Yasir.
YELLOWSTONE (PARAMOUNT)
· [series premiere] · 6/20/18 at 9:00 PM
· [regularly airs] · wednesdays from 9:00 PM-10:00 PM EST
(from Paramount Network's press release, January 2018) Yellowstone," Paramount Network's new epic scripted dramatic series, will premiere on the network, Wednesday, June 20 at 9:00 pm, ET/PT. Starring world-renowned actor and Oscar(R)-winner Kevin Costner, who serves in the lead role, "Yellowstone" is written and directed by critically-acclaimed, Oscar(R)-nominated screenwriter Taylor Sheridan (Wind River, Hell or High Water and Sicario). Sheridan recently won Best Director Un Certain Regard at the Cannes Film Festival for the universally-lauded film, Wind River. The impressive cast list for "Yellowstone" includes Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Dave Annable, Danny Huston, Gil Birmingham, Josh Lucas, Jefferson White, Gretchen Mol, Jill Hennessey, Patrick St. Esprit, Ian Bohen, Heather Hemmons, and Denim Richards. In "Yellowstone," Costner stars as John Dutton, who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States, under constant attack by those it borders - land developers, an Indian reservation, and America's first National Park. It is an intense study of a violent world far from media scrutiny - where land grabs make developers billions, and politicians are bought and sold by the world's largest oil and lumber corporations. Where drinking water poisoned by fracking wells and unsolved murders are not news: they are a consequence of living in the new frontier. It is the best and worst of America seen through the eyes of a family that represents both.
