| (from The CW's press release, May 2018) Murphy is a hard-living, hard-drinking, disaffected twentysomething with a penchant for cigarettes and casual sex. She's also blind. Murphy lives with her understanding roommate, Jess, and more reluctantly also lives with her guide dog, Pretzel, whose presence she resents. Her parents, Hank and Joy, own a guide dog school, a venture they opened hoping it would give Murphy a job with some purpose, but so far it's just another place where she sleeps off her hangovers, much to the particular chagrin of Joy and Felix, the school administrator tasked with attempting to keep the unprofitable school going. Murphy's closest friend is a sweet teenager named Tyson. Tyson and Murphy became friends after he saved her from a violent mugging, and his kindness and intelligence are currently going to waste as he deals drugs on the street for his older cousin, Darnell. Then Murphy's life comes crashing down when, while out for a walk with Pretzel, she stumbles upon what she's sure is the lifeless body of Tyson in the alley outside her apartment. But when the police arrive, including a charming detective named Dean, there is no body to be found - and with Murphy not exactly sober, the police aren't especially inclined to investigate. Murphy is devastated, and is only held back from spiraling downward even further by her resolve to learn what happened to Tyson. With the help of Jess - and Pretzel - Murphy is determined to find the truth, no matter the risk... even if it means she has to sober up a little. IN THE DARK stars Perry Mattfeld, Brooke Markham, Keston John, Kathleen York, Derek Webster and Morgan Krantz. IN THE DARK is from CBS Television Studios and Warner Bros. Television, in association with Red Hour Films, with executive producers Corinne Kingsbury, Jon Collier ("Bones"), Ben Stiller ("Zoolander"), Jackie Cohn, Nicky Weinstock and Michael Showalter ("The Big Sick"). |

| (from Hallmark Channel's press release, March 2019) Hallmark Channel announces the 263rd installment of the revered Hallmark Hall of Fame, "Love Takes Flight," starring Nikki DeLoach ("Reunited At Christmas," "Truly, Madly, Sweetly") and Jeff Hephner ("Chicago Fire," "Chicago Med") will have its World Premiere on the network, Saturday, April 27 (8 p.m. ET/PT, 7C). Hallmark Hall of Fame, first broadcast in December 1951, is still the longest-running and most award-winning series in the history of television. In "Love Takes Flight," Dr. Lizzie Beauman (DeLoach) is a single mother and hospital administrator determined to attract enough world-class doctors and treatment options to make her hospital successful enough to build a wing for patients' families to be able to stay together while healing. Lizzie's five-year old daughter, Quinn, suffers from an insulin disorder and Lizzie knows the demands on working families who have a sick loved one to care for. Lizzie has spent years doing her best construction building walls around her own expectations: no fun and no spontaneity here as the best-lived lives are created through discipline and order. But all that changes when new EMS pilot Charley Allen (Hephner) comes into Lizzie and Quinn's lives. Charley challenges the constrictions Lizzie places on herself, especially, her fear of flying. And Charley learns something from Lizzie about the patience it takes to nurture relationships, especially between Charley and his dad whose relationship has been strained since his mom passed away. The day comes when Charley and Lizzie must come together as a team, each performing at the highest skill level to save a transplant patient. In the process, Lizzie and Charley may be able to heal themselves and their loved ones. |

| (from Smithsonian Channel's press release, March 2019) Smithsonian Channel is delving deep into innovations that changed the world with INSIDE MIGHTY MACHINES. Hosted by ex-NASA jet engineer Chad Zdenek, the new six-part series scrapes away the grease and chisels through the rust to reveal the remarkable engineering principles that make great machines run. Working alongside salvage teams as they take these giants apart piece by piece - from a 747 jumbo jet to an oil rig in the North Sea - Zdenek gets a final chance to figure out how they were built and how they worked. Along the way, he explores the impact of each invention and how it changed history. INSIDE MIGHTY MACHINES premieres Sunday, April 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Smithsonian Channel. "It's been a privilege to get up close and personal with these extraordinary mega machines to see what makes them tick," says Zdenek. "From the gravity-defying hovercraft to the behemoth Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, we're taking viewers under the hood of the most impressive engineering feats in the modern era of mechanics." |
| KIDS BEHIND BARS: LIFE OR PAROLE (A&E) · [series premiere] · 4/30/19 at 10:00 PM · [regularly airs] · tuesdays from 10:00 PM-11:00 PM EST |
| (from A&E's press release, March 2019) A&E Network's new, raw eight-part original docuseries KIDS BEHIND BARS: LIFE OR PAROLE tells the individual stories of eight previously convicted child offenders sentenced to mandatory life terms without parole who are now seeking resentencing on the heels of the recent 2012 Miller v. Alabama case which ruled mandatory life terms for juveniles was a violation of the 8th Amendment. While some may be resentenced to life, others could be immediately released or given a new sentence that makes them eligible for parole. The focus of the series will be split between the facts of these brutal crimes combined with new evidence that has come to light and the real-time updates regarding potential releases, parole hearings, and resentencing as they currently unfold as well as the painful and emotional impact on the victims' loved ones. Each episode will include exclusive interviews from the convicted offenders directly from prison. What happens when kids commit horrific crimes? This series tackles controversial questions from multiple perspectives including leading psychologists and experts in the field along with local media, law enforcement and those closest to these cases as they explore the dark complexity of the repercussions when kids kill and the painful lifelong effects for those involved on both sides. |
