(from ABC's press release, April 2020) Executive produced by Ryan Reynolds and hosted by Adam Scott ("Big Little Lies"), "Don't" is a comedic physical game show where doing nothing is what it takes to win (finally!). Contestants are given the opportunity to team up with their family and friends for the chance to win a cash prize of up to $100,000 by tackling hilarious tasks, each with the simple rule: "DON'T." From Banijay Studios North America, ABC's newest summer game show premieres THURSDAY, JUNE 11 (9:00-10:00 p.m. EDT). "I'm excited for people to see 'Don't' and feel we made the right call in changing what was the working title: 'Please Do Not,'" said Adam Scott. In each episode, members of a four-person team strive to accomplish various challenges, such as "Don't Blink," "Don't Look Back" and "Don't Play Ball in the House," as they work together to build their bank. If they fail a challenge, they don't earn money and suffer ridiculous consequences. Along the way, they'll have the choice to take risks by pushing the Don't Push Button or taking a chance on a Don't You Dare, You. In the end, whatever money they have left in their bank - if anything - is theirs to keep. The series is voiced by Ryan Reynolds and features hilarious, unexpected moments that break from the traditional game show format. |
DESIGN AT YOUR DOOR (HGTV) · [series premiere] · 6/11/20 at 9:00 PM · [regularly airs] · thursdays from 9:00 PM-10:00 PM EST |
(from HGTV's press release, May 2020) Sixteen homeowners who are ready to try their hand at do-it-yourself design will receive the virtual help they need from HGTV stars - and a box of specially curated décor elements - in the first, fully self-shot series from HGTV, Design At Your Door. Premiering with back-to-back episodes on Thursday, June 11, at 9 and 9:30 p.m. ET/PT, the series will follow families from all walks of life, including first responders and other essential front line workers, as they receive coaching and a customized design plan that they can quickly make a reality. Boxes of surprises, delivered to the homeowner's doorstep, could include anything from paint and pillows to wallpaper, headboards and sofas. Participating HGTV experts in the series include: David Bromstad (My Lottery Dream Home), Tiffany Brooks (HGTV Smart Home 2020), Tamara Day (Bargain Mansions), Dave and Jenny Marrs (Fixer to Fabulous), Maureen McCormick (A Very Brady Renovation), Grace Mitchell (One of a Kind), Eve Plumb (A Very Brady Renovation), Orlando Soria (Build Me Up) and Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab). While documenting their design process every step of the way, the homeowners will complete such projects as converting a forgotten storage area into a playroom and upgrading a bonus space into a home office and media room. "In Design At Your Door," our home renovation stars are faced with a unique challenge - designing a space they'll never see in person and virtually coaching novices to express a personalized design vision," said Jane Latman, president, HGTV. "Once the homeowners open their design boxes, it's game on as they unleash their creativity and get that makeover done without outside hands-on assistance." Throughout the season, eager homeowners will follow the expert's advice to make over their spaces one step at a time - from overhauling a boring kid's bedroom to transforming an unused screened porch into a functional homework space. The families include a firefighter, an ER nurse, a cafeteria worker and several parents who are simultaneously remote working and homeschooling their children. Now the families must navigate the added challenges of spouses working together on home projects, kids acting as camera operators and pets vying for attention. "These families are brave enough to take on projects that traditionally would be accomplished by a full design team with a camera crew on-site, but their creativity and heart are exactly what makes Design At Your Door such a fun show to watch," said Latman. |

This series gives voice to the survivors and their families, documenting an era when sex crimes were often dismissed or hidden in shame. A timely inquiry into our macabre preoccupation with true crime and a cautionary tale of the dangerous lure of addiction, the series is a riveting meditation on obsession and loss, chronicling the unrelenting path of a mysterious killer and the fierce determination of one woman to bring the case to light. |

(from Acorn TV's press release, May 2020) In the beautiful Danish coastal town of Helsingør, Detective Chief inspector Dan Sommerdahl (Peter Mygind, Flame and Citron) is the undisputed hero at North Sjælland Police. But while he can look back at a remarkable history of solved homicides, things aren’t going as well at home with his wife, Chief Criminal Technician, Marianne Sommerdahl (Laura Drasbæk, Pusher), who feels neglected and distant from her husband. When the body of a young woman washes up on a beach, Dan and his best friend and colleague, Detective Flemming Torp (André Babikian, The Protectors), quickly determine this wasn’t an accident, and they are in hot pursuit to find the murderer and the baby the female victim had just given birth to. At the same time, when Dan finds out that his best friend is in love with his wife and the admiration is mutual on the wife’s end, these new dynamics put these relationships to the test, under the stress of trying to solve new murders and keep the city safe.
