A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM USA NETWORK
WWE AND NBCUNIVERSAL UNVEIL NEW BRAND CAMPAIGN
‘FOR THE HERO IN ALL OF US’

USA Network is a part of the NBCUniversal Entertainment Group
Fox is reviving The X-Files as a six-episode event series. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will reprise their roles as FBI agents Mulder and Scully, and Chris Carter, creator of the 1993-2002 supernatural drama, returns as exec producer. “I think of it as a 13-year commercial break,” said Carter. “The good news is the world has only gotten that much stranger, a perfect time to tell these six stories.” Production starts this summer.
IN THE NEWS
ABC Family is getting an assist from fans for the season six marketing campaign for Pretty Little Liars. Viewers of the hit series, which wrapped season five last night, can go to PrettyLittleCampaign.com to vote on different marketing efforts, including key art, and create promos and gifs for use in the social space. “We want our promos and ads to be where the fans are, so the best way to make that happen is to ask them,” said Nigel Cox-Hagan, SVP, marketing, creative and branding.
Fox filed a trademark lawsuit against Empire Distribution, an indie record label it says demanded $8 million in damages (discounted to $5 million if the freshman smash featured their artists) on the grounds the show’s portrayal of “a label run by a homophobic drug dealer prone to murdering his friends” hurts their brand. Fox lawyers note the label doesn’t turn up in a Google search until page 7, the company didn’t apply for a federal trademark for the name, and “it is illogical that anyone would equate a small, independent record label in San Francisco, California with a completely fictional music and lifestyle conglomerate on television.”
A+E Networks inked a content deal with new premium video service Vessel, offering early access to short-form videos from A&E, FYI, History and Lifetime. Videos are available exclusively to Vessel members for 72 hours and then available and shareable for free on Vessel; creators can publish them anywhere else they have a presence on the web. “Our content has proven successful through multiple platforms including TV Everywhere mobile apps, OTT apps and online, so bringing A+E content to Vessel is a perfect way to satisfy our consumers’ demands while continuing to make our programming more accessible,” said Dan Suratt, EVP, digital media, brand and content licensing.
Arts net Ovation launched a multi-platform artist community linking YouTube creators to the network. “Targeted distribution and promotion to arts-loving viewers is where we excel,” said VP Stephen Dypiangco, who’s overseeing the venture. “We will actively spotlight our channel partners on Ovation shows, invite them to host programs, and source their talents for new original programming.”
A pre-taped sketch Monday night explaining how James Corden landed the job of CBS’s Late Late Show host (think Willy Wonka) included A-listers from Jay Leno to Meryl Streep. The show delivered 1.66 million total viewers, up 13 percent versus September-December averages, and up 33 percent among A18-49 (.4). Does Corden have what it takes to keep the momentum going? Let us know in the new Cynopsis poll.

PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT
Showtime picked up 12 eps of Billions, starring Paul Giamatti (12 Years a Slave) and Damian Lewis (Homeland) as a hard-charging U.S. Attorney and a hedge fund king. Series written and exec produced by Brian Koppelman and David Levien (Ocean’s Thirteen) and Andrew Ross Sorkin (Too Big to Fail) begins production in New York later this year for a 2016 premiere.
The cutthroat world of sports agents is the focus of 10-part documentary series The Agent, greenlit by Esquire for a July 2015 premiere. Mark Herzog and Christopher G. Cowen from Herzog & Company (The Sixties) exec produce with Vincent DiPersio and Josh Mamann.
TV One is beginning production on For My Man, a one-hour true crime series about horrendous things women have done in the name of love. But the net’s not just going for shock value. “Crime and justice storytelling is of particular interest to the Black community as they are disproportionally impacted,” said D’Angela Proctor, SVP original programming and production. “We are living in a time where women are among the fastest growing population in prison and we feel it’s important to make their stories known as both a cautionary tale and as a look into the mind of women who are essentially destroyed by love and obsession.” Sirens Media production joins the net’s Monday prime slate in late summer.
ABC Family continues its expansion into comedy with a pickup of Kevin From Work, about a young man in love with his co-worker. “Single camera represents the evolution of our comedy brand,” said Karey Burke, EVP, programming & development. Created and exec produced by Barbie Adler (How I Met Your Mother), series begins production in June for a summer premiere.
Producer Rachel Winter (Dallas Buyers Club) signed a first-look development deal with A+E Studios. Under the pact, which covers scripted drama television, Winter will work with the A+E Studios team to develop, create and produce original programming for the A+E portfolio of networks including A&E, Lifetime and History, as well as other networks.
TLC ordered a second helping of Leah Remini: It’s All Relative. Reality show from Gurney Productions, following the King of Queens alum and her family, starts filming this month for a summer premiere.
COMING UP
The knives come out when memorable contestants return for Cutthroat Kitchen: Evilicious, launching on Food Network Sunday, April 19 at 10p. Host Alton Brown kicks things off by making the chefs prepare fish stew…in a canoe.
A tough-as-nails prosecutor and a dogged defense attorney attack tricky murder trials in ID crime series, Did He Do It?. “With two of the best lawyers in the world presenting their respective sides of the case, viewers will be able to view the evidence from the unique perspectives of both the prosecution and the defense,” said Kevin Bennett, net GM. Six-parter debuts Thursday, April 2 at 10p.
Safe Haven: Gun-Free Zones in America, hosted by Katie Pavlich, Townhall news editor, Fox News contributor and NY Times best-selling author, offers a take on the controversial topic of gun-free zones and their effect on crime prevention. And Pavlich isn’t shy about her point of view. “For decades we’ve been taught to believe gun-free zones are gun free. We’ve also been told gun free zones are safe. Neither one of those things are true,” she tells Cynopsis. “Working with Outdoor Channel on this documentary, complete with top notch research and interviews with experts, has made one thing very clear: Gun free zones are dangerous, not Safe Havens.” Doc airs on Outdoor Wednesday, April 1 at 4:30p.
Tribune multicast broadcast net Antenna TV celebrates April Fool’s Day with a 27-hour marathon, Fumbling Fools: Three Stooges. Yuks start at 12a.
