Residents of a quiet south London street are plagued by the mystery of these five simple words in the new drama:

A Four-Night Series Event
Premieres TONIGHT at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT
Only on Pivot, the television network from Participant Media.
IN THE NEWS
A motion filed Friday by the attorney for Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, being sued by former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson for sexual harassment and retaliation, claims Carlson breached her contract by going public. The legal papers point to an arbitration provision in Carlson’s contract that requires “all claims relating to her employment be brought to arbitration,” and that allegations be “held in strict confidence.” Responded Carlson’s attorneys, “Roger Ailes is trying to force this case into a secret arbitration proceeding. Gretchen never agreed to arbitrate anything with Mr. Ailes and the contract on which he relies does not mention him and is not signed by him. Gretchen intends to fight for her right to a public jury trial, a right protected by the discrimination laws and our Constitution.” While 21st Century Fox expressed “full confidence” in Ailes and Carlson’s one-time Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy, also mentioned in the suit, the company said it has started an internal review of the matter.
Syfy canceled Hunters after one season. Series finale of the drama about the fight against alien terrorists, exec produced by Gale Anne Hurd (The Walking Dead), airs tonight at 12a.
NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers will broadcast live on Thursday, July 21, the final night of the Republican National Convention presumably not long after the acceptance speech of Donald Trump. CBS’s Late Show has already announced it is broadcasting live on the nights of both conventions, and HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher is planning special half-hour live episodes. Meyers told the New York Times he’d “very much like” to do a live show after the Democratic convention the following week as well. “Looking back,” said Meyers, noted for his biting comic political commentary, “we should have come up with this whole thing 12 months ago.”
The rise of SVOD is real, but live TV is very much alive, according to Chris Walters, CEO of Encompass, commenting on Nielsen’s Q1 Total Audience Report. “My belief is that live will continue to be the bulk of total viewing minutes for quite some time,” says Walters, noting that consumer behavior shifts “modestly” over time. “SVOD has a increasingly important role to play, however networks play an important role in helping viewers discover great content, aggregating/presenting content that aligns to network brands and making the most valuable content available in the most timely fashion.” Nielsen’s report notes the availability of SVOD programming is now equal to DVR penetration, with both available in 50 percent of U.S. households.
Andy Greenwald has been set to host Hacking Robot, USA’s new Mr. Robot aftershow. Season two of the USA drama launches Wednesday, July 13 at 10p.
The Paley Center for Media will hold PaleyLive LA: An Evening with Ray Donovan on Tuesday, July 26 in Beverly Hills. Stars and producers of the Showtime drama will be on hand for a screening, panel discussion and audience Q&A.
Univision filed a lawsuit against Charter on Friday, accusing the cable operator of using its recent merger with Time Warner Cable to pay lower carriage fees. “Charter insists that the contract Univision had with Time Warner is controlling, rather than its own contract with Univision,” said the net in a statement. “Quite simply, Charter promised one thing publicly in order to secure approval for its acquisition and is now privately claiming the exact opposite to Univision.”
