Graff is also an executive producer alongside Theresa Park and Sparks, for Nicholas Sparks Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. The Notebook was made into a hit feature film in 2004.
COMING UP
The Weather Channel is marking the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina with a week of cross-platform programming August 24-28.

Kendrick Lamar will be Stephen Colbert‘s first musical guest when Colbert slides into the chair at The Late Show on September 8. Colbert said at TCA it was fitting for Lamar to kick off the new show since the rapper was his last musical guest on The Colbert Report.
Showtime is stepping up its presence in the documentary field, CEO David Nevins announced at TCA. On the slate for late 2015 are docs about Marlon Brando, Jimi Hendrix, Barney Frank and Warren Jeffs, as well as in-depth interviews with all 12 living CIA directors Additionally, New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz’s rags to riches story will be the subject of I Am Giant: Victor Cruz, a Showtime Sports original film set to premiere this fall. The network will also debut rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight’s story American Dream/American Knightmare on September 26 at 9p.

RETURNING SERIES
TNT renewed action-adventurer The Last Ship for a third season. Season two of the series, basic cable’s top scripted summer series among A25-54, according to Nielsen data, wraps September 6.
The CW is standing behind unscripted series Penn & Teller: Fool Us and Whose Line Is It Anyway? Following strong runs this summer, both are getting renewed for 2016.
New challenges and opportunities for Buddy Valastro are baked into the seventh season of Cake Boss, which will return to TLC with a two-hour event Tuesday, September 7 at 8p.
Showtime has picked up dramas Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex for fourth seasons. Both head into production in 2016 with 12-episdoe orders.
CASTING
Country artist Jennifer Nettles, Gerald McRaney and Ricky Schroder have joined the cast of NBC’s upcoming TV movie Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors. Based on the story of Parton’s upbringing in the Great Smokey Mountains, the movie was written by Pamela K. Long, who exec-produces with Sam Haskell and Parton.
Matt Ryan will reprise the role of John Constantine on an episode of The CW’s Arrow. Ryan played the character on NBC’s canceled Constantine. “It will be a well-deserved tip of the hat to all the Constantine fans who were so incredibly supportive of that series," said Arrow exec producer Marc Guggenheim. Constantine was produced by Warner Bros., co-owner of The CW. Season four of Arrow premieres Wednesday, October 7 at 8p.
Britney Spears will make a guest appearance in an upcoming episode of Jane The Virgin on The CW. The “Oops!…I Did It Again” singer’s role is still under wraps. Season two of Jane launches Monday, October 12 at 9p.
ADVERTISING
What do advertisers need to do to catch viewers’ attention? “Linear TV advertising needs to break its own conventions,” advises Linda Ong, CEO of TruthCo., which recently released a study, The New World of Advertising. “Culturally, the advertisers that don’t abide by traditional :30 conventions thrive,” Ong tells Cynopsis. “Emergent brands use self-awareness as a marketing tool, leveraging expectations by intentionally subverting them, creating a shock that makes a lasting impression that the brand gets credit for. The recent ‘Unskippable’ GEICO spots are a terrific example of this. Instead of solely being content interruptors, they are content creators and co-conspirators, winking at the audience by playing with both style and form. Getting everyone talking is the first step today in creating awareness and ultimately, action. By the way, this holds for promos as well.”
DISTRIBUTION & CARRIAGE
Ovation acquired U.S. premiere rights to Seasons 1 and 2 of U.K. competition series Portrait Artist of the Year from Zodiak Rights. The series will premiere on Ovation on October 18.
AT&T expanded its streaming option to include DirecTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket for those who are unable to put a satellite dish on their residence (apartment, college dorm, etc.) but want to subscribe to the service offered by the satellite company. AT&T purchased DirecTV in July.
