Logo Adds Living Single, NewsRadio; Lisa Bonet Heads to Sundance Channel Series
Logo has added '90s sitcom Living Single to its line-up. The series is mainly airing on weekend mornings starting at 8am but is also airing in Friday late nights starting at 1am after Will & Grace. The series didn't last long on MTV2 but now is on sister network Logo. There is no real set time for Living Single on Logo, so keep checking your listings. Living Single joins The Golden Girls, Roseanne and Will & Grace as the network's off-network sitcoms. But wait there's more! Logo will be adding NewsRadio to its line-up in a few weeks beginning the week of Dec. 16. It will be only airing a few times a week, mainly as filler, at 3:30am on some nights. As of now, that's all for that show but we'll keep you up-to-date as always. Stay with us!
Sundance Channel announced that actress Lisa Bonet will guest star in a multi-episode arc in the network's new scripted drama The Red Road, slated to premiere in early 2014. Bonet plays the role of Sky Van Der Veen, a Lenape Native American lawyer who has come back to her hometown of Walpole, NJ to rally for justice after a terrible crime has been committed against a member of her tribe. Bonet, best known for her previous role as Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show, and A Different World, as well as parts in the films High Fidelity and Enemy of the State, joins previously announced cast members of The Red Road including Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones), Martin Henderson (The Ring), Julianne Nicholson (Boardwalk Empire), Tamara Tunie, Annalise Basso , Allie Gonino, Kiowa Gordon and Golden Globe® nominee Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor, Heat). The series recently wrapped filming near Atlanta, GA. The Red Road is a hard-hitting drama that revolves around a local cop (Henderson) struggling to keep his family together while simultaneously policing two clashing communities: the small town where he grew up and the neighboring mountains, home of a Native American tribe. After a terrible tragedy and cover-up occurs involving the cop's wife (Nicholson), an unholy alliance is forged between the cop and Phillip Kopus (Momoa), a dangerous member of the tribe that will come back to haunt all involved. As was previously announced, The Red Road has been picked up for six one-hour episodes and hails from acclaimed writer Aaron Guzikowski (Contraband, Prisoners) and veteran producer Sarah Condon (Bored to Death). The series will be executive produced by Guzikowski, Condon, and Bridget Carpenter. Award winning director James Gray directed the first episode. The Red Road is Sundance Channel's second wholly owned original scripted series; its first was the acclaimed Rectify, which returns for a second season in 2014.
