TV Land's 5 Nights of Friends Marathon; WE tv Gets Second Scripted Series
We hinted that there would be a TV Land stunt starting May 31 and now we can reveal what it is! TV Land will present a 5 night Friends marathon from 6pm-6am from Saturday, May 31 to Wednesday, June 4. It will air all night on these five nights except from 10pm-12am and 1-2am on Wednesday, June 4, due to a new episode of Hot in Cleveland and the series premiere of Jennifer Falls. Encores of both shows will air multiple times that night. The Friends marathon is a promotional platform for the series premiere of TV Land's first single-camera comedy, Jennifer Falls, starring Jaime Pressly (My Name is Earl). Each night of the Friends marathon on TV Land will feature memorable episodes involving the ensemble of Joey, Monica, Chandler, Ross, Phoebe and Rachel. The series won't rejoin the regular schedule though, as it will still remain on sister network Nick at Nite. Stay with us for continued updates on Friends and TV Land.
WE tv announced that it has greenlit the scripted thriller, South of Hell, from Sonar Entertainment and Blumhouse Television. South of Hell is a gripping supernatural thriller set in Savannah, GA and focused on Maria Abascal, a demon hunter whose power stems from within. The premiere episode will be directed by Eli Roth (Hostel, Hemlock Grove, The Green Inferno). WE tv has ordered eight, 60-minute episodes of South of Hell and plans a 2015 premiere. Savannah, Georgia is an elusive city with many faces and the perfect home for Maria Abascal, a stunning, 30-year-old demon-hunter-for-hire. Alongside her brother, David, she is skilled and fearless in her pursuit of the demons that live in others. Like those that she hunts, Maria is divided within herself, struggling with her own demon, Abigail, who resides inside of her, feeding on the evil Maria exorcises from others. Maria and Abigail share a soul and a destiny, but as Maria desperately tries to overtake Abigail, she will discover how far Abigail will go to remain a part of her.
Their first scripted series, The Divide, a scripted crime drama, will debut Wednesday, July 16 at 9 pm ET/PT with a special two-hour premiere. The Divide is a thought-provoking and suspenseful drama that explores the personal cost of morality, ambition, ethics, politics, and race in today's justice system through the eyes of Christine Rosa played by Marin Ireland (Homeland, Boss), an impassioned caseworker with The Innocence Initiative, and Adam Page played by Damon Gupton (The Newsroom, Prime Suspect), an equally passionate district attorney and political rising star.
