The CW Network announced its slate of upcoming holiday specials, including the new specials Greatest Holiday Commercials Countdown 2018, Greatest Holiday Video Countdown, both airing Tuesday, December 18 and Popstar's Best Of 2018 airing Friday, December 28 (9:00-10:00pm ET). On Friday, November 23 (8:00-9:00pm ET), the one-hour special Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer returns to The CW. Based on the hit song that became a worldwide holiday phenomenon, this goofy and heartwarming adventure features young Jake Spankenheimer on the quest of a lifetime to track his missing Grandma down on Christmas Eve to prove that Santa Claus is indeed real. Michele Lee (Knots Landing) provides the voice of Jake's greedy Cousin Mel and recording artist Elmo Shropshire provides the narration. An encore presentation of Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer will air on Wednesday, December 19 (8:00-9:00pm ET).
The 87th Annual Hollywood Christmas Parade will air on Friday, December 14, (8:00-10:00pm ET), with Nancy O'Dell serving as Grand Marshal. The "Largest Christmas Celebration in America" will be hosted by popular personalities Erik Estrada, Laura McKenzie, Dean Cain and Montel Williams, with special co-hosts Elizabeth Stanton and Garrett Clayton.
Freeform announced that Good Trouble, the highly anticipated spin-off of the groundbreaking family drama The Fosters, will premiere on Tuesday, Jan. 8. The pilot, executive produced and directed by Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians), follows Callie (Maia Mitchell) and Mariana (Cierra Ramirez) as they embark on the next phase of their young adult lives in Los Angeles, as Mariana tackles the male-dominated world of tech and Callie faces the harsh realities of the federal legal system clerking for a federal judge. After moving to The Coterie in Downtown Los Angeles, Callie and Mariana realize that living on their own is not all that it's cracked up to be. Faced with new neighbors, new challenges and, of course, new romances, the sisters must depend on one another to navigate the City of Angels. The series also stars Tommy Martinez as Gael, Sherry Cola as Alice, Zuri Adele as Malika, and Roger Bart as Judge Wilson.
