The Code will have a special premiere on Tuesday, April 9 at 9:00PM, ET/PT (the night after the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship) before it moves into its regular Monday time period on April 15 at 9:00PM, ET/PT), after Magnum P.I. completes its season order.The Code is a drama about the military's brightest minds who take on our country's toughest legal challenges, inside the courtroom and out, in the only law office in the world where every attorney is trained as a prosecutor, a defense lawyer, an investigator - and a Marine. In addition, Ransom returns for its third season on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 8:00PM, ET/PT. Ransom follows crisis and hostage negotiator Eric Beaumont and his team as they save lives when no one else can. The season premieres of Elementary and Instinct will be announced at a later date.
