Grand Hotel

Building on the previous success of the "Summer Fun & Games" brand, The ABC Television Network is expanding its slate of game shows and competition series to three nights, adding four new exciting series to the upcoming schedule. In addition to bringing back the iconic game shows Press Your Luck and Card Sharks to TV, ABC will launch two new alternative shows – Holey Moley, an epic mini-golf competition featuring NBA superstar Stephen Curry as resident golf pro; and Family Food Fight, hosted by renowned restaurateur and New York Times best-selling cookbook author Ayesha Curry (wife of Steph Curry). All of these shows are part of the summer premiere dates schedule announced by the network.

On the scripted drama side, the new series Reef Break, starring Poppy Montgomery, will premiere Thursday, June 20 at 10:00 p.m. EDT. And don't forget to make reservations for Grand Hotel, the glamorous and provocative new series from executive producer Eva Longoria, premiering Monday, June 17 at 10:00 p.m. EDT. Also as previously announced, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. returns Friday, May 10 at 8:00 p.m. EDT. Fans of The Bachelor franchise will have a date every Monday night this summer, starting with the previously announced Bachelorette Reunion: The Biggest Bachelorette Reunion in Bachelor History Ever!, airing Monday, May 6 from 8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT, and The Bachelorette, premiering the following week, Monday, May 13 from 8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT. Once Hannah B.'s journey ends, another one begins on the beaches of Mexico when the highly anticipated Bachelor in Paradise debuts Monday, July 29 from 8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT.

Celebrity Family Feud, The $100,000 Pyramid and To Tell the Truth return Sunday, June 9 from 8:00-11:00 p.m. EDT; and Match Game returns, following the premieres of Press Your Luck and Card Sharks on Wednesday, June 12 from 8:00-11:00 p.m. EDT.

A full schedule will be announced at a later date but it will include comedies such as Modern Family, The Goldbergs, black-ish and more.


Barry

Following its recent second-season premiere, HBO has renewed the hit comedy series Barry for a third season. Created by Alec Berg & Bill Hader, who stars in the title role, Barry launched its eight-episode second season March 31. This season, Barry is attempting to untangle himself from the world of contract killing and fully immerse himself in acting. But while Barry has eliminated many of the external factors that pushed him towards violence, he soon discovers they weren't the only forces at play. What is it about his own psyche that led him to become a killer in the first place? Other Season 2 cast regulars include: Stephen Root as Barry's handler, who is alarmed to contemplate a future without his primary source of income; Sarah Goldberg as a dedicated acting student who becomes the object of Barry's affection; Anthony Carrigan as an unfailingly polite mobster; and Henry Winkler as a pompous yet endearing acting teacher who takes Barry under his wing. Barry received three Emmys(R) for its first season last September: Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Bill Hader); Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Henry Winkler); and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) and Animation.
