Ovation TV Acquires Hart to Hart; MC Lyte Sitcom Premieres on ALLBLK
Ovation TV, America's only arts network, has acquired the non-exclusive U.S. linear and AVOD rights for classic mystery series Hart to Hart from Sony Pictures Entertainment. The deal includes five seasons (110x60') of the series as well as eight made-for-television movies (8x90'). The network will begin airing the series, starring Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers, on Wednesday, November 17 at 7pm ET. Episodes will air back-to-back in four-hour blocks.
Hart to Hart stars Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers as Jonathan and Jennifer Hart, a wealthy couple who lead a glamorous jet set lifestyle and regularly find themselves working as un-paid detectives in order to solve crimes in which they become embroiled. The series was created by novelist and television writer Sidney Sheldon (The Patty Duke Show, I Dream of Jeannie). Developed by Tom Mankiewicz (Live and Let Die, Superman: The Movie), the series was executive produced by the legendary Aaron Spelling (Dynasty, Beverly Hills, 90210) and Leonard Goldberg (Fantasy Island, Blue Bloods).
Trailblazing rap legend MC Lyte teams up with Bentley Kyle Evans (Martin, The Jamie Foxx Show), for the hilarious new multi-camera sitcom, Partners in Rhyme. The seven-episode original will premiere weekly beginning Thursday, November 18 on popular AMC Networks' streamer, ALLBLK. It's old school versus new school in this comical look at the record industry through the eyes of a female hip-hop icon and her young protégé. Starring MC Lyte and directed by Evans, the light-hearted, half-hour sitcom follows the life of rap pioneer, Lana Crawford (MC Lyte). When Lana discovers she is being dropped as an artist from her label and in massive debt, The OG rap star is propositioned into managing her niece Lucious T (Precious Way, ABC's Queens)... an up and coming Instagram rapper. Generations collide as Lana and Luscious T try to find their footing, working, and living under the same roof. Lana's feisty best friend and personal assistant, Victoria "Vicky" Sims (Cloie Wyatt Taylor); Mekhai Crawford (Ron G., Insecure, Key & Peele) her younger, freeloading brother; High-power label executive and mastermind behind the new dynamic duo, Hazel Wilson (Rolanda Watts) and trusted recording engineer Boston Jacobs (Wesley Jonathan, Monogamy), are all on hand, to help this legend raise a star!
