MeTV Network Adds The A-Team for The Summer of Me; HBO Max Renews Two Comedies for Season 2

This summer, MeTV is adding some action to its weeknight line-up! 80's blockbuster The A-Team is joining the schedule and airing weeknights at 6pm starting Memorial Day - Monday, May 30. It will replace The Addams Family and Happy Days, which are off the regular line-up. The only other change to the line-up is on Sundays. A new five-hour block titled "The Summer of MeTV Sunday Block Party" where a different show will be showcased every week on Sunday afternoons from noon to 5PM eastern starting Sunday, June 5. No details yet on which shows will pop up all summer long, but from the hints in the promo below, we may see series like The Monkees, Mama's Family, I Love Lucy, Cheers, Laverne & Shirley and Gidget pop up. That's fun as none of those series are on the current regular line-up! As a result of the new Sunday Block Party block, Full House will move to Sundays at 5:00pm & 5:30pm replacing The Love Boat. View and discuss the 2022 The Summer of Me line-up.

The Minx & Julia

HBO Max has renewed the comedy series Minx for a second season. The first season, from creator and showrunner Ellen Rapoport, Feigco Entertainment and Lionsgate Television, debuted in March on HBO Max and topped Esquire's list of "Best TV Shows of 2022 (Thus Far)." All ten episodes are available on HBO Max. Minx is set in 1970s Los Angeles and centers around Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond), an earnest young feminist who joins forces with a low-rent publisher (Jake Johnson) to create the first erotic magazine for women. Season One Cast: Ophelia Lovibond, Jake Johnson, Idara Victor, Jessica Lowe, Lennon Parham, Michael Angarano and Oscar Montoya.

HBO Max has renewed the comedy series Julia for a second season. The series, which debuted March 31 on HBO Max, concludes its first season on May 5. Julia is inspired by Julia Child's extraordinary life and her long-running television series, The French Chef, which pioneered the modern cooking show. Through Julia’s life and her singular joie de vivre, the series explores a pivotal time in American history – the emergence of public television as a new social institution, feminism and the women’s movement, the nature of celebrity and America’s cultural evolution. At its heart, the series is a portrait of a loving marriage with a shifting power dynamic. Season One Cast: Sarah Lancashire as Julia, David Hyde Pierce, Bebe Neuwirth, Brittany Bradford, Fran Kranz and Fiona Glascott. Guest stars included Isabella Rossellini, Judith Light, Robert Joy, Erin Neufer, Jefferson Mays, James Cromwell and Adriane Lenox.
