Antenna TV Celebrates The Bewitched Witch-O-Ween Marathon; Avenue 5 Returns October 10 on HBO
Celebrate Halloween with Antenna TV and everyone's favorite TV witch Samantha, plus Darren and Endora of Bewitched. Antenna TV will air "The Bewitched Witch-O-Ween Marathon" on Monday, October 31 starting at 5am ET. Airing in primetime between 7pm and 9:30pm ET will be the series' Halloween episodes including "The Witches Are Out," "Trick Or Treat," "A Safe and Sane Halloween," "To Trick Or Treat" and "The Ghost Who Made A Spectre of Himself." The fantasy sitcom stars Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha Stephens, a witch married to a mortal man. Additional cast members include Dick York "Darrin," Agnes Moorehead "Endora," Erin Murphy "Tabitha Stephens," Marion Lorne "Aunt Clara" and later Dick Sargent "Darrin."
Created by two-time Emmy® winner Armando Iannucci (HBO's Veep), the eight-episode second season of Avenue 5 debuts Monday, October 10 (10:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT) on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. The comedy series is set 40 years in the future when traveling the solar system is no longer the stuff of sci-fi fantasy, but a booming, multibillion-dollar business. Avenue 5 takes us to a not-so-distant future where space tourism is a booming business. While manning a luxury spacecraft owned by Herman Judd (Josh Gad), Captain Ryan Clark (Hugh Laurie) finds himself in over his head when the ship is thrown disastrously off-course – turning what was meant to be an eight-week cruise into an eight-year journey. Picking up five months after failing to reroute the vessel, season two follows the crew – including fiery engineer Billie (Lenora Crichlow), unpredictable head of customer relations Matt (Zach Woods), and faithful right-hand Iris (Suzy Nakamura) – as they struggle to lead, calm, control, and, if need be, hide from increasingly unruly passengers. On earth, they're lauded as heroes, and in space, everyone can hear them scream.
Season two series regulars include Hugh Laurie, Josh Gad, Zach Woods, Rebecca Front, Suzy Nakamura, Lenora Crichlow, Nikki Amuka-Bird and Ethan Phillips. Guest Stars include Andy Buckley, Jessica St. Clair, Kyle Bornheimer, Adam Pålsson, Daisy May Cooper, Lucy Punch, Leila Farzad, Jonathan Aris and Arsher Ali.
