getTV Reveals Magnum P.I. Timeslot; Onyx Collective Bringing More Programming to Hulu

As we previously mentioned, Magnum. P.I. is coming to getTV! Now we know the timeslots. The series premieres Monday, February 6 at 6pm and will also air weekends at 10pm. The classic 80's detective series joins the ranks of Walker, Texas Ranger and The Rockford Files, rounding out "prime time is crime time" for the network. Airing for eight seasons, Magnum P.I. follows Tom Selleck's Thomas Magnum, a Navy SEAL turned private investigator living on an estate in Oahu, Hawaii. The show follows Magnum cracking cases, butting heads with his new home’s caretaker Jonathan Quayle Higgins III (John Hillerman), and enjoying his new Hawaiian life. Roger E. Mosley and Larry Manetti round out the central cast.
Onyx Collective (the company that brought us Reasonable Doubt) continues to expand its slate of premium programming by creators of color and underrepresented voices. Original dramedy UnPrisoned, executive produced and starring Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo, is set to premiere March 10 on Hulu, with all episodes streaming at once. From creator Tracy McMillan, the eight-episode series is produced by ABC Signature and will stream exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. The series is a half-hour dramedy about a messy but perfectionist relationship therapist and single mom whose life is turned right-side-up when her dad gets out of prison and moves in with her and her teenage son.
The highly anticipated six-part limited docu-series The 1619 Project, is set to premiere the first two episodes exclusively on Hulu on Jan. 26, with two episodes releasing weekly on Hulu subsequently, as previously announced. Onyx Collective announced the pilot pickup of 1266 (working title), a scripted comedy from 20th Television. The pilot is executive produced by Thembi Banks, Steven Canals, Gabourey Sidibe and Julie Bean, with Jill Kaplan to serve as a non-writing executive producer. Banks and Bean will be co-showrunners. Story by Sidibe and Banks, with Banks writing the teleplay and directing the pilot. Gabby Brixton's (Gabourey Sidibe) life is aimless ― she's living with her mom and making half-hearted attempts to become a singer/model and overnight millionaire. When she's fired from her job ... yet again ... she stumbles upon the gig of a lifetime ― phone sex! What initially seems like a quick way to make money turns into a life-changing experience when she meets the women who become her chosen family and learns how powerful, profitable and prolific her voice can be. The series is inspired by the true-life story of Academy Award nominee Gabourey Sidibe.
