FETV's Sunday Mystery Matinee Block; Glen Powell Is Chad Powers for Hulu Comedy

FETV (Family Entertainment Television), home to beloved and timeless television series and movies carried across cable, satellite, and virtual platforms, announced that the "Sunday Mystery Matinee" will join the network's programming lineup beginning Sunday, September 8. The weekly special will debut with the Cagney & Lacey reunion movies, all four of which star Emmy winners Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly reprising their iconic roles, for the month of September before segueing to the 1980s series The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

The four Cagney & Lacey television movies all feature Sharon Gless as Christine Cagney and Tyne Daly as Mary Beth Lacey, reprising their roles from the original series. Released in the mid 1990s, the television films follow Cagney and Lacey as they reunite working as special investigators for the District Attorney's office. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1984-85) stars Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and David Burke as Dr. John Watson. Originally broadcast on ITV in Britain, Sherlock Holmes episodes feature adaptations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous stories, including "The Adventure of Copper Beeches" and "The Red-Headed League".
