COZI TV Acquires Married... with Children and The King of Queens; The Penguin, The White Lotus, The Last of Us and More Coming to Max in 2024-2025

COZI TV, NBCUniversal Local's national multicast network that delivers TV's all-time best shows and pop culture favorites, has acquired the digital broadcast rights to a pair of iconic, award-winning comedies from Sony Pictures Television, Married... with Children and The King of Queens, which will join COZI TV's 24-hour lineup Aug. 5 and Sept. 9, respectively. Married... with Children and its acclaimed cast of Ed O’Neill, Katey Sagal, Christina Applegate and David Faustino debuted on COZI TV on Saturday (Aug. 3) with a special eight-hour, 16-episode first-season marathon from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET. The hit series becomes part of COZI TV's regular lineup TODAY - Aug. 5 when it begins its regular four-episode blocks Mondays through Fridays from 4 to 6 p.m. ET.

The King of Queens brings an all-star cast, led by Kevin James and Leah Remini, to COZI TV beginning Sept. 9. The show enters its 27th consecutive season on television as part of COZI TV’s primetime lineup Mondays through Fridays and Sundays, with four episodes airing from 8 to 10 p.m. ET. To celebrate its launch, COZI TV will air an 11-hour marathon Sept. 15, starting at 11 a.m. ET.

Married... with Children centers on the not-so-lovable family of four, the Bundys, a middle-class family in Chicago, and their neighbors, Steve and Marcy Rhoades. One of the longest-running sitcoms in American television history, Married... with Children was a departure from traditional sitcoms of the era due to its offbeat humor, unflinching honesty and unsavory characters, and strained relationships. The first primetime scripted series on the FOX broadcast network, Married... with Children originally aired from 1987 to 1997. Created by Michael G. Moye and Ron Leavitt, the 259-episode series ranked as the network’s top-rated comedy and No. 2 overall program from 1991 to 1997. The show earned a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Television Series, Comedy, in 1991.

The King of Queens follows working-class married couple Doug Heffernan, played by James, an amiable deliveryman, and Carrie Heffernan, a secretary played by Remini, as they navigate daily life with their friends and family in Queens, N.Y. The celebrated cast also features Jerry Stiller as Arthur Spooner, Carrie’s widowed father, and Victor Williams and Patton Oswalt as Doug’s friends. The King of Queens, created by Michael J. Weithorn and David Litt, averaged more than 10 million viewers per episode across nine seasons on CBS from 1998 to 2007. The series won 14 awards during its 207-episode original run, including a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Kevin James), and two People Choice Awards nominations for Favorite TV Comedy.

Max has released a new brand spot featuring footage from highly anticipated HBO and Max Originals coming later this year and in 2025. The spot includes a look at new and returning fan-favorites, such as the third season of HBOs Industry (August 11), the fourth and final season of My Brilliant Friend, and the sports documentary series Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears. New series including the adult animated Max Original Creature Commandos, the first series out of the new DC Universe under James Gunn and Peter Safran, Dune: The Propecy, a six-episode HBO Original drama series from the expansive universe of Dune, and The Penguin, an eight-episode HBO Original and DC Studios limited series, starring Academy Award®-nominated actor Colin Farrell, are all featured.

The spot highlights never-before-seen footage from new HBO Originals including A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, an adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s novella The Hedge Knight, It: Welcome to Derry, the prequel series to the hit films with a story by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti, and Jason Fuchs, the new comedy series The Franchise, from creators Sam Mendes and Armando Iannucci and writer and showrunner Jon Brown, and Wise Guy David and The Sopranos, a two-part documentary from acclaimed filmmaker Alex Gibney that delves deep into renowned director David Chase’s life, career, and creative process into his groundbreaking work on the HBO Original series The Sopranos. New footage from Max Originals The Pitt, a new drama starring and executive produced by five-time Emmy® nominee Noah Wyle with showrunner Emmy® nominee R. Scott Gemmill and the eight-episode drama series Duster, J.J. Abrams' first series at Max starring Rachel Hilson opposite Josh Holloway, can be seen in the spot.

New footage from returning series can be seen throughout including groundbreaking HBO Original drama series The Last of Us, which had the biggest debut season in HBO's history, the third season of The Gilded Age, which just received its first drama series and actor Emmy® nominations, and the upcoming third season of The White Lotus, along with the third seasons of Max Originals And Just Like That... and The Sex Lives of College Girls.

HBO Max Renews The Sex Lives of College Girls for Season 3; Hulu's Premiere of Extraordinary is Jan. 25

HBO Max has renewed comedy series The Sex Lives of College Girls for a third season. The ten-episode second season from Warner Bros. Television debuted November 17 and concludes with the final two episodes of the season today (Thur 12/15). Since the launch of season two, The Sex Lives of College Girls has been the top Max Original, with last week's release day setting a new record for the series by delivering an audience more than double that of the series launch in 2021. Created by Emmy®-nominated writer/producer Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble, The Sex Lives of College Girls follows four college roommates at New England's prestigious Essex College. Season two picks up with the students returning after their fall break, tackling the challenges thrown their way at the end of season one, and facing their next semester filled with new faces, parties and predicaments. The series stars Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, Reneé Rapp, and Alyah Chanelle Scott. Additional series regulars for season two include Mekki Leeper, Christopher Meyer, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Lolo Spencer, Renika Williams, and Mitchell Slaggert.

That awkward moment when everyone has a superpower except you. Hulu has released the official trailer for new comedy series Extraordinary, a hilarious new spin on superpowers from debut writer Emma Moran and the producers of Killing Eve. All eight episodes will launch on Wednesday, January 25, 2023.

Extraordinary is set in a world where everyone develops a power on their 18th birthday... everyone, that is, except for Jen. She's turning 25 and is still waiting to get hers. She's not even fussy about what that could be: super speed? Laser eyes? The ability to plug in a USB the right way every single time? She'll take it. Like a caterpillar surrounded by butterflies, Jen feels unable to move forward, stuck in a dead-end job in a party shop and occasionally hooking up with Luke, a flaky young man with the irritatingly cool ability to fly. Luckily, Jen has Carrie to stop her from wallowing in her own self-pity. Inseparable since school, their relationship cycles between sister, parent, and wingman. Together they share an East London flat with Carrie's long-term boyfriend, Kash. Carrie has the power to channel the dead but feels she's been overshadowed by her own party trick: doesn’t anyone care about what she has to say? Kash takes his power – the ability to turn back time – very seriously, but he’s not above using it to undo minor embarrassments, or moments when he says exactly the wrong thing to long-suffering Carrie. The fourth member of the flat is a stray cat, named Jizzlord by the gang, who’s harbouring a surprising secret: turns out even cats have more power than Jen.

Adrift in a big, confusing world and armed with nothing but a bit of hope and a lot of desperation, Jen begins her journey to find her maybe-superpower. But in doing so, she might discover the joy of being just kind of ok. Extraordinary is led by a cast of rising UK talent, including Máiréad Tyers (Jen), Sofia Oxenham (Carrie), Bilal Hasna (Kash), and Luke Rollason (Jizzlord). Additional cast members include Siobhan McSweeney (Jen's mum, Mary), Robbie Gee (Jen's stepdad, Ian), Safia Oakley-Green (Jen's half-sister, Andy), and Ned Porteous (Luke).
