Apple TV+ Prime Target Trailer; Apple Cider Vinegar Premieres in February on Netflix
Apple TV+ unveiled the trailer and key art for new conspiracy thriller Prime Target, starring SAG Award winner Leo Woodall (The White Lotus, One Day) and Quintessa Swindell (Black Adam, In Treatment). Created by award-winning writer Steve Thompson (Sherlock, Vienna Blood), who also serves as executive producer, the new drama is produced for Apple TV+ by New Regency with Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions. The eight-episode series will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on January 22, with the first two episodes, followed by one episode weekly, every Wednesday through March 5.
Prime Target features a brilliant young math postgraduate, Edward Brooks (played by Woodall), who is on the verge of a major breakthrough. If he succeeds in finding a pattern in prime numbers, he will hold the key to every computer in the world. Soon, he begins to realize an unseen enemy is trying to destroy his idea before it's even born, which throws him into the orbit of Taylah Sanders, an NSA agent (played by Swindell) who’s been tasked with watching and reporting on mathematicians' behavior. Together, they start to unravel the troubling conspiracy Edward is at the heart of. The cast also includes Academy Award nominee and BAFTA Award winner Stephen Rea, BAFTA Award nominee David Morrissey, Emmy Award winner Martha Plimpton, BAFTA Award winner Sidse Babett Knudsen, SAG Award nominee Jason Flemyng, BAFTA Award nominee Harry Lloyd, Ali Suliman, Fra Fee and Joseph Mydell.
Set at the birth of Instagram, Apple Cider Vinegar follows two young women who set out to cure their life-threatening illnesses through health and wellness, influencing their global online communities along the way. All of which would be incredibly inspiring if it were all true. This is a true-ish story based on a lie, about the rise and fall of a wellness empire; the culture that built it up and the people who tore it down. Apple Cider Vinegar premieres February 6, only on Netflix.
Cast: Kaitlyn Dever (Dopesick, Unbelievable), Alycia Debnam-Carey (The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, Fear the Walking Dead), Aisha Dee (The Bold Type, Safe Home), Tilda Cobham-Hervey (The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, I Am Woman), Ashley Zukerman (Succession), Mark Coles Smith (Mystery Road: Origin), Susie Porter (Irreverent, Wentworth), Matt Nable (Transfusion, Last King of the Cross), Phoenix Raei (The Night Agent), Chai Hansen (Night Sky, The New Legends of Monkey), Richard Davies (Offspring), Kieran Darcy-Smith (Mr Inbetween), Catherine McClements (Total Control) and Essie Davis (The Babadook, Game of Thrones).

My Three Sons to Join FETV Lineup Starting February 3; St. Denis Medical Renewed for Season 2
As we mentioned last week, FETV is going to air uncut episodes of most of its series starting in February. My Three Sons joins the lineup starting Monday, February 3 airing unedited on weekdays at 11:45am and 12:22am and again in late night at 3:10am and 3:47am. The rest of the schedule are the shows currently airing but in new odd start and end times due to the uncut nature. It looks like most shows will be uncut, with exceptions like Bewitched and Barney Miller from Sony Pictures. View the full schedule.
My Three Sons is an American sitcom following the life of widower and aeronautical engineer Steven Douglas (Fred MacMurray) as he raises his three sons. The show is known to be one of television’s first single-parent sitcoms, revolving around an all-male family facing the hardships of life in suburbia. The series centers around the boys – Mike (Tim Considine), Robbie (Don Grady), and Chip (Stanley Livingston). Always there to help out is the kids’ crabby but lovable maternal grandfather and live-in housekeeper, Michael Francis ‘Bub’ O’Casey (William Frawley). After ‘Bub’ departs for Ireland, his younger brother, Uncle Charley (William Demarest), moves in to take over helping out with the boys and the house. My Three Sons is one of the longest-running and most popular sitcoms in history. It offered a wholesome dose of family entertainment in the 1960s that showed a different household than the typical nuclear family previously seen on television.

Game Show Network Acquires The Wall; NBC's The Hunting Party to Premiere After NFL Divisional Playoff Game
Game Show Network will run the entire first season of The Wall, hosted by Chris Hardwick, weeknights at 8pm ET as of yesterday (Monday, January 13). Executive produced by NBA star LeBron James, The Wall is an unpredictable game show that gives two-person teams a chance to earn life-altering cash prizes by correctly answering a series of questions. With more than $12 million up for grabs each night, the contestants attempt to earn as much cash as they can from a four-story high wall that can dash hopes or make dreams come true. When contestants answer a question correctly, a green ball falls down the wall to add to their team’s tally. Answer incorrectly, and a dreaded red ball drops to subtract from the total. Up to $3 million can be won or lost on a single nail-biting drop.
NBC's new drama series The Hunting Party is now going to premiere Sunday, January 19 at 7 p.m. ET/PT and next day on Peacock. The series debut is scheduled to follow the NFL divisional playoff game (3 p.m. ET) between the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Rams game and NBC Nightly News (6:30 p.m. ET), depending upon the length of the game. An encore episode of The Hunting Party will air in its original premiere timeslot (Monday, February 3 at 10 p.m.) with new episodes continuing Monday, February 10.
