BENCHED: USA Network Sets Premiere Date for Eliza Coupe and Jay Harrington Comedy

BENCHED is coming to USA Network October 28th, the network announced.

“This is a prime slot on our schedule for BENCHED,” said Chris McCumber, President of USA Network in a statement. “With MODERN FAMILY kicking off the night, followed by our laugh-out-loud hit series, CHRISLEY KNOWS BEST, BENCHED will have a powerful comedic launch pad. We are excited to cap off the night with this standout comedy from some of the most talented creatives in the business.”

BENCHED follows Eliza Coupe’s Nina in a single-camera comedy about a high-powered corporate lawyer’s fall from grace post-finding out her ex-fiancé has gotten engaged and that she won’t be making partner at her firm. Now, she has to remake her life while taking a job as a public defender. BETTER OFF TED’s Jay Harrington co-stars as Phil, a fellow public defender.
