About the Series:

YELLOWSTONE

From MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, YELLOWSTONE stars Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe winner Kevin Costner as John Dutton, the patriarch of a powerful, complicated family of ranchers. A sixth-generation homesteader and devoted father, Dutton controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. He operates in a corrupt world where politicians are compromised by influential oil and lumber corporations and land grabs make developers billions. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds and hard-earned respect, Dutton’s property is in constant conflict with those it borders – an expanding town, an Indian reservation and America’s first national park. Starring Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille and Gil Birmingham. YELLOWSTONE is co-created by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Taylor Sheridan (“Wind River,” “Hell or High Water” and “Sicario”) and John Linson. Executive producers include John Linson, Art Linson, Taylor Sheridan, Kevin Costner, David C. Glasser, Bob Yari and Stephen Kay.

A cash-strapped young couple inherit a rickety country mansion, only to find it teeming with needy ghosts. Stars Charlotte Ritchie, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond. UK: GHOSTS is a Monumental Television Production in association with Them There for the BBC and distributed by BBC Studios.

Starring David Boreanaz, Max Theriot, AJ Buckley and Toni Trucks. Produced by CBS Studios for Paramount +.

FBI TRUE

FBI TRUE features the conversations between agents when they meet to talk about their toughest cases. They talk frankly about the triumphs, tragedies and real truths of their jobs. In this relaxed setting, they share hair-raising stories of dangerous missions carried out by the FBI in the United States and worldwide. The agents give viewers an inside look at the investigations behind some of the biggest cases handled by the FBI. With everything on the line, what choices did they make? How did they keep their cool with a kidnapped child’s life in danger, or with a bomb ticking in an unknown location, or a terrorist on the loose? FBI TRUE is produced by Efran Films Canada for See It Now Studios.

BUDDY GAMES

Hosted by Josh Duhamel, BUDDY GAMES unites six teams of four deep-rooted friends, who met at various stages of their lives, at a stunning lakeside location for a nostalgic adult summer camp adventure. “Ride or dies” get the chance to play “buddy games” where they will relive their glory days and compete in an assortment of absurd physical and mental challenges in the outdoors while bunking together in the same lake house. Friendships will be rekindled, and rivalries reignited, when these friends are challenged to prove which bonds are strong enough to withstand the competition. The last buddy team standing will be crowned champion and take home a cash prize, plus the coveted Buddy Games trophy, and of course bragging rights. Produced by Bunim-Murray Productions and CBS Studios.

LOTERÍA LOCA

LOTERÍA LOCA is a wildly entertaining, action-packed series hosted by Jaime Camil, who also serves as executive producer. Full of unexpected surprises, the new series is based on the Latin game of chance popularly known now as Lotería. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon and Apploff Entertainment.

RAID THE CAGE

Get in. Get out. Get rich! Strategy, teamwork and nerve are key to winning big in RAID THE CAGE. In the new action-packed game show, two teams of two face off to grab-and-go prizes from the Cage before their time runs out and the doors close. Correctly answering trivia questions adds seconds to the clock, giving teammates more time to grab prizes ranging from cold hard cash to electronics and even a new car! After three lively rounds, the team that banks the highest total dollar value in prizes wins the game, keeps what they grabbed and plays the final round for an even bigger cash prize. The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television’s Game Show division.
