The Chicken Sisters
Starring: Schuyler Fisk, Genevieve Angelson, Lea Thompson, and Wendie Malick
Release Date: Available on launch, September 10, with new episodes premiering every Thursday starting Sept. 12.
Logline: The Chicken Sisters is a family drama dipped in Southern charm and served up with a saucy side of romance. The setting is the fictional town of Merinac, where a generations-old rift between dueling fried chicken restaurants – Mimi’s and Frannie’s – has left the founders’ families fractured and the locals taking sides. When the popular cooking competition show Kitchen Clash comes to town, this could be the recipe for ending this feud once and for all. But things are fixing to heat up both inside and outside of the kitchen as the reality show spotlight causes sparks to fly as secrets are spilled and feathers get ruffled.

Ripple
Starring: TBD
Release Date: TBD
Logline: According to Deadline, Ripple “explores how unexpectedly connected we are as human beings. Set in New York City, Nate, Kris, Walter, and Aria have crossed paths hundreds of times, yet they’ve never met. Because of the seemingly minuscule decisions these core four make in the pilot, we’ll witness the ripple effect of how these strangers, all dealing with life’s challenges in their own way, are led to one another. The message of this show is: just wait for the rainbow. Some of the best things in life can’t happen without the storm. Ripple amplifies a message of hope and reassurance that no matter what challenges come your way, we are never alone.”
