Riverdale:
Things
aren’t always what you expect in Riverdale.
Based on the iconic characters from Archie Comics and produced by
Berlanti Productions (The
Flash, Supergirl, Blindspot, Everwood),
this one-hour drama is a bold, subversive take on the surreality of
small-town life. As a new school year begins, the town of Riverdale
is reeling from the recent, tragic death of high school golden boy
Jason Blossom — and nothing feels the same. Archie Andrews (KJ Apa)
is still the all-American teen, but the summer’s events made him
realize that he wants to pursue a career in music — and not follow
in his dad’s footsteps — despite the sudden end of his forbidden
relationship with Riverdale’s young music teacher, Ms. Grundy
(Sarah Habel). Which means Archie doesn’t have anyone who will
mentor him — certainly not singer Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray),
who is only focused on her band, the soon-to-be-world-famous
Pussycats. It’s all weighing heavily on Archie’s mind — as is
his fractured friendship with budding writer and fellow classmate
Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). Meanwhile, girl-next-door Betty Cooper
(Lili Reinhart) is anxious to see her crush, Archie, after being away
all summer, but she’s not
quite
ready to reveal her true feelings to him. And Betty’s nerves —
which are hardly soothed by her overbearing mother, Alice (Mädchen
Amick) — aren’t the only thing holding her back. When a new
student, Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), arrives in town from New
York with her mother Hermione (Marisol Nichols), there’s an
undeniable spark between she and Archie, even though Veronica doesn’t
want to risk her new friendship with Betty by making a play for
Archie. And then there’s Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch) —
Riverdale’s Queen Bee is happy to stir up trouble amongst Archie,
Betty, and Veronica, but Cheryl is keeping secrets of her own. What,
exactly, is she hiding about the mysterious death of her twin
brother, Jason? Riverdale may look like a quiet, sleepy town, but
there are dangers in the shadows. Riverdale
is
from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television
and CBS Television Studios, with executive producers Greg Berlanti
(Arrow,
The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Blindspot),
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Supergirl,
Glee),
Sarah Schechter (Arrow,
The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Blindspot)
and Jon Goldwater (Archie Comics). Riverdale
premieres midseason on The CW.
Powerless:
It’s a Super Hero’s world. We just live in it. As the first
comedy series set in the DC Universe, Powerless
is the story of Emily (Vanessa Hudgens – High
School Musical),
a young insurance adjuster specializing in regular-people coverage
against damage caused when Super Heroes and Super Villains treat the
city like their own personal battleground. Taking care of insurance
needs one by one, Emily and her team of co-workers might not have any
superpowers, but they are out to make a difference in people’s
lives and prove that you don’t need to have powers to be powerful!
From Warner Bros. Television and executive producer Ben Queen (Cars
2)
and based on characters from DC, Powerless
premieres midseason on NBC.
People
of Earth: From Emmy® winners
Conan O’Brien (Conan) and Greg Daniels (The Office,Parks
and Recreation) and creator David Jenkins comes People of
Earth, a half-hour single-camera comedy series about a
support group for alien abductees. People of Earth centers on
skeptical journalist Ozzie Graham (Wyatt Cenac – The Daily Show)
who investigates the group to write about its members’ supposed
alien encounters. The more he digs into their oddball claims,
however, the more he realizes a semblance of truth to their stories
and possibly even signs
that point to his own alien abduction. The onetime outsider now finds
himself a part of this eclectic group of misfits, all the while
struggling with the idea of knowing that life could exist beyond our
world. The series is executive produced by O’Brien, Daniels, Norm
Hiscock (King of the Hill), Jeff Ross (Conan), David
Kissinger (Eagleheart) and Larry Sullivan; Jenkins is
co-executive producer. Produced by Conaco LLC in association with
Warner Horizon Television, People of Earth is coming
this fall to TBS.
Frequency:
Based on the New Line feature film, Frequency
is
the story of a father and daughter who are supernaturally reunited
two decades after his suspicious and untimely death. New York
detective Raimy Sullivan was only seven when her father, undercover
cop Frank Sullivan, abandoned his family in pursuit of a case that
led not only to his family’s breakup, but also his eventual death
undercover. Always believing her dad died in disgrace as a corrupt
cop, Raimy set forth to surpass him in law enforcement, rising
through the ranks to detective. But everything she knows changes when
somehow Raimy and Frank connect
— across two decades — over Frank’s vintage ham radio in the
garage. Where once Frank was lost in the shadows of his undercover
work in 1996, he has now miraculously been found by his now-grown
daughter in 2016. As they forge a new relationship while working
together in two time periods to close an unsolved serial murder
investigation, their emotional connection transcends time to not only
repair the broken bonds of their family, but also defy fate and
change the course of destiny. From Lin Pictures in association with
Warner Bros. Television, Frequency
premieres Wednesday, October 5 at 9/8c on The CW. Jeremy Carver
(Supernatural),
Toby Emmerich (Frequency
film), John Rickard (Horrible
Bosses),
Dan Lin (Sherlock
Holmes
films), Jennifer Gwartz (Veronica
Mars)
and Brad Anderson (Fringe)
are executive producers.
·Time
After Time:
Using the 1979 novel and movie as a launching point, Time
After Time
chronicles the epic adventures of a young H.G. Wells. At the age of
28, the 19thcentury
scholar has yet to publish any of his landmark science fiction
novels, but his idealistic thinking and radical ideas have led him to
actually create a time machine. When his longtime friend — the
charismatic (and secretly psychopathic) Dr. John Stevenson, aka Jack
the Ripper — finds himself cornered by the authorities at Wells’
London home, he escapes to present-day New York City using the time
machine. Naturally, Wells follows, but instead of the Utopian society
he imagined would be in the future, he finds a world more aligned to
Stevenson’s temperament. Fortunately, Wells meets up with Jane
Walker, an assistant curator at a museum staging an exhibition on
Wells. As Wells and Jane come together, they will not only play a
dangerous endgame with Stevenson, but also find themselves involved
with the incredible characters and scenarios that inspired Wells’
War
of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, The Island of Dr. Moreau and
more. An epic love story charged with danger and adventure, Time
After Time
gives an unpredictable spin on the mythology of H.G. Wells by looking
at the world of today through the eyes of yesterday. Based on the
novel written by Karl Alexander and produced by Outerbanks
Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television, Time
After Time premieres
midseason on ABC. Kevin Williamson (The
Vampire Diaries)
and Marcos Siega (The
Following)
are executive producers.

the charismatic (and secretly psychopathic) Dr. John Stevenson, aka
Jack the Ripper — finds himself cornered by the authorities at
Wells’ London home, he escapes to present-day New York City using
the time machine. Naturally, Wells follows, but instead of the
Utopian society he imagined would be in the future, he finds a world
more aligned to Stevenson’s temperament. Fortunately, Wells meets
up with Jane Walker, an assistant curator at a museum staging an
exhibition on H.G. Wells, the Father of Science Fiction. As Wells and
Jane come together, they will not only play a dangerous endgame with
Stevenson, but also find themselves involved with the incredible
characters and scenarios that inspired Wells’ War
of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, The Island of Dr. Moreau and
more. An epic love story charged with danger and adventure,Time
