THE NEW FALL 2024
SERIES:
JOAN
Sophie Turner (“Game of Thrones,” “X-Men: Dark Phoenix,” “The
Staircase”) stars as notorious jewel thief Joan Hannington in this
exhilarating yet emotional story set against the vibrant backdrop
of the 1980s — an era known for its bold fashion trends, iconic
music and cultural shifts. The series opens with Joan, a fiery and
uncompromising woman in her twenties who is deeply scarred and
vulnerable. She is a devoted mother to her six-year-old daughter,
Kelly, but is trapped in a disastrous marriage with a violent
criminal named Gary. When Gary goes on the run, Joan seizes the
opportunity to create a new life for herself and her daughter. Joan
becomes a masterful jewel thief. She embarks on a thrilling,
high-stakes journey that challenges her every limit, driven by her
desire to care for her daughter and create a secure home for them
both. Through her sharp intelligence, charm and talent for
impersonation and performance, we follow the twists and turns in
Joan’s life, the ups and downs, the heartache and the joy that
makes this story so compelling to follow. Turner stars alongside
Frank Dillane (“Fear the Walking Dead”) as Boisie, a London
antiques dealer. Kirsty J. Curtis (“Match Not Found”) plays Nancy,
Joan’s older sister and salon worker while Gershwyn Eustache Jr.
(“I May Destroy You”) portrays Albie, an old acquaintance of Boisie
who’s made a new life in Spain with his wife Val, played by Laura
Aikman (“The Split”).
JOAN is written by acclaimed screenwriter Anna Symon
(“The Essex Serpent”) and directed by BAFTA award-winner Richard
Laxton (“Rain Dogs”). The series is from Snowed-In Productions and
executive produced by Ruth Kenley-Letts (“Stonehouse”), Jenny Van
Der Lande (“Too Close”), Neil Blair (“The Midwich Cuckoos”) and
Richard Laxton. JOAN has been commissioned for ITVX by Head
of Drama Polly Hill. The series is produced in association with
All3Media International and The CW Network.
THE LIBRARIANS: THE NEXT CHAPTER
THE LIBRARIANS: THE NEXT CHAPTER is a spinoff of the
original TV series “The Librarians,” which followed the adventures
of the custodians of a magical repository of the world’s most
powerful and dangerous supernatural artifacts. The new series
centers on Vikram (Callum McGowan), a “Librarian” from the past,
who time traveled to the present and now finds himself stuck here.
When he returns to his castle, which is now a museum, he
inadvertently releases magic across the continent. He is given a
new team to help him clean up the mess he made, forming a new team
of Librarians. The series stars Callum McGowan as Vikram
Chamberlain; Jessica Green as Charlie Cornwall, the Guardian;
Olivia Morris as Lysa Pascal, The Scientist and Bluey Robinson as
Connor Green, the Historian. Dean Devlin serves as Showrunner and
executive producer alongside Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan-Wilson
of Electric Entertainment. Noah Wyle also serves as executive
producer. Mark Franco of Electric Entertainment and Jonathan
English of Balkanic Media also produce.
SCRABBLE
SCRABBLE is a captivating, fast-paced take on the global
board-game phenomenon. In each episode, wordsmiths battle it out
over a series of addictive word games of skill and strategy to win
points and master a giant Scrabble board in the center of the set.
Hosted by fan-favorite actor, singer, producer and director
Raven-Symoné, SCRABBLE is produced by Hasbro Entertainment,
The CW, Mattel Television Studios and Lionsgate Alternative
Television. David Garfinkle, Gabriel Marano and Michelle
Mendelovitz serve as executive producers.
TRIVIAL PURSUIT
The beloved trivia game TRIVIAL PURSUIT is reimagined in
a question-packed entertainment format. Gameplay takes place on a
giant version of the iconic Trivial Pursuit game board, as
contestants battle it out over a range of play-along question
categories to win wedges and beat each other to the center. The
victor then takes on a dramatic finale against the clock to claim
the big money jackpot. Hosted by Emmy® Award-winning actor,
director, producer and podcaster LeVar Burton, TRIVIAL
PURSUIT is produced by Hasbro Entertainment, The CW, Lionsgate
Alternative Television and Talpa Studios. David Garfinkle, Gabriel
Marano, John De Mol, Matt Walton and Matt Pritchard serve as
executive producers.
WWE NXT
Launched by WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque,
WWE NXT has aired weekly since 2012 and features the
brightest young talent in sports entertainment. Nearly 90% of the
participants in last year’s WrestleMania were developed under the
NXT banner. Led by WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, NXT is popular
with younger audiences, ranking No. 1 in cable primetime on Tuesday
nights among Adults 18-49 and 18-34. WWE Superstars such as Roman

THE NEW MIDSEASON 2025
SERIES:
GOOD COP/BAD COP
GOOD COP/BAD COP is a one-hour procedural dramedy
centered around Lou (Leighton Meester, “Gossip Girl”) and Henry
(Luke Cook, “Katy Keene,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), an odd
couple sister and brother detective team in a small Pacific
Northwest police force. They must contend with colorful residents,
a serious lack of resources, and their very complicated dynamic
with each other and with their police chief, Big Hank (Clancy
Brown, “Dexter: New Blood,” “Billions”)—who happens to be their
father. From Future Shack Entertainment and Jungle Entertainment
for commissioning broadcasters The CW Network and The Roku Channel
in the United States and Stan in Australia, GOOD COP/BAD COP
is written and executive produced by John Quaintance with Jeff
Wachtel, Trent O’Donnell (“Ghosts”) and Chloe Rickard serving as

Phil Lloyd set as co-executive producer. GOOD COP/BAD COP is
produced in association with and distributed by ITV Studios. The
production is supported by the Queensland Government through Screen
Queensland’s Production Attraction Strategy.
SHERLOCK & DAUGHTER
The mystery thriller series SHERLOCK & DAUGHTER puts
Sherlock Holmes (David Thewlis, “Fargo,” The Artful Dodger”) out of
his comfort zone, mysteriously unable to investigate a sinister
case without risking the lives of his closest friends. Enter: young
American Amelia (Blu Hunt, “The Originals,” “The New Mutants”).
After her mother’s mysterious murder, she learns her missing father
may be the legendary detective. Despite wildly different
backgrounds and attitudes, the pair must work together to solve a
global conspiracy, crack her mother’s murder, and find out for sure
if she really is Sherlock’s daughter. International Emmy®
Award-winning Dougray Scott (“Batwoman,” “Crime”) also stars as
Holmes’ nemesis, Moriarty. From Starlings Television Distribution,
Albion Television and StoryFirst, SHERLOCK & DAUGHTER is
led by showrunner and executive producer James Duff (“The Closer,”
“Major Crimes”) and is created, written and executive produced by
Brendan Foley (“Cold Courage,” “The Man Who Died”). Micah War Dog
Wright (“They’re Watching,” “First Nations Comedy Experience”) and
