SERIES

primetime lineup. For a full list of Global's premiere
dates click here.
SCRIPTED
First announced in June 2022,
the wait is finally over for the new Global original
Robyn Hood from
acclaimed Canadian music video director and
filmmaker Director X. The eight-episode, one-hour
series stars an up-and-coming cast featuring Jessye Romeo, Nykeem Provo,
Idrissa Sanogo Bamba,
Ksenia Daniela
Kharlamova, Jonathan
Langdon, Sydney
Kuhne, Ian
Matthews, Kira
Guloien, Manuel
Rodriguez-Saenz, and Lisa Michelle Cornelius.
Robyn Hood follows
Robyn Loxley, a young woman whose
masked hip-hop band, The Hood, is known for their inventive videos
and anti-authoritarian message. She lives in Sherwood Towers, a
community of rental high-rises in a working-class corner of New
Nottingham, where the cost of living has skyrocketed, leaving an
ever-widening gap between the rich and everyone else. When Robyn
finds herself fighting for her home and her family against local
property developer John Prince and
The Sheriff of New Nottingham, Robyn and her band The Hood decide
to fight back, righting the wrongs of the corrupt elite to give
back to the people.
The series is produced and distributed globally by Boat
Rocker.
Then, new to Global this fall, Yellowstone
will have its broadcast premiere starting from the beginning of
Season One, starring 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.
UNSCRIPTED
The hilarious new competition series Buddy Games, created and hosted
by Josh Duhamel joins
Global's lineup this fall. Buddy
Games is a reality competition inspired by
executive producer Josh Duhamel's
real-life annual tradition with his lifelong friends. For the past
20 years, one weekend a summer, Duhamel reunites with his childhood
friends to compete in a variety of competition-style games. Based
on Duhamel's own experience, Buddy
Games will bring together best friends from different
backgrounds and offer them the same opportunity to live together,
compete in wild challenges and prove their bonds run deep.
Also new to Global, the high-octane Lotería
Loca hosted by Jaime
Camil (Jane the Virgin) sees two players go
head-to-head and take turns picking cards to get four-in-a-row,
which is Lotería. Each time a card appears on their unique
bingo-style card, they bank big money. Landing on one of the "Loca
Cards" creates a twist in the game and gives players the
opportunity to bank even more cash by competing in wild,
interactive challenges. The player who gets the most "Loterías" on
their board the fastest, moves on to the dramatic final round for a
chance to win the ultimate show cash prize.
Lotería Loca was created by Jeff Apploff, Aaron
Solomon and Alejandro
Trevino. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted
Television in association with Warner Horizon and Apploff
Entertainment. Jeff Apploff,
Jaime Camil, Mike Darnell, Dan
Sacks, Bridgette Theriault
and Aaron Solomon are executive
producers. Alejandro Trevino serves
as co-executive producer. Apploff will also serve as
showrunner.
Rounding out Global's fresh new slate of unscripted
programming, Raid the Cage is an action-packed game
show where 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 luxury items to
electronics. After three rounds, the team who banks the highest
total dollar value in prizes wins the game, keeps what they grabbed
and plays the final round for even bigger prizes including a
car.
Raid the Cage is produced by Sony Pictures Television's
Game Show division. Jack Martin
serves as Executive Producer. Raid the Cage is distributed
globally by Sony Pictures Television.
