TCA turned its eyes to NBC’s cable and other properties on Monday, with Oxygen’s reality show “Nail’d” offering free mani/pedis in the lounge next to the Beverly Hilton’s ballroom and USA’s “Chrisley Knows Best” serving up fresh banana pudding.
Oxygen Media will launch its rebrand on Tuesday, Oct. 7, with its new logo (below) and tagline, “Very Real” to debut across all platforms. The rebrand is meant to reflect the channel’s new focus, featuring “authentic, proudly imperfect and diverse characters with stories that are culturally relevant for young, modern women.”
Along those lines, Oxygen greenlit two new series, “It Takes a Sister” and “After Happily Ever After,” and announced three new shows in development: “The Assistants,” “Party INC.,” and “Stranded at Work.”
Likewise, USA, a much more mature brand, also made a few programming announcements on Monday as well as showed the first full trailer for its upcoming limited series, Dig, from “Heroes’” Tim Kring and “Homeland"’s Gideon Raff.
USA greenlit a pilot of new hacker drama, “Mr. Robot,” from Universal Cable Production and Anonymous Content, the production company behind HBO’s “True Detective.” It’s also starting production on its new series, “Complications,” from “Burn Notice” Creator Matt Nix.
This Thursday, USA is premiering two new original dramas: “Rush,” starring Tom Ellis as a Beverly Hills doctor who caters to Hollywood’s elite, and “Satisfaction,” starring “The Glades"’ Matt Passmore as a man rethinking his marriage.
Bravo is adding new series to its primetime line-up: “There Goes the Motherhood,” “Secrets & Wives” and the fourth “Million Dollar Listing” spin-off, “Million Dollar Listing San Francisco.” Meanwhile, “Million Dollar Listing New York” and “Southern Charm” have been picked up for new seasons.
Bravo also set Tuesday, Dec. 2, at 10pm, as the premiere date for its upcoming “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce,” starring “House"’s Lisa Edelstein.
Finally, Esquire Network, which was rebranded from Style Network nine months ago, is adding six-part series “Weekend Fix” and a one-hour special, “Best Restaurants in America,” which will accompany Esquire Magazine’s American Food Awards, published in the November issue.
