Embassy Row – Some people are born with money and some people are born with class. To be a McKinlan in America is to be born with both money and class. Lynne McKinlan (Sally Field) has entertained presidents at her house on Embassy Row for decades, as the wife of a loving and wealthy Democratic Senator who has been a landmark in the senate for nearly 30 years following in the footsteps of his grandfather who was vice president. Lynne’s greatest accomplishment though may have been raising 4 children in Washington DC. Her children were raised with all of America watching, knowing they would be political royalty. Her son Jess (Scott Speedman) is a do-gooder liberal college professor going through a nasty divorce after he had an affair, her 28 year old daughter Avery (Lizzy Caplan) is a hard-partying photographer struggling to find herself, while Avery’s twin Grant (Brandon Routh) is a very successful gay radio political commentator. When Lynne’s husband suddenly and tragically dies in a suspicious car accident that could be homicide, the family is torn apart. When brother Dean (Jonathan LaPaglia) returns from New York with his wife Michelle (Amy Jo Johnson), daughter (Sarah Hyland) and son (Connor Paolo) after being estranged for years and announces his candidacy for his father’s famed senate position it creates further controversy in the family. Dean has to return to DC, the place he fled so long ago, and face the one thing he always ran away from: his father’s shadow. In senate he’ll face great challenges, but he’ll face even more dealing with his powerful mother and strong-willed siblings. Embassy Row is a political drama about a famous family who grew up in the heart of the American political scene.
The Joneses – The Joneses is an explosively entertaining drama that takes the viewer all around in the world and begs the question how will do you really know your neighbors. Covert operative Steven Lambert (Stuart Townsend) goes on top secret missions all around the world protecting the interest of his country and often times private employers, by going undercover. He met his daring wife Natasha (Michelle Monaghan) when they were partnered together in England, and after they married the spy agency they work for placed them in the suburbs outside Los Angeles for safety with the last name Jones. Natasha and Steven try to settle into life as a suburban couple in a beautiful house, and make their neighbors believe they are just a suburban couple who work in real estate. Their neighbors Ashlan (Jaime Ray Newman) and Drake Sheldson (Ryan McPartlin) become friends with the Joneses but are also suspicious of them. The spy agency, a high tech building hidden underground in Los Angeles, is headed by Agent I-29 (Regina King) who knows Natasha and Steven are the top agents, and goes to great lengths to protect the identities of all her spies. Steven’s best friend CJ (Omari Hardwick) is also one of the top spies for the agency and is often sent on operatives with Steven and Miranda, as is former criminal turned tech expert Randy (Brian Van Holt). In the world of covert operatives and undercover agents, no one can be trusted, not even your neighbor. For Natasha and Steven going on high-octane missions all around the world is easier than trying to deal with life in the suburbs.
Loving Jenny Vaughn– Jenny Vaughn (Chyler Leigh) is the beautiful, smart and funny manager at a top Miami resort. Jenny Vaughn also comes with a lot of baggage. When Jenny gets engaged to her boyfriend of 1 year Justin (Zachary Levi), he moves from Colorado to Miami to live with her and he sees all the baggage she comes with. There’s Jenny’s overbearing, golf-loving, out-of-touch father Greg (Ed O’Neill) who does not understand how to age gracefully, with his third wife Erin (Julie Benz) who is also Jenny’s boss at the resort and Erin’s teenage son Carter (Reid Ewing). Jenny’s brother Stu (Dax Shepard) is the slacker of the family, but he would do anything to protect his sister. Her brother’s best friend Tim (Joe Manganiello) is also her ex-boyfriend. He graduated from Princeton and now works as a doctor helping immigrants, a hard act for Justin to follow. Jenny’s best friend Kia (Busy Phillips) is a single, judgmental and harsh lawyer who frequently challenges Justin. All of them have one thing in common: They all love Jenny Vaughn. As Jenny and Justin plan their dream wedding and settle into their apartment together, Justin realizes that marrying Jenny is kind of a package deal in this hilarious comedy about getting hitched without knowing what you’re getting into.
On the Job – For Chicago mom Amanda Eastman (Ellen Pompeo) leaving medicine for motherhood 6 years ago was a hard move, but one she has felt helped her teenage daughter, two younger sons, as well as her struggling marriage. When her husband Ian (Nathan Fillion), the head of medicine at a Chicago hospital becomes accused of murder for illegally selling prescription medication, Amanda returns to work at the hospital with her husband. Also working at the hospital is Amir (Cliff Curtis) her husband’s closest friend, Dr. Brandon Steffs (Coby Bell) whom Amanda had a fling with years earlier, as well as rising new doctor Christopher (Matt Czuchry) and famous surgeon Jacquelyn Kingston (Cherry Jones). Raising her kids and going back to work proves to be a challenge for Amanda, while Ian struggles to fight off his criminal charges and save his troubled marriage to Amanda.
Southern Charm – Southern Charm is a dark serial drama about the wealthy scheming Republican Governor Phillips (Julian McMohan) of Kentucky who makes dirty deals. He often cheats on his long-time wife (Melinda McGraw) who he has 3 children with. After a suspicious murder of a female aide who Governor Phillips was having an affair with, he becomes involved with the local mob, while the District Attorney (Jason Isaacs) becomes convinced that the governor murdered his aide. Southern Charm explores the dirty politics and personal life of Governor Phillips, as well as the District Attorney who wants to bring the Governor down while uncovering the complex murder of his aide.
St. Louis Heat – Welcome to St. Louis Missouri, America’s most dangerous city. To keep law and order in a city like this, you need someone as tough as nails. Someone like Tess Johnson (Sharon Stone). After a drug scandal with the chief of police, Tess is surprisingly selected as the first female chief of police in Missouri. She’s unconventional, unethical, and completely unpredictable with a hard past. Tess struggles to get respect from the men she’s controlling, especially the Assistant Chief of Police Vincent (DB Woodside). Also working with Tess is single dad Lieutenant Casey Vice (David Rees Snell) who may be her biggest supporter, and extremely intelligent Deputy Roy Mendes (Jay Hernandez). Newbie Officer Holden (Scott Evans), a tough guy with a secret he keeps from the other officers, isn’t quite ready for the tough streets of St. Louis. Holden is partnered with war veteran, alcoholic and macho-guy Deputy Steven Gracen (Michael Cudlitz). Detective Vin Cooke (Steve Harris) has been working for the St. Louis PD for 20 years and knows the streets all too well. Tess will have to adapt fast to solve and stop crimes in this city, where the man beside you might not be there the next day and where your job follows you home.
