Watch the New ‘Ray Donovan’ Season Three Trailer

Showtime’s Ray Donovan kicks off season three on July 12, 2015 at 9pm ET/PT with Katie Holmes and Ian McShane joining the cast in guest starring roles, and the new trailer actually includes scenes with both Holmes and McShane along with series regulars Liev Schreiber and Jon Voight. The cast of season three also includes Paula Malcomson, Elliott Gould, Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok, Steven Bauer, Katherine Moennig, Pooch Hall, Kerris Dorsey, and Devon Bagby.

Season 3’s Plot:

Ray Donovan stars two-time Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Liev Schreiber as LA’s best professional fixer, the man called in to make the city’s celebrities, superstar athletes, and business moguls’ most complicated and combustible situations go away. Season 3 finds Ray adrift from his family and those closest to him, while he focuses on his business and desires to be his own boss.

Meanwhile, his father, Mickey (Voight), who had narrowly escaped last season’s heist debacle, finds himself charting a similar course to build his own empire.

Woody Harrelson to Star in ‘LBJ’ for Director Rob Reiner

Oscar nominee Woody Harrelson (The People vs Larry Flynt, The Messenger) will be teaming up with Oscar nominated director Rob Reiner (A Few Good Men) on LBJ, with Harrelson set to play Lyndon Baines Johnson. The political drama is set up with Acacia Entertainment, Savvy Media Holdings, Castle Rock Entertainment, and Star Thrower Entertainment and was written by 2014 Black List winner Joey Hartstone. Reiner, Matthew George, Liz Glotzer, Michael R. Williams, Tim White, and Trevor White (the Whites developed the project) are producing.

“During the sixties, I was a hippy and Lyndon Johnson was my president,” said Reiner. “At the time LBJ was the target of most of my generation’s anti-Vietnam-War anger. But as time has passed and my understanding of political realities has grown; I’ve come to see LBJ in a very different light. He was a complex man; a combination of brilliant political instinct, raw strength, ambition, and deep insecurities. The strength and power of persuasion that he showed to his colleagues existed alongside of a soft, almost childlike quality that perhaps only Lady Bird got to see. His life’s path was nothing short of Shakespearean. From the poor hill country of West Texas to the corridors of power in Washington, he used his brilliant political acumen to pass the most groundbreaking civil rights legislation of the twentieth century. And had it not been for the Vietnam War, I believe he would have gone down as one of America’s greatest presidents.”

Filming will take place in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Dallas, and Washington DC beginning in September 2015.

The Plot:

The script centers around the political upheaval that Vice President Johnson faced when he was thrust into the presidency at the hands of an assassin’s bullet in November 1963. With political battles on both sides of the aisle, Johnson struggles to heal a nation and secure his presidency by passing Kennedy’s historic Civil Rights Act.

A&E Announces 2015 Summer Premieres

A&E’s 2015 summer schedule kicks off on July 15th with the return of Wahlburgers at 9:30pm ET/PT. Donnie Loves Jenny is back for season two immediately following the season four premiere of Wahlburgers. And newbie Lachey’s Bar will make its debut at 10:30pm ET/PT featuring Drew and Nick Lachey in a bar (hence the series’ title).

Along with announcing the premiere date for the above mentioned shows, A&E also released descriptions of their upcoming summer seasons:

Wahlburgers:

Season four of Wahlburgers promises to be the biggest and best season yet of Boston’s most well known family, the Wahlbergs. Balancing life at home with his wife Rhea, Mark promotes two blockbuster feature films, Ted 2 and Entourage. Paul and Mark head to Paris for the Ted 2 press junket and leave some time for sightseeing. Mark also makes his directorial debut as he teams up with Diddy for the new Wahlburgers jingle video featuring Johnny Drama. The brothers push Paul to expand the franchise as New York City gets its first location with additional restaurants opening in Boston and Los Angeles. Donnie and Alma take on the Big Apple and later visit the new Coney Island location and of course get into some mother- son shenanigans. Meanwhile, Donnie is on a multi-city tour with New Kids on the Block, but still makes time to connect with his family and the growing business. Paul and Alma hold down the fort at the family’s two Hingham restaurants, Alma Nove and Wahlburgers. Brother Bob tries to get involved in the growing burger business and nephew Brandon moves in with Alma in order to save some cash.

Donnie Loves Jenny:

In season two of Donnie Loves Jenny, Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy navigate life as newlyweds. The couple whose romance unfolded in the public eye – from the first time they met, to their first kiss, to the news of their engagement – has opened their doors and let fans in on the next chapter of their lives, married life. The series follows the pair as they endure the stress of a cross-country move while balancing their busy schedules. Still under the spell of newlywed bliss, Donnie and Jenny would prefer to be together every moment – but their career commitments keep pulling them apart, testing the strength of their new bond.

With Donnie’s band headlining a national tour this summer, he’s thrown back into the life of a “rock star” – but he’d rather be by Jenny’s side as they try to balance building a home and connecting with their families in Chicago while Jenny commutes to New York, where she hosts her live, daily radio show, Dirty Sexy Funny on Sirius XM. Using every resource, technology, and free moment imaginable, Donnie and Jenny will attempt to stay close and put their marriage first, no matter the distance and complications that separate them.

Lachey’s Bar:

Lachey’s Bar follows brothers Nick and Drew Lachey as they fulfill a lifelong dream of opening a bar in their hometown of Cincinnati. From crafting artisanal beers and designing the menu, to knocking down walls and building the actual bar – these brothers will be rolling up their sleeves and learning everything about running a business on the fly. On top of that, they’re both juggling family and career duties. Drew and his wife Lea live their lives in Cincinnati full time with their kids while Nick and his wife Vanessa split their time between Cincinnati and Los Angeles and are preparing to welcome a new baby into the family. Despite hectic schedules, deep-seated sibling rivalry and clashes over how to run a business, these hometown heroes are committed to making their dream a reality – no matter what it takes.

VH1’s New Dating Series ‘Love at First Kiss’ Coming This Fall

VH1's Love at First Kiss Gets a Fall Premiere

VH1 will be debuting the new dating show Love at First Kiss, based on a Dutch series, this fall. VH1’s version was created by Mike Fleiss (The Bachelor) and will have an eight-episode season one run, with Susan Levison, Executive Vice President, Original Programming & Production for VH1, describing the series as a “provocative social experiment.”

Commenting on the new show, Levison said, “VH1 is thrilled to team up with the masters of televised love at Next Entertainment to put the proverbial cart before the horse and find out if one kiss between two strangers can lead to true love.”

Here’s how the series will work, according to VH1:

Each hour-long episode of Love At First Kiss will explore the captivating power of a first kiss between two strangers. Straight or gay, the only qualification to be on the show is the willingness to kiss somebody you just met. And the experiment is as simple as it sounds — walk up to a complete stranger, kiss, and then decide if there’s enough chemistry to want to get to know each other better. Can a kiss really lead to true romance? Or will they choose to go their separate ways?

Before they make their final decision, they must first both agree to go on a two-minute speed date. Then if each person is still interested they must decide if they want to enter the final stage: a real first date. Cameras will catch all of the awkward moments, candid confessions as well as physical and emotional connections.

Love At First Kiss will feature eight sometimes-steamy, sometimes-awkward smooches in the ‘Kiss Room’ per episode. If a kiss falls flat, a recurring cast of daters will have the chance to go back to the Kiss Room until they find chemistry. Throughout the series, the audience will witness all of the heartfelt scenes that come with the ups-and-downs of scoring that first kiss, first date and, hopefully, true love.
