Start Autumn off with Exciting, Hit Programming on USA Network

THE STARTER WIFE

On the heels of its stellar ratings and Emmy success, USA is bringing back the hit miniseries THE STARTER WIFE as a 10-episode series, with Emmy Award-winner Debra Messing returning to star and now serving as executive producer. The series will focus on the post-divorce adventures of the lead character, Molly Kagan (Messing), as she begins a new chapter in her life. Returning to the cast are the Emmy-winning Judy Davis as Joan and Chris Diamantopoulos as Rodney - Molly's two best friends. The Emmy nominated writing team of Josann McGibbon & Sara Parriott return as executive producers and Gigi Levangie Grazer, who penned the NY Times bestselling novel on which the miniseries was based, also returns as executive producer.

Premieres Friday October 10th at 9pm for a two hour premiere

LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT

LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT takes a unique new approach this season with two separate writing teams. One team will tackle writing for Vincent D'Onofrio/Kathryn Erbe partnership, while the other takes on new cast member, Academy Award and Emmy nominee, Jeff Goldblum and Julianne Nicholson. The series takes viewers into the minds of its criminals while following the psychological approaches the Major Case Squad uses to solve the crimes. The squad investigates high-profile cases, usually homicides, such as those involving VIPs, local government officials and employees, the financial industry and the art world. CRIMINAL INTENT differs from other series in the "Law & Order" franchise because it gives a great amount of attention to the actions and motives of the criminals, rather than showing (almost exclusively) the police and prosecution's side of the case.

Premieres Thursday, November 6 at 10/9
