ABOUT THE NEW SHOWS
"The Fix"
Starring Robin Tunney, Adewale Akinnouye-Agbaje and Scott Cohen, "The Fix" follows Maya Travis, an L.A. district attorney who suffers a devastating defeat after prosecuting an A-list movie star for double murder. With her high-profile career derailed, she flees for a quieter life in rural Washington. Eight years later, when this same star is under suspicion for another murder, Maya is lured back to the DA's office for another chance at justice. "The Fix" is executive produced/co-written by Elizabeth Craft & Sarah Fain and Marcia Clark. Michael Katleman is an executive producer along with Laurie Zaks, David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman from Mandeville TV. Produced by ABC Studios.
Eva Longoria executive produces this bold, provocative drama set at the last family-owned hotel in multicultural Miami Beach. Charismatic Santiago Mendoza (Demi�n Bichir) owns the hotel, while his glamorous second wife, Gigi (Roselyn S�nchez), and their adult children enjoy the spoils of success. The hotel's loyal staff round out a contemporary, fresh take on an upstairs/downstairs story. Wealthy and beautiful guests bask in luxury, but scandals, escalating debt and explosive secrets hide beneath the picture-perfect exterior. Produced by ABC Studios, the show is based on the Spanish series. Brian Tanen is the writer and executive producer.

Despite their eccentricities and crazy personal lives, these teachers are heroes to their students. Created by Adam F. Goldberg & Marc Firek, the series is from Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios. Adam F. Goldberg, Doug Robinson and Marc Firek are executive producers.
Following an emotional breakup, Will Chase (codename: "Whiskey Cavalier"), played by Scott Foley, is assigned to work with badass CIA operative Francesca "Frankie" Trowbridge (codename: "Fiery Tribune"), played by Lauren Cohan.
