NEW SHOWS

"The Parent Trip," from Peacock Alley Entertainment and BYUtv, is the North American adaptation of the International Emmy Award(R)-winning UK travel format series "50 Ways to Kill Your Mammy" that sees thrill-seeking celebrities take their parent or child on bucket list adventures. From zip lining across the Niagara Gorge to shark fishing in the Atlantic, viewers get a candid look at their favourite celebrities (including Jennie Garth, Jaleel White, Keshia Knight Pulliam, Annie Murphy, Monica Potter, James Maslow) as they travel to unique destinations for experiences they have always wanted to share with their family member.

"The Fixers," from BCII and BYUtv, is a one-hour high-stakes reality series in which an "A-team" of experienced builders travels around the world to remote locations in significant need. By leveraging their own amazing abilities and the combined strength of the local community, they work tirelessly to complete a life-changing project and bring about radical change. From bringing electricity to an impoverished orphanage to providing a reliable source of fresh water to a community, these four "fixers" make astonishing transformations and lasting change to the places they visit: Kirin Stone, Courtney Dober (ABC's "The Bachelor Winter Games"), Nick Apostolides and Ariel Myren.

"Making Good," from Cosmic Pictures and BYUtv, is a 30-minute unscripted series chronicling one man's quest to serve. Host Kirby Heyborne ("The Three Stooges") loves helping people and eagerly volunteers for organizations regardless of the circumstances, his background or his experience. He channels enthusiasm to learn about new ways to make a difference, getting his hands dirty working side-by-side with founders of charities and non-profits who are touching lives across the United States. Along the way, he shares laughs, tears and songs with his newfound friends and learns exactly what it takes to make good.

2nd SEASON SHOWS

"Dwight in Shining Armor" is BYUtv's scripted comedy adventure series that takes place in a suburban town where Dwight, a 21st century teen, falls into an ancient, underground chamber and lands lip-to-lip with Gretta, a gothic princess who has been magically sleeping for a thousand years. Dwight's "kiss" awakens Gretta, her court magician, Baldric, as well as scores of medieval villains, and makes Dwight her de facto champion until her hordes of enemies are defeated. Sloane Morgan Siegel (Amazon Studio's "Gortimer Gibbon's Life on Normal Street"), Caitlin Carmichael ("The Good Doctor") and Joel McCrary ("The Princess Diaries") star in this hit series created by LeeAnne H. Adams and Brian J. Adams (Amazon Studio's "12 Princesses").

"Dinner Takes All" is a family cooking competition hosted by celebrity chef Kelsey Nixon (Food Network, Cooking Channel) and judged by "Queen of Country Southern Cuisine" Kardea Brown and "Yum Yum Foodie" Eddie Zamora. Two teams of five family members go head-to-head to cook their "best Sunday dinner," with winning families receiving a $10,000 cash prize. Each team uses family recipes to create an entrée, three side dishes and a dessert while simultaneously playing interactive food-centric games for bonus points. "Dinner Takes All" is from Keller/Noll ("Chopped," "Chopped Junior") and BYUtv.

The hilarious, interactive musical improv series "Show Offs" gives its cast, along with a special celebrity guest, the chance to "show off" by performing a spontaneous improvised play or musical, prompted by random ideas from the studio audience and accompanied by a live band. Hosted by comedian Casey Jost ("Late Night with Jimmy Fallon"), its cast features executive producers and co-creators Maclain Nelson ("The Saratov Approach") and Jake Van Wagoner ("Impractical Jokers"), as well as Lisa Valentine Clark ("Random Acts") and Hailey Smith ("Once I Was a Beehive"). "Show Offs" is from Kaleidoscope Pictures ("Winter Thaw," "Instrument of War"), Good Guys Productions ("The Saratov Approach," "Once I Was a Beehive") and BYUtv.

The comedic game show "Battle of the Ages" pits two multi-generational family teams against each other in mental and physical challenges. With the opportunity to pick a competitor from the opposing team and test their knowledge on a specific era, this game show will get families talking and laughing while they learn more about each other. "Battle of the Ages" is from Bill's Market & Television Productions ("Ellen's Game of Games," "Fear Factor") and BYUtv.

In addition to the shows above, BYUtv's returning original programming slate includes the long-running sketch comedy series "Studio C," which touts nearly 2 billion views on YouTube; "Relative Race," the first family-history based competitive reality show that follows four teams as they meet relatives linked by DNA for the first time in a race throughout the United States; "Random Acts," an unscripted hidden-camera reality show that highlights the altruistic nature of human beings by featuring real people who are the recipients of random acts of kindness; "Hetty Feather," a popular British children's drama series that follows the adventures and trials of an orphan living in a Victorian foundling hospital; and "Tricked," an unexpected unscripted series that is part hilarious hidden camera, part sensational magic show. BYUtv is available across the country via cable, satellite and multiple digital media platforms.
