"At the heart of our April premieres are personal real stories told by people who endured life changing events, some of them while under the intense scrutiny of the public eye and in the court of public opinion while others clashed with law enforcement to tragic ends for their communities," said Steve Cheskin, SVP of Programming at REELZ. "From the high-profile media tsunami that overtook Roseanne to the brutal contributions of Perrion Roberts and Larry Hoover through their violent criminal enterprises these new stories are unflinching looks at the real lives impacted by their fateful decisions."

The April 2022 lineup begins Saturday, April 2 with the REELZ premiere of real-life series Jail with 10 back-to-back episodes starting at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT following inmates from initial booking to their first moments behind bars giving viewers an eye-opening look at the rough reality of being locked up. Every Saturday in April features 10 episodes of Jail making their REELZ premieres starting at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT. The following day on Sunday, April 3 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT it's The Jackson 5: Breaking the Band exploring the intra-family dynamics of the group that sold more than 100 million records, changed the pop music landscape and introduced the world to Michael Jackson. But beneath the wholesome bubble gum image there was a dark side. There was also betrayal, jealousy and catastrophe. Michael Jackson's breakout story is echoed by another standout and stellar artist in pop superstar Prince. The Revolution was a band that sprang from his mind that grew bigger than he could have ever imagined. They conquered the world and became stars in their own rite but Prince had a deep lust for control over every aspect of the band and it threatened to destroy everything. In Prince and The Revolution: Breaking the Band on Sunday, April 3 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT former collaborators share stories of his insatiable need to succeed, his uncompromising methods and obsessive approach to everything he touched.

The sinister Chicago-based street and prison gang the Gangster Disciples became infamous for its incredible size and corporate structure with Larry Hoover at the top. Hoover organized 30,000 members selling more than $100 million in drugs a year in Chicago alone. Now in Gangsters: America's Most Evil "Larry Hoover King of the Gangsters" on Tuesday, April 5 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT hear from the attorneys who prosecuted him as well as Hoover's own attorney who tell the story of a man who some say was a blessing to the city while others know him for his murderous schemes and flooding the streets with drugs and crime. From the rough streets of Chicago to the dark underbelly Boston the two-part, four-hour Bloody Boston delves deep into the city's ruthless tribal world that spanned four decades from the 1950s-1990s that included the notorious Winter Hill Gang. In Bloody Boston: A Mob is Born (Part 1) on Tuesday, April 5 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT and Bloody Boston: Deal with the Devil (Part 2) Tuesday, April 12 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT four former Winter Hill Gang members and associates tell all in an exclusive roundtable discussion sharing their experiences of the chaos and what they really think about infamous Boston bad guy Whitey Bulger.

In 1977 five working class boys from England had ambitions to make money playing rock and roll. Now celebrating their 45th anniversary since the band started Def Leppard has become one of the biggest bands in history with more than 100 million records sold. But their success came amidst tragedies that nearly destroyed the band and in Def Leppard: Breaking the Band on Sunday, April 10 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT see their remarkable story with first-hand accounts from those who were with the band in their darkest days. Just a year before Def Leppard formed a little band from Texas set off on a tour so ambitious it would take them to the brink of destruction. The ZZ Top World Wide Texas Tour included live buffalo, longhorn cattle, snakes and vultures to bring a little bit of Texas wherever they went but after 15 months the band was burned out and called it quits only to come storming back in epic fashion. On Sunday, April 10 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT ZZ Top: Breaking the Band presents the story of one of the most iconic bands in history as told by their producer and tour manager who were there from the start.

They were a band of New Jersey rockers who were fun, talented and indulged in the fruits if their fame but they were not equals. They had a leader with an iron grip and for years it made the band Bon Jovi a massive success but it's ultimately what tore them apart. On Sunday, April 17 Bon Jovi: Breaking the Band at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT tells the story of the band with the motto "we live nowhere and play everywhere" until the relentless pursuit of success jeopardized their future. In her own quest for a different type of success Perrion Roberts didn't fit the mold of a crime queenpin. Growing up she was a church going daddy's girl who attended college and worked as a fashion model until she was known as the Black Widow due to her ruthless, cold blooded and deadly approach to running the biggest drug operation in Huntsville Alabama. Now in Gangsters: America's Most Evil "The Black Widow Perrion Roberts" on Tuesday, April 19 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT hear from Roberts herself as she discusses her many devious deeds, the irony of feeling relieved after finally being caught and her work now to help prevent others from making the same mistakes she did. As a repeat offender Kansas City criminal Shauntay Henderson might have benefited from Roberts' advice but the two never crossed paths. On Tuesday, April 19 at 9pm ET/6pm PT Gangsters: America's Most Evil "Shauntay Henderson: Most Wanted" features an exclusive jailhouse interview with only the eighth woman in 57 years to make the FBI's Most Wanted list as Henderson tells her side of her story. Henderson describes her love for the street life that ultimately landed her behind bars, how she earned the nickname "Two Guns" and her ominous change of heart for the judge who once gave her a light sentence for a shooting that killed a rival drug dealer.

April 2022 premieres wrap with three back-to-back new original stories starting with Roseanne: Kicked Out of Hollywood on Sunday, April 24 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT. In a career spanning more than four decades Roseanne earned fame on her own terms with her caustic wit and working class attitude that made her a trailblazing comic and a star of her own sitcom. She was a rule breaker who never played it safe but with her show at its peak Roseanne tweeted 18 scandalous words that crushed her comeback and got her kicked out of Hollywood. Now in an in-depth and personal account from Roseanne herself as well as her comic colleagues Mo'Nique and Howie Mandel this candid special shows the rise, superstardom and cancel culture casualty of America's Domestic Goddess. The target of a different type of media storm Lorena Gallo (formerly Bobbitt) made headlines for years after she committed an unthinkable crime that stunned and captivated an entire nation. One shocking act of violence ensured that she would be known for the rest of her life but there was much more to the story as Lorena herself reveals in the new original special Lorena: Escaping Bobbitt on Sunday, April 24 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT. Lorena shares her story of reclaiming her life and moving forward as most of the world saw her as a villain or a punchline. Lorena also sits down with Amanda Knox to share their experiences of being at the center of intense public attention. In a shocking twist to another sensational story that made headlines Sherri Papini was recently found to have completely fabricated her 2016 kidnapping story. Now the new original special Sherri Papini's Abduction: REELZ Investigates on Sunday, April 24 at 10pm ET/ 7pm PT unravels the Papini story as it unfolded leaving her family and the town of Redding California on edge after her mysterious disappearance and seemingly miraculous return 22 days later garnered national attention and left investigators baffled for years as the case was rife with twists and turns that simply didn't add up all for a deceptively sinister reason.

Law enforcement says tens of thousands of gang soldiers continued to work for Hoover in Chicago and other cities answering ultimately to a corporate-style board that Hoover led as the undisputed chairman. Hoover's name continues to be controversial as many Chicago residents feel he was a role model to the community while others bemoan his criminal contributions.

Now in the two-part, four-hour documentary Bloody Boston go inside the city's crime battlefield starting in the 1950s with a heist so big and bold it would be known as the Crime of the Century, the violent Irish Gang War of the 1960s, the rise of Bulger in the 1970s, the transatlantic gun running operation and armored car heists of the 1980s and the reckoning in the 1990s when indictments finally started coming down. With unprecedented access to former Winter Hill Gang members and associates they share first-hand accounts of the chaos from outlandish criminal schemes, hit attempts on their lives, the rules of the streets, the peace deals between gangs and what they really think about infamous Boston bad guy Whitey Bulger.

Bloody Boston is produced by Aerolite Films and Half Yard Productions LLC, a Red Arrow Studios company.

Def Leppard: Breaking the Band premieres on Sunday, April 10 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT. With more than 100 million records sold worldwide Def Leppard is one of the biggest bands in music history. Comprised of five working class boys from England who left their factory town in search of fame and fortune the band changed the sound of rock music and through hard work and determination they earned fame and great riches. But with the highs came terrible tragedies and self destruction until they were hanging on by a thread. Drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident at the age of 21 and against all odds learned to play with one hand. Then guitarist and musical genius Steve Clark lost his battle with addiction a few years later at just 30 years old. Def Leppard was broken by the loss of Clark but they forged ahead releasing several more successful albums and continued touring to sold out arenas for years to come.

ZZ Top: Breaking the Band premieres on Sunday, April 10 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT. ZZ Top is one of the most iconic rock bands of all time. Their unique sense of humor combined with catchy heavy rock songs made them stars and their brand of rock coalesced just as MTV took off helping to make them megastars. Known in the 1970s as That Little Ol' Band from Texas the blues rockers struggled to gain national recognition. Drug addiction, exhaustion and in-fighting between the three musicians threatened to destroy the band. But a change of musical direction and a bold new look with the addition of those iconic long beards sparked their breakthrough and their 1982 classic album "Eliminator" became legendary selling more than 10 million copies while spawning massive hit singles like "Gimme All Your Lovin'" and "Sharp Dressed Man". Out of fame and fortune came further division over the band's new sound and an even greater threat to their future. Helping to tell the ZZ Top story is their tour manager JW Williams who was there in 1973 when the then unknown band opened for The Rolling Stones as well as the band's top producer and chief engineer for 17 years in Terry Manning who discusses the changes in their sound and style that brought success and conflict.

Bon Jovi: Breaking the Band premieres on Sunday, April 17 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT.

Their top-selling album "Slippery When Wet" reinvented hard rock for a wider and younger audience while turning the New Jersey rockers into global superstars. They were young, fun and good looking but behind the carefree image the band's namesake and frontman Jon Bon Jovi became a controlling leader with an iron grip who would stop at nothing to ensure its survival. Those who forgot his rules or requirements were replaced. The brand became bigger than the band and Bon Jovi was intent on pushing the limits with grueling non-stop touring and legendary partying that would eventually strain band members to the point of no return. Sharing his experience as songwriter for massive Bon Jovi hits including "You Give Love a Bad Name" and "Livin' on a Prayer" is Desmond Child while the band's head of security Danny Francis sheds light on their off stage shenanigans and his relationship with Jon.

Once she was in the care of her grandmother a young Henderson was drawn to a life of gangs and drug trafficking. Known in the streets as "Two Guns" her penchant for fist fighting turned into using firearms and a love for high-speed police chases helped contribute to her status as a violent criminal with no regrets about her past.

Roseanne: Kicked Out of Hollywood premieres Sunday, April 24 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT. Bold and brash Roseanne Barr was a trailblazing stand-up comic who rocked the comedy world in the mid-1980s and went on to become a Hollywood megastar with her own top-rated long running sitcom that she originally wrote based on her own life. She did it again with another hit show years later but after a controversial tweet her top rated comeback was canceled and the comedy legend's career was derailed. Now in a candid new interview the comedy legend gives an in depth and personal account of her life and career, that infamous tweet and her experience of the rapid and volatile banishment from Hollywood that followed.

Lorena: Escaping Bobbitt premieres on Sunday, April 24 at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT. After Lorena Bobbitt snapped and cut off her husband John Wayne Bobbitt's penis with a kitchen knife in 1993 the extensive abuse she had endured from him seemed to sail into that empty field along with the infamous severed organ. Her trauma would barely be an afterthought of the sordid story in the eyes of the public. Remarkably candid revelations from Lorena detail her life inside the hurricane of national attention. And a powerful one-on-one conversation with Amanda Knox enables Lorena to compare the most dramatic kind of notes with another woman who had her life hijacked and redefined by a media frenzy. In addition to Lorena being transparent about the abuse she suffered during her marriage she also reveals that John continues to harass her. Decades after the crime that launched a million punchlines Lorena is now reclaiming her narrative by giving a powerful voice to the traumatic parts of her story that the media and public largely ignored. The world is finally beginning to truly understand that there were two victims in the apartment that night and her story is one of survival and transformation. There was much more to the Bobbitt saga than what the tabloids and late-night comics made people believe. And there's so much more to the woman at the heart of all the cheap jokes and bitter drama. Lorena: Escaping Bobbitt is produced by AMS Pictures.
