Exclusive: Lifetime is expanding its unscripted slate with three new original series set to air on the newly dubbed Life & Crime Mondays. The shows are #TextMeWhenYouGetHome; Meet Marry Murder and Phrogging: Hider in My House, along with UK import Sleeping with a Killer.
Lifetime’s push in true crime unscripted series is not surprising. The network already has a longstanding tradition with true crime-based original movies. Additionally, true crime docuseries attract largely female audiences that are at the core of Lifetime’s target demo. That is the reason NBCU’s female-focused channel Oxygen has leaned so heavily into the genre with its original lineup.
Life & Crime Mondays will kick off with #TextMeWhenYouGetHome and Sleeping with a Killer airing June 6th, at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., respectively. Phrogging: Hider in My House and Meet Marry Murder will debut later this summer.

Dwyane Wade has promised tougher games after The Cube was renewed for a second season by TBS.
The WarnerMedia-owned cabler is bringing back the game show, which is based on ITV’s British series, after its initial run between June and September last year.
In The Cube, pairs of contestants are forced to compete in a series of challenges while inside a small Perspex cube. It highlights how even straightforward tasks like catching, throwing, estimating, memorizing and balancing were more difficult when confined and under pressure in a small area surrounded by a large, live studio audience.
Working on their own or as a team, each pair has nine lives to complete seven games that are worth an increasing amount of money as they inch closer to taking home a $250,000 jackpot.
In addition to the Simplify assist and the One Shot assist that allows teams the opportunity to call...

CBS is getting into wordplay.
The network has ordered a primetime game show reboot of long-running format Lingo with RuPaul Charles to host.
The series, which will premiere this year, is a cross between bingo and a word guessing game.

The game sees teams of two contestants face off in fast-paced puzzle rounds to guess letters that reveal seemingly simple words. At the end of each one-hour episode, the two winning teams will make it through to a final showdown where one will walk away with an additional big cash prize.

Exclusive: The general wisdom is that the United States mainland was not attacked during World War II.
However, a new documentary launching on Discovery+, from Objective Media Group America, highlights that this isn’t technically true.
The streamer has ordered Great Balloon Bomb Invasion, a history special that will lift the lid on a relatively lesser known attack on U.S. soil by the Japanese.
Between 1944 and 1945, the Japanese launched more than 9,000 bomb-rigged balloons across the Pacific, resulting in six deaths in Oregon.
The ‘Fu-Go’ bombs reached as far east as Indiana and as far south as Texas, but only 300 have ever been found, leaving potentially thousands of bombs scattered across the country. In the doc, for the first time ever, an investigation is launched into the hidden history of this attack, with a high-tech hunt for the unexploded remnants.

2020 will almost certainly go down as the year reality dating shows went too far. So, naturally, HBO Max is offering one more just in time for the holiday season featuring snow-covered lakes, cozy winter clothing and drama.
The winter-themed “12 Dates of Christmas” hails from “Love Is Blind” executive producer Sam Dean and features three “hopelessly romantic singles” as they journey to meet that special someone to bring home for the holidays at a fairytale castle in Austria. “Insecure” star Natasha Rothwell narrates the series, which promises magical wintery dates “from ugly sweater parties and an intriguing masquerade ball to après-ski activities.”
The first three episodes will premiere on the streaming service on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 26, with three more to follow on Dec. 3 and the final two on Dec. 10.
Here is HBO Max’s full description of the series:

Exclusive: High-intensity British game show The Cube is coming to America. WarnerMedia has handed the show, which comes from All3Media-owned producer Objective Media Group, a 10-part series order. NBA legend and former Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade will host and executive produce.
However, in a slightly unusual move, the company has yet to decide which of its networks or digital platforms the U.S. remake will air on. It was ordered by Corie Henson, EVP and head of unscripted programming for TBS, TNT and truTV, who is expected to make a decision closer to its 2021 premiere date.
This comes after Deadline revealed that the game show was being brought back in the UK by ITV. The British network is raising the jackpot for the new version of the show to £1 million in its five-part series, produced by Objective label Wildcard Television.
