Serial Killer Sundays
Sunday April 7 and Sunday April 14 at 22:00 America’s most horrific serial killers go under the spotlight with a series of documentaries exploring their stories – and how events unfolded. BTK: The Hunt For A Killer examines the longest-running serial killer in history whose 30-year reign of terror began in 1974 with one of the most brutal murders Wichita, Kansas had ever witnessed. The programme recounts the investigation and the impact on those affected. In Deadly Legacy, detective Jason Moran reopens the case of one of America's most notorious serial killers, 'Killer Clown' John Wayne Gacy, to finally identify the eight victims who have gone without a name for decades. Bad Henry recounts how detective Garry McFadden beat the odds to find and capture serial killer, "Bad" Henry Louis Wallace. And, Atlanta Child Murders explores a tragic chapter in the city’s history, where over a two-year period at least 29 black children and young adults from low income neighbourhoods were murdered in 1980s Atlanta.
Hometown Homicide
From Wednesday 10 April at 23:00
Using the urgency and intimacy of local news footage, this powerful series tells the stories of murder investigations that turned small towns and communities upside down. Through TV news reports, family photos, and police archive, TV reporters, family, friends, and investigators recount the stories of families and communities affected by shocking crimes. From a possible serial killer on the loose in a small southern US town after a teenage girl was found dead in her home in broad daylight, to the disappearance of a popular high school teacher in southwestern Michigan, these chilling cases proved that sometimes the smallest towns are the settings for the most horrendous crimes.
American Nightmare
From Saturday 20 April at 22:00
From weddings to graduations, the best times of our lives normally go hand in hand with our warmest memories; they are moments to cherish for a lifetime. But, as this chilling series reveals, the all-American dream can become an unspeakable nightmare. Real-life home movies and photos of joyful moments and family events lie in stark contrast to the real crime scene video and 911 calls as they become tragic murder mysteries. Featuring first- person accounts from detectives investigating the crime, as well as the victims' family and friends, the series peels back the layers of each case to reveal how the horrific events unfolded.
Betrayed
From Friday 26 April at 22:00
This series follows the lives of apparently normal people who aren't aware their days are numbered. The clock ticks on their lives, as family, friends, and lovers start to reveal hidden jealousies and wicked secrets, all leading to the ultimate betrayal - murder. Narrated from the perspective of the victims and featuring dramatic reconstructions, this series reveals how these devastating cases unfolded. The shocking murder of beautiful actress Pasinetta Prince by an obsessive and controlling ex-lover and waitress Corey Parker's death at the hands of her neighbour are amongst the chilling cases this season. Nothing is as it seems in these tragic and shocking cases of betrayal; and what the victims don't realise is the decisions they make lead them to a tragic end.

While they are away, a pair of designers and a crack team of renovators descend on each house and help the homeowners completely makeover a room to surprise their loved one upon their return.

And, as Parker learns about the gold rush history of the country, which attracted prospectors from the Klondike, he follows in the footsteps of one of the greatest explorers and prospectors of the 20th century, Mick Leahy, and learns the local mining techniques that make the present-day gold rush thrive in this stunning Pacific country.

NBCUniversal International Networks (NBCUIN) announced the acquisition of Proven Innocent, licensed from Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution, to premiere on UNIVERSAL TV (DStv channel 117) – NBCUIN’s general entertainment channel – in the UK and Africa. This new legal series tells the emotional story of one woman’s fight for the innocence of others, as well as her own. Produced by 20th Century Fox Television, in association with Danny Strong Productions, the 13 one-hour episodes will premiere in the UK and Africa, on UNIVERSAL TV (DStv channel 117) from Monday, 11 March 2019 at 20:00 CAT.
Proven Innocent follows an underdog criminal defence firm led by Madeline Scott, played by Rachelle Lefevre (Under the Dome, A Gifted Man), a fierce and uncompromising lawyer with a hunger for justice. There is no one who understands the power of setting an innocent person free more than Madeline. At age 18, she was wrongfully convicted, along with her brother, Levi Scott, played by Riley Smith (Frequency), in a sensational murder case that made her an infamous media obsession, a household name and a national cause célèbre.
Madeline runs the firm with her partner, Easy Boudreau, played by Russell Hornsby, (Seven Seconds, Grimm), the very lawyer who helped set her free after 10 years in prison. Proven Innocent also stars Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men) as investigator Bodie Quick; and Tony Award-winner Nikki M. James (BrainDead, The Good Wife, The Book of Mormon), as communications director Violet Bell who runs a true-crime podcast that follows each investigation.
While a hero and a victim to some, Madeline’s bold and bullish tactics earn her a number of enemies – especially Gore Bellows, played by Emmy Award and Golden Globe-winner Kelsey Grammer (Frasier, Cheers, Boss), the prosecutor who initially put her away and still believes in her guilt. Despite Bellows’ ceaseless quest to see her behind bars again, Madeline will continue to defend others, even as she fights to maintain her innocence and searches for the real killer in her own case.
“Proven Innocent is an emotional legal drama with justice at the heart,” commented Lee Raftery, Managing Director UK & Emerging Markets and Chief Marketing & Content Officer, NBCUniversal International. “UNIVERSAL TV viewers will be instantly gripped by the strong characters played by Rachelle Lefevre, cast in the role of hero and victim, standing boldly up against hard-as-nails attorney played by award-winning Kelsey Grammer. The subject matter is intriguing and will make exciting TV to watch.”
“We’re delighted that Proven Innocent will be on UNIVERSAL TV in the UK and Africa,”David Smyth, Senior Vice President of Sales and UK Managing Director, Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution. “Viewers are certain to be captivated by this unique new courtroom drama with a standout cast, led by Rachel Lefevre and Kelsey Grammer.”
Proven Innocent is produced by 20th Century Fox Television, in association with Danny Strong Productions. The pilot is written by David Elliot. Strong, Elliot and Stacy Greenberg are executive producers. Adam Armus is an executive producer and showrunner.

Given that Marvel has grown into becoming a pop-culture phenomenon in the country, Disney India will be launching a television destination for the brand in India. Marvel HQ will be home to all things Marvel and will be the first window to the world of Marvel for the kids in India. The channel is also a fresh new offering to the super-hero action seeking and Marvel fans across the country.
The channel aims to transport viewers into the world of epic storytelling told through inspiring characters and will reach out to kids 9+ (boys and girls) introducing them to the world of Marvel and also bring in youth and audiences who are fans of Marvel animation and the movies. The content will include animation series as well as live-action movies.
Over the last decade the popularity, affinity has been growing, we’re now seeing it transcend age groups, cities, geographies. It's a great opportunity to initiate something new with Marvel and it’s all based on the core Marvel promise of epic storytelling with human spirit. There are over 8,000 characters in the Marvel Universe being created all the time.
Marvel’s legacy is stemmed from comic books, which have historically been everyone’s first touchpoint into the Marvel Universe. But for India it has been mainly through the movies and the series.
Marvel has also been creating a strong connect through the merchandising route, with 35 million+ products sold last year at retail.
This is for the first time that a special TV destination has been created for Marvel as it allows everyone to have exposure and access, besides creating a first experience for a user.
As Devika Prabhu, Executive Director and Head - Product Media Networks, Disney India , said, “Marvel has content over different platforms, but with Disney it’s all about experience. We wanted to create a curated Marvel experience on TV. It is going to transport viewers into the world of epic storytelling told through inspiring characters. It is multidimensional, high intensity, high octane storytelling.”
Adgully caught up with Devika Prabhu to know more about the strategy behind launching Marvel branded channel. According to Prabhu, “I think with new platforms there are new opportunities for viewers to commit. The thing about Marvel storytelling and why it works in this interconnected world is because it gives new viewers an opportunity to come to the story. I don’t believe that everybody has seen everything. I believe that when you watch something curated for you, you enjoy the experience more.”
Following are excerpts from the interaction:
What’s the thought behind launching a
separate channel for Marvel?
We believe it is time for such a channel. With the Disney channel we have the kids and family angle, with Marvel it gives us the opportunity to tap into the action/adventure space. Seeing the popularity of Marvel, I think there is a need to have a base and a home front.
Usually such launches are done during the holidays or closer to school vacations. Why launch it so close to the exam season?
The launch is more about building a base over the next few months, so that by the time the summer vacations begin, the base is already there. The users would have got habituated to the content by then.
How challenging will it be to launch amid
strong, established players?
If there is a market out there that wants this
kind of content, then they will find a way to see it.
Who is your TG for Marvel HQ? Will it clash with the TG for your other kids’ channels?
The Marvel TG is everybody who loves Marvel. Having a separate platform for Marvel helps us break down the universe and help new viewers understand. That is going to be our endeavour – make Marvel HQ the platform to go to for people who love Marvel but don’t necessarily know all about it and want to know more.
What would be your content strategy for
Marvel HQ?
We are currently starting off with 40 per cent of the schedule as Marvel content accompanying the launch and as we go forward, we will think of growing that. The
thrust will be the summer season. I don’t really think viewers look at genres.
They look at the story. They don’t see a Spiderman live action movie or Spiderman animated series as separate entities.
The series will be animated, while the live action will be in the form of movies. The objective is to have a home for all things Marvel.
What is unique is the option to shoot in multiple languages, which is not something that a lot of other categories can do. We will simultaneously broadcast in 4 languages –
English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu – so viewers can choose a language of their preference.
What would be your marketing strategy for the new platform?
We have an extensive multi-media plan. Currently our focus is on creating a base for our viewers as well as a base for Marvel HQ.
Are you looking at merchandising options for India?
We are looking at consumer engagement activities and will share the details as we go forward.
Will you at localisation of the channel at some point or is Marvel at such a level that you don’t need to do so?
I think right now Marvel is at such a level that it feels local already. If you talk to anybody who has watched any Marvel movie, especially the way it is dubbed and the kind of references that are there, you will realise why it has become so prominent; it is because how we connect with it. The objective of localisation is to connect with the people.
Can we look forward to a local super-hero in the Marvel universe?
It’s a new base; right now we have got 8,000 super-heroes to manage! Marvel characters are spontaneously recalled, and most of them are high in affinity as well. Obviously, the popular ones are those who form the Avengers; everybody’s been seeing them for the last 10 years, the most popular ones being Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Spiderman. Spiderman, I think, for the longest time has been the first Marvel super-hero in India and a lot of us grew up with him.
What have been the significant viewership trends in the kids’ genre in 2018?
Kids like to be surprised, they like new concepts, they want to see a lot of things that surprise them – something unexpected, something to do with today’s technology pounded into a wall that they understand, and they are very happy to keep watching what they love. Kids need aspirational characters, someone they want to look up to – negative or positive, it doesn’t matter. They want someone to emulate, someone to be when they role play. It’s all about role play for kids, especially those below the age of 8, where they adopt the persona. Therefore, they need characters that they can connect with.
Do you think OTT has become the first screen of choice in single TV homes, where the mobile becomes the platform for viewership?
Kids will watch content wherever it is made available to them. So, it really depends on what their dynamics are and where they are.
Kids adapt very well, so it’s unlikely to change. Having said that, television is still the biggest platform of reach in the country. If you want to build something, if you want to reach out to everyone, and linear platforms are your answer.
As far as OTT programming for Marvel HQ channel goes, at this point in time we are considering it as a linear platform.
Alaskan Bush People
From Wednesday 13 March at 20:00
Deep in the Alaskan wilderness an incredible family was born and raised wild. Billy Brown, his wife Ami and their seven grown children - five boys and two girls - are so far removed from civilisation that they often go six to nine months of the year without seeing an outsider. They've developed their own accent and dialect, refer to themselves as a "wolf pack," and at night, all nine members of the family sleep together in a one-room cabin. Simply put, they are unlike any other family in America. There are new beginnings on the horizon after the first of the wolf pack, Noah, gets married; how is the family faring with a new member?
Tigerland
From Sunday 31 March at 20:00
One of largest predators on the planet, tigers are now sadly also one of the most endangered. In the last few decades, there has been a massive reduction in their numbers in the wild: from over 100,000 to less than 4000 today, and they are all at risk. In an attempt to reverse this decline, the countries where the last tigers roam have committed to an ambitious program of conservation that will hopefully see their numbers double by 2022 - the next Chinese year of the Tiger. In this compelling documentary, the conservationists and local populations of India and Bhutan detail their efforts and reveal the progress made in this difficult task. It's humans who put tigers on the brink of extinction, but perhaps it will also be humans who save them.
American Chopper (2018)
From Friday 29 March at 20:00
After their family-destroying argument over a decade ago, father and son custom motorcycle builders Paul Teutul Sr. and Paul Teutul Jr. have managed to rebuild a tentative relationship. They still run their separate shops, but occasionally they will come together to build something special. After working so hard to restore it, the Yankee bike they built together is ready to be unveiled - is it the first of many more? Or will the old anger rise again and put a halt to their joint engineering? Meanwhile, they are both still working on their own projects in their own shops. Paul Sr takes on a warrior-style motorcycle build for the founder of the Spartan Race extreme obstacle course competition, while Paul Jr. builds a wild west- inspired motorcycle for country music star Clay Walker's charity. Whether it's together or apart, either way the Teutuls continue to make some of the most exciting and best designed custom motorcycles in the world.
