NEW SERIES “KIDDIE KAI” PREMIERES TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6

Posted on by Danielle Langer





NEW SERIES “KIDDIE KAI” PREMIERES TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 EXCLUSIVELY ON DISCOVERY+

‘Kiddie Kai’ Trailer:

In a region of the southeast United States, lies a legendary martial arts hot spot known simply as The Blackbelt Byway. There are dojos on nearly every corner – welcoming kids of all backgrounds to train to be blackbelts. But in an area where every dojo claims to be the best and every parent wants their kid to train with the top sensei, the competition is fierce. While some of us seek out pastors, rabbis, or priests for guidance, in this community of martial arts families, their instructors’ word is law. For the families whose children participate in martial arts, it’s more than an after-school activity and much more than a sport, it’s a way of life. And for the kids who are inspired to learn the ways of their sensei, it’s a chance to prove to themselves, and to others, that they have the confidence and discipline to be their best selves. And kick some major butt.

In the all-new series KIDDIE KAI, rivalries and long-standing feuds all culminate into epic showdowns. Rivals Sifu Mark Williams, World Champion Mr. John Chung, Shihan Cliff Kinchen, and Sensei Jeff McGregor all made a name for themselves in the 80s and 90s, and now is their chance to prove, once and for all, whether they are still deserving of their titles. From brand new gi to martial arts glory, which dojos will live up to their reputations and create the next generation of champions?

FOOD NETWORK AND HGTV WRAP PRODUCTION ON FOUR SCRIPTED HOLIDAY FEATURES FOR DISCOVERY+

The New Holiday Features Will Showcase Fan-Favorite Network Stars Including Ben and Erin Napier, Bobby Flay, Duff Goldman, and Hilary Farr

NEW YORK – August 17, 2022 – Food Network and HGTV have wrapped production on four all-new holiday features that include cameos from top network talent including Ben and Erin Napier, Bobby Flay, Duff Goldman, and Hilary Farr. All four titles are slated to premiere on Friday, November 11th on the discovery+ streaming platform. Food Network debuted its first-ever scripted feature, Candy Coated Christmas with Ree Drummond last November, and this year tapped primetime favorites Bobby Flay and Duff Goldman for two new scripted holiday titles, One Delicious Christmas, and A Gingerbread Christmas respectively. The two Food Network stars also will delight viewers with new holiday programming on-air this winter. This year mark’s HGTV’s first foray into scripted holiday offerings, showcasing two of their fan-favorite stars with Love it or List It’s Hilary Farr in Designing Christmas and Home Town’s Ben and Erin Napier making their scripted, holiday-feature debut in A Christmas Open House.

“The holidays are huge for HGTV and Food Network, which together attracted 90 million seasonal viewers last year,” said Kathleen Finch, Chairman and Chief Content Officer, US Networks Group at Warner Bros. Discovery. “So we expanded our offerings and produced four scripted holiday features for discovery+, each showcasing some of the biggest personalities on Food Network and HGTV. We will promote them to approximately 35% of the available cable audience by running spots on HGTV, Food, and the rest of the WBD portfolio of 25+ cable networks, exposing our great talent to even more potential fans.”

Adds MarVista’s SVP Creative Affairs, Larry Grimaldi, “We are thrilled to partner once again with Food Network, and now HGTV, along with their phenomenal fan-favorite talent on four holiday films. MarVista’s passion and expertise in creating festive feel-good holiday stories, along-side Food Network and HGTV’s entertaining lifestyle content provide the gift that will keep on giving this holiday season!”

A Christmas Open House

Melissa Norwood (Katie Stevens) is an ambitious Atlanta property stager who teams with her old high school crush, David Phelps (Victor Rasuk), to sell her newly married mom’s home in their small Georgia home town. The place is cozy but hasn’t been updated in decades, so the two join up to renovate the place before a couple of wealthy potential buyers are due to see the house on Christmas Eve. Melissa would love to spend a portion of her budget on a few custom projects created by a unique couple, Henry and Sarah Wright (Ben and Erin Napier), who are gifted at small town home restoration and appreciate the legacy of a family home. Henry is a master woodworker and custom furniture builder, and Sarah is an artist with an expertise in color and transformative design choices. As Christmas approaches and the tensions grow, so does a romantic relationship between Melissa and David, but the fact that Melissa intends to return to Atlanta and start her own business with the cash she will get from the property sale, while David has no intention of leaving his home town, could be a deal breaker for their new relationship. Directed by Emily Moss Wilson and starring Katie Stevens, Victor Rasuk, Bobbi Eakes, with HGTV’s Erin and Ben Napier, A Christmas Open House is produced by MarVista Entertainment.

Designing Christmas

For the past six years, interior designer, Stella (Jessica Szohr), and contractor, Pablo (Marco Grazzini), have charmed homeowners and viewers alike as co-hosts of the renovation show, House Sweet Home, by relying on their expertise and palpable on-screen chemistry despite not being an actual couple. After the owners of the home slated for their upcoming holiday episode pull out, Pablo and the HSH team convince Stella to be their next client in hopes of saving the episode and the show itself. This has a trepidatious Stella not only agreeing to renovate her family’s Victorian home with Pablo (aka The Sledgehammer), but also moving her impending nuptials to fiancé, Jack (Mykee Selkin), up several months in a bid to make this their biggest and best episode yet. As Stella and Pablo labor together more closely than ever before to bring her family’s beloved home back from a state of disrepair in time for the Christmas Eve ceremony, Stella confides in her mentor Freddy (Hilary Farr) about the complicated and unexplored feelings that could jeopardize everything. Directed by Pat Mills and starring Jessica Szohr, Marco Grazzini, Mykee Selkin, Leighton Williams, Fiona Highet, Eugene Clark, Nicole Power, with HGTV’s Hilary Farr, Designing Christmas is produced by MarVista Entertainment in association with Neshama Entertainment.

A Gingerbread Christmas

After a devastating workplace development throws Hazel Stanley’s (Tiya Sircar) job prospects as a full-time architect into question, she leaves NYC to spend the holidays with her father Ted (Sugith Varughese) in her suburban Chicago home town. While there, she discovers that the family bakery is even worse off than she imagined, having been on the decline since the passing of her mother. And to add insult to injury, her former best friend Shelby (Kyana Teresa) has opened a trendy new bake shop across the street. When all seems to be lost, she gets the idea to enter a Gingerbread house competition led by homegrown food celebrity Mark Clemmons (Duff Goldman) offering a $100k prize – enough to get the ailing bakery back on track. While working on her magnificent cookie edifice, a romance begins to bloom with a local contractor James Meadows (Marc Bendavid) who – along with his daughter – has been helping her father out by lending his baking prowess to the place while trying to fix it up in his spare time. A series of frustrations and misunderstandings threaten to tear them apart, but will the magic of the holiday lead everyone to have a Merry Christmas? Directed by Pat Kiley, and starring Tiya Sircar, Marc Bendavid, Sugith Varughese, Kyana Teresa, Karen Glave, Fereshteh Samimi, Maja Vujicic, with Food Network’s Duff Goldman, A Gingerbread Christmas is produced by MarVista Entertainment in association with Neshama Entertainment.

One Delicious Christmas

The future of Vermont culinary destination, Haven Restaurant and Inn, rests squarely on the shoulders of Abby Richmond, (Vanessa Marano) who inherited the property from her parents. Unfortunately, managing both the restaurant and the inn is a 24/7 commitment, leaving no time for Abby to have a personal life. Her best hope is to secure an investment from restaurant mogul Alexandra Grantham (Kathy Maloney), who would provide much needed resources and guidance. But to do so, she’ll have to navigate rough waters after top food critic, Tom Kingsley, (Bobby Flay) visits Haven and gives Alexandra his menu feedback. Hot shot chef Preston Weaver (Alex Mallari, Jr) is brought in by Alexandra to “shake up” the holiday menu after Abby unexpectedly loses her longtime chef. Unbeknownst to Preston, the menu was curated by Abby’s late father, and she’s having a tough time letting go of it. Despite their undeniable chemistry, will they be able to put aside their differences in time for Alexandra and Tom’s Christmas Eve dinner visit, which will determine whether she invests in Haven or not? Directed by Stacy N. Harding, and starring Vanessa Marano, Alex Mallari Jr., Elana Dunkleman, and Food Network’s Bobby Flay, One Delicious Christmas is produced by MarVista Entertainment in association with Neshama Entertainment.

Executive producers for all four features are Larry Grimaldi, Hannah Pillemer and Fernando Szew for MarVista Entertainment, and Sheri Singer. Executive Producers from Neshama Entertainment (for three of the four features) are Suzanne Berger and Arnie Zipursky. Additional executive producers include Megan Ellstrom (A Christmas Open House, A Gingerbread Christmas) and Danielle von Zerneck (Designing Christmas). .

[via press release from TLC]
’90 DAY: THE SINGLE LIFE’ RETURNS FOR ITS THIRD SEASON, PREMIERING MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH ON TLC AND DISCOVERY+

Los Angeles, Calif. – Some of the most-talked about names in the 90 Day universe will embark on a mission to prove that when one door closes, another opens. THE SINGLE LIFE premieres Monday, September 12th at 8PM ET/PT on TLC and will be available the same day on discovery+, the definitive non-fiction, real-life subscription streaming service.

On the brand new season of THE SINGLE LIFE, viewers will follow six determined singles who are diving back into the world of romance after their failed international relationships. Tackling relationship challenges ranging from commitment-phobia to meddling matchmakers to ever-present ex-boyfriends, these six singles are taking another chance on love.

As they re-enter the dating game, these singles will be thrown their fair share of curveballs. Will their budding romances hit it out of the park or, will they strike out once again? Season three will feature the following six singles:

Debbie, 69 (Las Vegas, Nevada) Most recently featured in The Single Life Season 2

Debbie’s dive back into the dating pool last season on THE SINGLE LIFE may have been a royal flop, but the 69-year-old widow isn’t ready to give up on romance just yet. Single and ready to mingle, Debbie continues her search for a partner who sees her for who she truly is: a fun, loving, kind-hearted woman who dreams of falling in love all over again. Debbie won’t let a few failed dates get her down and with her relationship still on the rocks with her son Colt, she could use the support of a romantic partner now more than ever.

Caesar, 49 (Jacksonville, North Carolina) Most recently featured in Before The 90 Days Season 3

90 Day fans’ favorite nail tech, Caesar, returns to the franchise in pursuit of true love – and this time he’s not going to stop until he finds Mrs. Right. After a failed 5-year online relationship, Caesar is looking for a woman who’s after his heart, not his wallet. With his 50th birthday around the corner, Caesar feels that time is ticking to find the woman of his dreams. Enlisting the help of a professional matchmaker in Kyiv, Caesar is determined to make his next romance stick.

Natalie, 37 (St. Petersburg, Florida) Most recently featured in The Single Life Season 2

Since leaving her estranged husband Michael, self-described “love needy” Natalie has been on the hunt for a man with whom she can start the family she’s always wanted. An aspiring model, Natalie moved to Florida where she fell for a handsome entrepreneur, who happens to run a modeling agency. The only catch: he already has children of his own from multiple women. Will the pair’s magnetic attraction conquer all or will their baggage prove too much to bear – leaving Natalie back at square one?

Veronica, 36 (Charlotte, North Carolina) Most recently featured in 90 Day: Pillow Talk

After several years of singlehood, 36-year-old Veronica is ready to make her dating scene debut once again. While 90 Day fans fell in love with her fiery personality, potential suitors find it hard to look past the fact that Veronica’s ex-fiance, Tim, is still in the picture because he’s not only her best friend but a father figure to her daughter. As a single mother struggling to find a man who will accept her ex-boyfriend turned bestie, Veronica fears that she’ll end up alone with no one but her cats to keep her company.

Tania, 32 (Colchester, Connecticut) Most recently featured in Happily Ever After Season 5

Free-spirited Tania has traded Connecticut for the scenic beaches of Aruba in the hopes of mending her broken heart. Tania still has a lot to process after ending her marriage to ex-husband Syngin over his disinterest in starting a family, but she’s ready to give moving on the old college try. As she searches the tropics for someone to fill the void left by her lost love, Tania decides to widen her net. She’s open to meeting men, women or any friend who will help her move on from her ex.

Tiffany, 30 (Frederick, Maryland) Most recently featured in Happily Ever After Season 6

The new and improved Tiffany is ready to get back in the dating game after separating from her South African husband, Ronald. With the help of a weight loss surgery, Tiffany 2.0’s confidence is at an all-time high and she is searching for someone who loves her kids as much as she does. She is craving a new romance, but moving on from the man that she spent the last 6 years of her life with will prove more difficult than she anticipated.

“HOUSE OF HAMMER” DOCUSERIES OFFERS AN EXPLOSIVE INSIDE LOOK AT THE DOWNFALL OF ARMIE HAMMER AND REVEALS A LEGACY OF DARK SECRETS HIDDEN WITHIN THE HAMMER DYNASTY

-All three parts will premiere Friday, September 2 on discovery+-

(New York, N.Y.) – HOUSE OF HAMMER, the highly anticipated discovery+ docuseries chronicling the deeply troubling accusations leveled against critically acclaimed actor Armie Hammer and the dark, twisted legacy of the Hammer dynasty, will be available to stream on Friday, September 2. Featuring exclusive access and shocking revelations, the documentary takes viewers inside the Hammer family’s dark power plays over the course of three revealing hours.

“The accusations of rape and abuse brought against Armie Hammer in the last few years are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Hammer family. With HOUSE OF HAMMER, we witness truly disturbing details and sinister secrets that money and power couldn’t hide forever,” said Jason Sarlanis, President of Crime and Investigative Content, Linear and Streaming. “This documentary provides an important platform for the incredibly courageous women who came forward to share their stories, and we hope their courage inspires others to continue meaningful conversations around abuse in our society.”

Hammer’s meteoric rise to fame came crashing down as victims came forward with disturbing stories of bondage, cannibalism fantasies, branding and that was just the beginning. The rape and abuse allegations brought against Armie Hammer in 2021 shocked Hollywood insiders and fans across the globe. This docuseries begins in 2020 at the peak of Hammer’s rise to fame. Featuring exclusive revelations from Armie’s aunt, Casey Hammer, and multiple survivors of Armie’s alleged abuse, the docuseries brings to light the dark secrets – ranging from accusations of violence and abuse to political manipulation and financial fraud – hidden within one of America’s most prominent families.

Each episode will shine a light on a depraved pattern of abuse that extends far beyond the accusations brought against the disgraced actor. Coupled with a trove of incredible archival footage, HOUSE OF HAMMER weaves together a chilling story of the dysfunction and wickedness that grow behind decades of power and money.

HOUSE OF HAMMER is directed by Elli Hakami and Julian P. Hobbs for discovery+. Casey Hammer serves as a consultant.

‘GOOD BONES’ STAR MINA STARSIAK HAWK GETS SOLO SPIN-OFF SERIES ‘GOOD BONES: RISKY BUSINESS’ ON HGTV

New York [August 10, 2022] Good Bones renovation dynamo Mina Starsiak Hawk will take on the biggest, riskiest renovation challenge of her career in her own spin-off series, Good Bones: Risky Business. Premiering Tuesday, September 6, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HGTV and discovery+, the six-episode series will feature Mina boldly going solo to purchase the historic Sanders House in the Indianapolis neighborhood of Fountain Square. More than a century old, the 7,000 square-foot property – which includes the main home and a carriage house – will be the largest project Mina has ever tackled in terms of size and budget and will require precise restoration to return it to its former glory.

“I’ve been renovating homes for more than a decade, taking on some of the nastiest houses you can imagine,” said Mina. “Now I’m taking on my dream project, turning a massive Victorian-style property into a bed and breakfast/event space, but it could easily become a nightmare. It’s a huge risk, but I love a challenge!”

In the premiere episode, Mina will strategize how to manage the pricey renovation without breaking the budget and then will roll up her sleeves to get things started. Throughout the series, she must adjust to working with a whole new team, deal with an array of unexpected costs and power through the inevitable challenges that come with updating very old construction. Above all, Mina will fearlessly put every ounce of her home reno expertise on the line in hopes of making each big risk pay off with big rewards.

“I’m so excited that viewers are going to be able to join me on this adventure,” added Mina.

Fans also are invited to stay connected with Good Bones: Risky Business and Good Bones on HGTV’s digital platforms at HGTV.com/GoodBones and by using #GoodBones on HGTV’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
