Tune-in to the upcoming #TextMeWhenYouGetHome marathons on Lifetime for a chance to binge-watch the much-talked-about crime show – before its season finale!

#TextMeWhenYouGetHome became a viral, worldwide movement following the 2021 death of Sarah Everard in the UK. The hashtag sparked global awareness, anger and a conversation around the vulnerability and lack of safety women feel while in public alone. In this gripping, true-crime docuseries, each episode follows the case of an innocent woman who has been abducted, harmed or even murdered by someone on what was an otherwise average day in her life. These stories are told through emotional interviews; accompanied by stylistic recreations, actual texts, phone records and other digital breadcrumbs that authorities used to solve the case. Unfolding as a whodunnit, all suspects are explored until the actual perpetrator is caught. In several episodes, survivors of these harrowing sagas will be revealed to tell their story, in their own words.

Posted on by Danielle Langer





SPECIAL ‘AMERICAN GREED’ MARATHONS TO AIR ON CNBC ON FRIDAY, JUNE 3 AND WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8

CNBC’s Longest-Running Primetime Original Series, Recently Nominated for a Critics’ Choice Real TV Award, to Run Back-to-Back Encore Episodes from 8pm-12am ET

MARATHON TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ENCORE EPISODES FROM RECENT SEASON 15:

All Times In ET

Friday, June 3:

8 PM THE LIFE & CRIMES OF JOEL GREENBERG

Joel Greenberg is a privileged millennial from a rich Florida family who one day decides to run for Seminole County Tax Collector – and wins. Once in office he embarks on a breathtaking series of crimes, ranging from fraud to sex trafficking. Eventually the Feds set their sights on him – and it quickly becomes clear that his case may be bigger and stranger than anyone had imagined.

9 PM THERANOS CEO ON TRIAL

American Greed reveals fresh details about one of the most infamous alleged corporate fraud cases of the 21st century – Theranos, and the blockbuster trial of founder and former CEO Elizabeth Holmes. Former employees, whistleblowers, and even a family friend-turned-foe provide new insights into the company’s leadership and the mysterious long-term relationship between Holmes and her top deputy, Sunny Balwani.

10 PM HOW WEWORK WENT WILD

Inside the astonishing rise and near-collapse of WeWork, the office space start-up co-founded by its polarizing former CEO, Adam Neumann. Called one of the greatest salesmen of all time, Neumann mesmerizes venture capitalists with grandiose promises to “elevate the world’s consciousness” – even though WeWork is less high-tech wonder than traditional real estate leasing business. Investors put in an eye-popping $12 billion… then largely turn a blind eye as Neumann’s behavior becomes erratic and the company approaches the brink of bankruptcy.

11 PM THE BIGGEST THEFT OF ALL TIME?

Jho Low may be one of the biggest partiers that New York and L.A. have ever seen – he hangs with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx, buys his own movie studio, and dates Victoria’s Secret models. He’s also accused of being one of the biggest thieves the world has ever seen. Authorities say he’s the mastermind of an international scheme to steal over $4 billion from the government of Malaysia. American Greed unmasks this man of mystery and uncovers fresh details about the theft that rocked the globe.

Wednesday, June 8:

8 PM THE ‘CON’ IN CONGRESS

California Congressman Duncan Hunter and his wife Margaret look like the perfect political power couple. But instead of serving the public, these partners in life become partners in crime, conspiring to help themselves to hundreds of thousands in campaign dollars. The Congressman also secretly helps himself to multiple mistresses. When prosecutors indict both the Hunters after years of illegal spending, Duncan promptly shifts the blame to his loyal wife–who turns the tables and agrees to help the Feds.

9 PM INSIDE EL CHAPO’S EMPIRE

Everyone knows “El Chapo” – a.k.a. Joaquin Guzmán Loera, billionaire drug lord and for years the world’s most wanted man. But few are familiar with the betrayal that helped land him in American custody. Meet the Flores twins, Chicago-born drug dealers who earned the trust of the boss of the Sinaloa cartel – then helped the Feds put him away for life. Today, the twins are in hiding, but for the first time on television their wives sit down to share what life was like at the heights of the drug trade – exclusively with American Greed.

10 PM THE IMPOSTER

Ed Shin is an entrepreneur, churchgoer, family man – the very picture of success. But when his business partner suddenly vanishes from view, prompting the family to seek answers, a private eye digs into Shin’s past – and what he learns is horrifying. American Greed sits down with victims and former friends of Shin to piece together this tale of embezzlement, betrayal, and ultimately… murder.

11 PM THE KINGPIN NEXT DOOR

The stunning story of a suburban Eagle Scout turned Dark Web drug lord. Aaron Shamo launches a new type of American drug ring – recruiting other Utah millennials to help him manufacture deadly counterfeit opioids and sell them online. That is, until the Feds break down his door and put an end to his illegal entrepreneurial dreams.

About “American Greed”

CNBC’s hit documentary series “American Greed,” which just aired its 15th season, explores the dark side of the American Dream – where money seduces, power corrupts, and the line between right and wrong blurs fast. From brazen con artists to CEOs with secrets, each episode, narrated by legendary actor, Stacy Keach, goes beyond the sensational headlines to tell a tale of excess and outrage, using first-hand accounts from the key players themselves.

AMC’S ANNUAL HORROR MARATHON FEARFEST BECOMES ‘FURFEST’ WITH ADOPT-A-PET.COM COLLABORATION

AMC’S ANNUAL HORROR MARATHON FEARFEST BECOMES ‘FURFEST’ WITH ADOPT-A-PET.COM COLLABORATION
All month long, AMC, AMC+, and Shudder are encouraging viewers to find their PAW-fect watch buddy for spooky season and beyond, and to raise awareness for black cat and black dog adoption
NEW YORK, NY – October 20, 2020 – AMC Networks today announced it has teamed up with Adopt-a-Pet.com, North America’s largest non-profit pet adoption website, for AMC’s annual horror marathon FearFest, to raise awareness for pet adoption with ‘FurFest.’ All month long, AMC, AMC+, and Shudder are encouraging viewers to support Adopt-a-Pet.com’s mission to end the overpopulation of companion animals in shelters and help pets find loving forever homes through custom, PET-tacular spots airing across linear, digital, and social channels.

The custom spots, featuring a few four-legged horror fans, encourage viewers to find their perfect watch buddies through adoptions and especially raise awareness for black cat and black dog adoptions this spooky season. Halloween may be the season for magical black cats, but in reality, they are most often left behind in shelters because of the color of their fur. Many animal welfare organizations call this “black cat syndrome,” with the phenomenon happening with black dogs as well. Through the collaboration, audiences are encouraged and inspired to help fight “black cat syndrome” by adopting these furry friends or by donating to Adopt-a-Pet.com. See the custom spot below:

“We all know that spooky season is best enjoyed with a buddy by your side, which is why we’re thrilled to join forces with Adopt-a-Pet.com to help viewers find their perfect four-legged watch companions,” said Linda Schupack, President of Marketing, AMC Networks Entertainment Group. “The movies on AMC’s FearFest and Shudder are already scary enough. How great to cuddle up with a lovely black cat or black dog for Halloween and beyond.”

“Teaming up with AMC Networks is an exciting and unique way to spread the word about pet adoption,” said Dana Puglisi, Chief Marketing Officer of Adopt-a-Pet.com. “We appreciate AMC and Shudder’s efforts to help get more pets into loving homes. And we love all the extra snuggles those newly adopted pets will receive while their people binge through the FearFest thrills!”

Now in its 24th consecutive year, AMC’s annual horror marathon FearFest brings the frights with an entire month of genre programming from iconic franchises like Halloween and Insidious, and the return of award-winning docuseries Eli Roth’s History of Horror. Shudder, dubbed “the ultimate in streaming horror” by Newsweek, offers the best selection of original and classic horror, thriller and supernatural films and series, uncut and commercial free. Both are also now available as part of the new AMC+, a premium streaming bundle featuring only the good stuff, which also includes IFC Midnight’s best genre cinema from independent, foreign and documentary films. In addition to the largest slate of classic horror movies such as Friday the 13th and Halloween, AMC+ also includes all series within The Walking Dead Universe, as well as AMC’s Eli Roth’s History of Horror, and new Shudder programming, such as Joe Bob’s Halloween Hideaway Special and A Creepshow Animated Special, and much more.
