‘Harlem Globetrotters: Play It Forward’ (2022)

I’m really excited about the new season of ‘Harlem Globetrotters: Play It Forward’! It’s such a cool show – it’s not just about the amazing basketball skills, but it follows the team as they give back to the community, working with different charities and helping young people. I loved it when Craig Robinson hosted, but the new episodes are bringing in fresh faces and segments, and they’re dropping on October 6th. I can’t wait to see what the Globetrotters are up to off the court this time around!

The show is made in partnership with Hearst Media Production Group and combines practical skill-building with feel-good moments focused on giving back to the community, like visits to camps and volunteer projects. Starting Monday, October 6th, Kenny Smith joined as a host, adding a stronger emphasis on mentorship and community involvement.

Hosted by Peter Gros and Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant, each episode showcases habitat and species recovery projects, and the dedicated people behind them. The series premieres on Monday, October 6th.

This new series builds on the brand’s history of educational programming by showcasing real-world reporting and conversations with experts. It highlights the work of scientists, park rangers, and local groups who are achieving real results, connecting today’s efforts with the spirit of the original ‘Wild Kingdom.’ The series premieres on Monday, October 6th, and features current projects and on-location expeditions.

Each episode explores a different region or group of animals—from the savannas of Africa to the coasts of Australia—and shows how behaviors like migration and hunting fit into the larger ecosystem. The series is ongoing, with new episodes recently announced for release starting Monday, October 6.

‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ (2020)

‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ takes place on the stunning sailing yacht Parsifal III and follows the adventures of both the guests and the crew, led by Captain Glenn Shephard. Familiar faces like chief steward Daisy Kelliher and first officer Gary King are back for another season. The show is known for its exciting sailing challenges and the personal stories of the crew, and it premieres on Wednesday, October 8th.

“Snapped: Behind Bars,” a new series from the creators of ‘Snapped,’ takes viewers inside prisons to revisit infamous murder cases. Each episode features in-depth, one-on-one interviews with the convicted killers themselves, detailing the investigations, evidence, and trials, alongside their personal stories. The series premieres on Wednesday, October 8.

As a huge fan of ‘Snapped,’ I’m really excited about the new season! It’s going to dig deep into the cases with actual files, insights from the investigators, and brand new interviews with the people involved, done right inside the prisons. They’re focusing more on *why* these crimes happened, the exact order of events, and the forensic evidence – less on dramatic reenactments, which I appreciate. And the best part? It starts Wednesday, October 8th!

‘The Irrational’ features Jesse L. Martin as Alec Mercer, an expert in human behavior who helps solve difficult cases, navigate company problems, and advise on important public issues.

The cast features Maahra Hill as FBI agent Marisa, Travina Springer as Kylie, Mercer’s sister, and Molly Kunz as his research partner. Each episode uses ideas from behavioral economics – like common thinking errors and how we make decisions – to create surprising plot twists and solutions. New episodes will be available starting Thursday, October 9.

‘Scare Tactics’ (2024)

The popular horror prank show is back! This time, Jordan Peele is an executive producer, bringing fresh cinematic scares to unsuspecting people.
