Reality Shows
Inside the DHS will chronicle the behind-the-scenes workings of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and its personnel, including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

Scripted Shows
Thunderstruck - An original sci-fi series. A UFO crashes in a small town in Montana. The locals try to grasp the reality and prepare for more occurrences.

Sacred Games - Adapted from the India-set novel by Vikram Chandra. No premiere date announced yet.

Low Winter Sun - Based on the British series starring Mark Strong. It's a contemporary story of murder, deception, revenge and corruption in a world where the line between cops and criminals is blurred. Its writer, executive producer and showrunner is Chris Mundy. No premiere date has been announced yet.[35] On May 3, 2012, AMC greenlit production on the pilot.

Untitled Diamond Trade Drama - A drama set in the world of diamond trading executive produced by Ridley Scott and Tony Scott. No premiere date or official title announced yet.

How To Cheat On Your Wife - Comedy by Rob Roy Thomas starring Todd Stashwick, Steve Little, David Furr, and Seth Morris. No premiere date announced yet.

Thief of Thieves - Based of the comics by The Walking Dead producer, Robert Kirkman. Chic Eglee will serve as showrunner. It is about a thief named Conrad Paulson who, while trying to reconcile with his estranged wife and son, realizes he's addicted to stealing; therefore, he decides to feed his addiction by stealing only what has been stolen.

Untitled Legal Thriller - Legal thriller with major political, personal and ethical stakes. It centers on a District Attorney who uncovers new evidence that prompts the reinvestigation of a sensational murder case. The series is an exploration of personal morality and how people struggle with the shades of grey found in the absence of a simple, ordered moral universe. Richard LaGravenese serves as writer, Tony Goldwyn as executive producer and Andrew Sugarman will serve as co-executive producer. AMC greenlit the pilot in May 3, 2012 along with Low Winter Sun.

LOL shit phone formatting. I'll have to fix this later.

Alright I've got that reformatted...

Based on the plot alone, I'm really looking forward to Thunderstruck. Today was the first I've heard of it, but AMC + SciFi and I am in.

All of those other dramas look like they could be good. I'll watch Thief of Thieves and the Diamond Trade drama based on the names Kirkman and Scott on their own.

I wouldn't be surprised if at least one or two of these stick around and rival the quality of Mad Men or Breaking Bad. Then again I think that Rubicon had a chance to do that too, but they didn't really give it a chance after one season.

Tinseltown theaters are releasing classic movies this month. The Searchers is one of them. Totally worth it.

Glad to see Thunderstruck going to series. I wonder if that puts the kibosh on The Voyage (the other science fiction/alien series they've had in development).
