Based on the Marvel superhero of the same name, the Daredevil TV show is set in the Marvel universe, and is intended to be the first in a line of series that will lead to an Avengers/Defenders crossover. While the series diverts from the comic book’s plot, fans of the character are sure to find redemption from the 2004 film starring Ben Affleck, which was met mixed reviews.

Fans of Chandler Bing rejoice, because Matthew Perry is back on our sets with the story of two old friends who end up sharing the same apartment after getting kicked out by their wives. Thomas Lennon plays the obsessive compulsive, yoga practicing neurotic mess to Perry’s endearingly disheveled “work in progress” as the unlikely pair navigate what’s left of their lives as newly divorced men.
Odd Couple airs exclusively on RTL CBS Entertainment, Fridays at 9:55pm.

Armed with a positive attitude and the conviction to not be seen as a victim, Kimmy Schmidt moves to New York to start her life after being rescued from the Doomsday cult that held her for 15 years. Fans of witty, edgy, and brutally honest entertainment won’t be surprised to learn that Tina Fey is on board as co-creator and producer, and title character Kimmy, played by The Office’s Ellie Kemper, is as refreshing in this role as she is endearing.
