FOR LIFE (ABC) - Star Nicholas Pinnock has been made a producer on the show's second season.

Uniquely, the bait ball will be constructed around a protective shark cage, allowing divers to immerse with the gathering storm of sharks and other apex marine predators, which may include giant squid or sperm whales, as it descends into the depths." MAK Pictures is behind the project with Mark Kadin and Will Ehbrecht serving as executive producers. (Deadline.com)
TERROR LAKE DRIVE (UMC, New!) - Malik Yoba will star in a six-part limited series for the company billed as "a suspenseful drama that follows a single mother from Baltimore who - on the heels of a recent pandemic and growing social unrest - relocates to Atlanta in an attempt to dodge her troubled past.
