“Ghosting: The Spirit of Christmas,” tells the quirky and heart-warming
story of Jess (Aisha Dee), who goes on the greatest first date of her life,
but inadvertently “ghosts” Ben when she tragically dies in a car accident
on the way home. Stuck on Earth with no idea how to ascend, Jess will need
the help of her best friend Kara (Kimiko Glenn), the only person who can
still see and hear her. Kendrick Sampson (“Insecure”) and Jazz Raycole
(“The Quad”) also star. Executive producers include Lisa Kudrow, Dan
Bucatinsky, Tony Phelan, and Joan Rater. “Ghosting: The Spirit of
Christmas” premieres Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 9:00 p.m. EST/PST.
“Good Trouble” will reunite the cast of “The Fosters” when the Adams-Foster
clan comes to the Coterie to spend Christmas with Callie and Mariana. In
hour one, “Nochebuena,” The Fosters visit the Coterie for Christmas and
Callie struggles to tell her moms about quitting her clerkship, while
Mariana agrees to volunteer for a holiday festival for the underprivileged.
Alice is hiding a secret from the Coterie, and Davia strolls down memory
lane with Dennis, opening old wounds.

In hour two, “A Very Coterie Christmas,” the Fosters and the Hunters help
out with the impromptu volunteer Christmas event. Stef agrees to be a part
of Mariana’s plan to avoid a major catastrophe, all while Gael and Jazmine
deal with a painful family decision. Jamie is eager to ask Callie a very
important question.

For the first time on cable television, Freeform has teamed up with
Rankin-Bass to air the seminal holiday classics, “Frosty the Snowman” and
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” One of the most popular and

following in 1969. These holiday classics will air back-to-back on Friday,

DECK THE HALLS! FREEFORM FANS WILL HAVE
A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS SEASON WITH
THE ‘KICKOFF TO CHRISTMAS’ MONTH-LONG
PROGRAMMING EVENT STARTING NOV. 1

New Unscripted Original Holiday Series, ‘Wrap Battle’ With Sheryl Underwood,
Carson Kressley and Wanda Wen Will Premiere on Monday, Nov. 25

As the Halloween season comes to a close, Freeform will continue to be the home for all holiday viewing with the second year of the “Kickoff to Christmas” programming event, starting on Friday, Nov. 1. With a month full of holiday fun, this year will also include two new Freeform originals. The film “Turkey Drop,” from Muse Entertainment, will air Saturday, Nov. 23, at 9:00-11:00 p.m. EST/PST. The original holiday competition series, “Wrap Battle,” will air Monday, Nov. 25, at 9:00-11:00 p.m. EST/PST.

This year’s event will also feature fan favorites “Frozen,” “Home Alone,” “Miracle on 34th Street,” “The BFG,” and many, many more.

Freeform’s new holiday gift-wrapping competition series “Wrap Battle” debuts Monday, Nov. 25, at 9:00 p.m. EST/PST. “Wrap Battle” will air two episodes, back to back, each week. The six-episode series will follow nine contestants as they battle to become the ultimate wrapper and take home the coveted grand prize, valued at $50,000. The series will be hosted by comedian Sheryl Underwood (“The Talk”), with Carson Kressley (“RuPaul’s Drag Race,” “Get A Room with Carson and Thom”) and Wanda Wen (founder of fine stationery and luxury paper brand Soolip) serving as judges. Celebrity guest judges will include Tony Award®-winning Broadway producer Candy Spelling, Sandra Lee, Sherry Cola (“Good Trouble”), Diggy Simmons (“grown-ish”), Lala Kent (“Vanderpump Rules”) and designer Sabrina Soto.

“Turkey Drop” focuses on Lucy Jacobs, a small-town girl who has started her freshman year at a big-city university. When Lucy returns home for Thanksgiving break, she suspects she’s about to get turkey dropped—dumped by her high school sweetheart—during their holiday visit. To avoid a Turkey Day travesty, Lucy gets out of her comfort zone, proving she’s not the same play-it-safe girl she was with her high school boyfriend. As she takes control of her own life and makes choices that put herself first, she learns to let go of what’s been holding her back, helping achieve what she truly wants out of life. The movie stars Olivia Holt (“Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger”), Cheryl Hines (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Ben Levine (“Legacies”) and Tyler Perez (“LA’s Finest”).

The network has added even more holiday cheer to the line-up. Disney’s hit films such as “Frozen,” “Zootopia,” and “Moana” as well as the Freeform premiere of Marvel Studios’ “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” will be airing throughout the month. Other beloved classics such as “Home Alone,” “The Holiday,” “Beauty and the Beast” and special holiday episodes of “The Simpsons” will also join the lineup.

Breaking News From Freeform’s 2019 Upfront Presentation

Breaking News From Freeform’s 2019 Upfront Presentation

BREAKING NEWS FROM FREEFORM’S 2019 UPFRONT PRESENTATION

At today’s combined Walt Disney Television Upfront presentation held at Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall, Freeform showcased its continued commitment to provocative and bold original content that champions the force and momentum of its young adult audience.

“Freeform is built on one very powerful belief: that embracing the disruptive voices and diverse identities of our viewers is key to our ongoing success,” said Tom Ascheim, president, Freeform. “We are so proud to have the opportunity to grow with our audience and are looking forward to continuing to push the boundaries of convention through our programming—this year and in years to come.”

Marking another strong year for its original series, Freeform delivers the No. 1 comedy for the second year in a row (“grown-ish”) and 2 of the Top 3 new dramas of 2019 (“Good Trouble” and “Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists,” respectively) among Women 18-34. Freeform continues to establish itself as the leading cable television network for young adults and sets itself apart from other content platforms with authentic and inclusive programming. The network also continues its decade of dominance in social media as the No. 1 most social cable network this year, as well as the No. 1 network in digital viewing.

Below are several network announcements with more breaking news coming out of today’s presentation.

‘SIREN’ DIVES INTO A THIRD SEASON

“Siren,” Freeform’s fan-favorite mermaid thriller, has been picked up for a third season. During the first half of its second season, “Siren” ranked as Freeform’s No. 1 show among Adults 18-49 and Women 18-49. The second half of Season 2 will premiere on THURSDAY, JUNE 13, at 8:00 p.m. EDT/PDT on Freeform. Ben and Maddie are uncertain about the mermaids’ future after the deadly consequences of the attack on the oil rig and, with the mermaids returning to sea, are left feeling lost without Ryn. Once Helen learns she’s not the only one of her kind, she discovers there is a dark side to her people’s past. The series stars Eline Powell, Alex Roe, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Ian Verdun and Rena Owen. “Siren” is executive produced by Eric Wald and Emily Whitesell, who serves as showrunner.

FREEFORM RELEASES FIRST TRAILERS FOR NEW ORIGINAL SERIES

‘Motherland: Fort Salem’ Trailer

Set in an alternate America where witches ended their persecution over 300 years ago by cutting a deal with the government to fight for their country, “Motherland: Fort Salem” follows three young women from basic training in combat magic into early deployment. In this world, the traditional roles of gender and power are flipped, with the more dominant women on the front lines fighting looming terrorist threats that are familiar to our world—but with supernatural tactics and weapons. The series stars Ashley Nicole Williams, Jessica Sutton, Taylor Hickson, Demetria McKinney and Amalia Holm. “Motherland: Fort Salem” is executive produced by Eliot Laurence, Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Kevin Messick, Maria Maggenti and Steven Adelson.

‘Party of Five’ Trailer

From Sony Pictures Television, “Party of Five” will follow the five Acosta children as they navigate daily life struggles to survive as a family unit after their parents are suddenly deported back to Mexico. The series stars Brandon Larracuente, Emily Tosta, Niko Guardado and Elle Paris Legaspi. The new iteration of “Party of Five” is created by Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman, who also serve as executive producers and writers. Rodrigo Garcia also serves as executive producer and directed the pilot. Michal Zebede serves as co-executive producer and writer.

‘Everything’s Gonna Be Okay’ Trailer

From “Please Like Me” creator, writer and star Josh Thomas comes half-hour comedy “Everything’s Gonna Be Okay,” produced by Avalon Television and Freeform. The series introduces Nicholas (Josh Thomas), a neurotic 25-year-old visiting his single dad and two teenage half-sisters, one of whom is on the autism spectrum. He hasn’t been particularly present in his siblings’ lives, but when their dad reveals that he is terminally ill, the girls have to cope with not only a devastating loss but also the realization that Nicholas is the one who will have to rise to the occasion, move in and hold it all together. Thomas created, stars, writes and will serve as showrunner of the comedy series, coming soon to Freeform. Stephanie Swedlove and Kevin Whyte also serve as executive producers, with David Martin, Jon Thoday, and Richard Allen-Turner executive producing for Avalon Television. The series will also star Kayla Cromer, Maeve Press and Adam Faison.

TAKE THAT SHELBYVILLE! AMERICA’S FAVORITE FAMILY ‘THE SIMPSONS’
HEADS TO FREEFORM BEGINNING IN SEPTEMBER

Freeform welcomes the Simpson family as America’s longest-running sitcom will begin to air on the network starting this September. Viewers will be able to enjoy episodes from all 30 seasons of the dysfunctional and hilarious adventures of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and the array of quirky supporting characters living in the misfit city of Springfield. Currently in its 30th season, “The Simpsons” is a Gracie Films Production in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series was created by Matt Groening and developed by James L. Brooks, Matt Groening and Sam Simon. James L. Brooks, Matt Groening and Al Jean are executive producers. Air dates will be announced at a later date.

As previously announced, Freeform is committed to building a female-focused animation block with two projects in development—”Betches” and “Woman World.” “Betches” is executive produced by Emma Roberts (“American Horror Story”), Samantha Fishbein (co-founder of Betches Media), Jordana Abraham (co-founder of Betches Media), Aleen Kuperman (co-founder of Betches Media), Carli Haney, Kesila Childers and Gil Goldschein from Bunim-Murray Productions (“Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” “The Real World”).

FREEFORM DOUBLES DOWN ON THE MOST HAUNTED TIME OF YEAR WITH SECOND ANNUAL EXPANDED ’31 NIGHTS OF HALLOWEEN’ PROGRAMMING EVENT

Last year’s inaugural “31 Nights of Halloween” delivered Freeform’s most-watched October in three years, finishing the month as the No. 1 cable network in Women 18-34 and Females 12-34. Freeform will be doubling down on their commitment to Halloween and will be making this year’s “31 Nights of Halloween” programming stunt even bigger with the following programming additions.

After last year’s highly successful “Hocus Pocus 25th Anniversary Halloween Bash,” Freeform will continue the party this year with a new original special, “Halloween Extravaganza Bash” (working title) a celebration of Halloween’s biggest pop culture moments. This year, the special will honor the icons of the season as we celebrate the most beloved movies, television shows and music artists who have become synonymous with Halloween.

The network has also announced new movies joining the line-up. Marking its 25th anniversary, the classic hit “Ghostbusters” and its sequel “Ghostbusters 2,” as well as the “Scream” trilogy will be airing throughout the stunt, joining other fan favorites including “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “The Addams Family.” And not to be forgotten, Freeform will break its own record of the number of times one network can air “Hocus Pocus,” in a programming stunt with a record for 27 broadcasts of the cult classic.
