LAURA DISCOVERS THE TRUTH ON AMC’S “HUMANS” AT 10:00 P.M. ET/PT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – “Into the Badlands” Season 3 finale airs on Sunday, June 17^th at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. On the eighth episode, “Leopard Catches Cloud,” Sunny and Bajie arrive at Pilgrim's Fortress, only to face an angry M.K.. While The Widow enlists Gaius, Moon and Lydia rally the troops.

Season three of “Into the Badlands” finds Sunny (Daniel Wu) living off the grid, doing his best to provide for his infant son, Henry, in the wake of Veil’s death. It is only when Henry contracts a mysterious illness that Sunny must join forces with Bajie (Nick Frost) and journey back into the Badlands, where The Widow (Beecham) and Baron Chau (Matsuura) are entrenched in a drawn-out war that has destabilized the entire region.  No longer supported by Tilda (Ally Ioannides) or Waldo (Stephen Lang), The Widow must find new allies in Lydia (Orla Brady) and in Nathaniel Moon (Sherman Augustus) — the former regent who lost his hand to Sunny and Bajie in Season 2. But when a mysterious nomadic leader called Pilgrim (Babou Ceesay) arrives in the Badlands on a mission to restore Azra and usher in a new era of “peace," old enemies must band together to defend the Badlands.

“Into the Badlands” was created by showrunners/executive producers/writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and executive produced by Oscar®-nominated producers Stacey Sher and Michael Shamberg, director David Dobkin, fight director Stephen Fung and star Daniel Wu.  The series stars Daniel Wu (Tomb Raider) as Sunny; Aramis Knight (Enders Game) as M.K.; Emily Beecham (Daphne) as The Widow; Orla Brady (“Fringe”) as Lydia; Ally Ioannides (“Parenthood”) as Tilda and Nick Frost as Bajie (Shaun of the Dead). This season, they will be joined by new series regulars Lorraine Toussaint (“Orange is the New Black”), Sherman Augustus (“Westworld”), Babou Ceesay (“Guerilla”) and Ella-Rae Smith (Clique), as well as new recurring guest stars Dean-Charles Chapman (“Game of Thrones”) and Lewis Tan (“Iron Fist”).

Following the episode, viewers can catch an all-new episode of “Talking with Chris Hardwick” at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT, featuring “Atlanta” star Donald Glover.

Joy Nash as Plum Kettle

AMC’s new original series “Dietland,” continues with a new episode on Monday, June 18^th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. On the third episode, “F... This,” Plum participates in the next step of The New Baptist Plan, doing whatever it takes to become truly beautiful, while Jennifer's terrorism goes global.

Based on Sarai Walker’s 2015 best-selling, critically acclaimed novel of the same name, “Dietland” is a wickedly funny and extraordinarily timed satire about Plum Kettle, a ghost-writer for the editor of one of New York’s hottest fashion magazines. Struggling with self-image and fed up with how she’s treated by her boss and society, Plum sets out on a wildly complicated road to self-awakening. At the same time, everyone is buzzing over news reports about men, accused of sexual abuse and assault, who are disappearing and meeting untimely, violent deaths. Equal parts revenge fantasy and a journey to self-acceptance, “Dietland” is a darkly comedic story that explores a multitude of issues faced by women today.

The series stars Joy Nash (“The Mindy Project,” “Twin Peaks”) as Plum Kettle, and Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award-winner Julianna Margulies (“The Good Wife,” “ER”) as Kitty Montgomery. Marti Noxon (“Mad Men,” “UnREAL,”) serves as executive producer, writer, showrunner and directs multiple episodes of the series.

The third episode of the “Dietland” companion talk show, “Unapologetic with Aisha Tyler” will air on Monday, June 18^th at 10:00 pm ET with series star Erin Darke, civil rights activist DeRay McKesson and comedian Cameron Esposito as this week’s guest. 

Unlike a conventional after show confined to the companion series itself, “Unapologetic” will feature Tyler leading a topical discussion around the broader, female-centric issues and themes that “Dietland” explores. Tyler will be talking with celebrity fans, series actors and producers, as well as relevant journalists, writers, comedians and other tastemakers. Embassy Row’s Michael Davies, Tammy Johnston and Amanda McPhillips serve as executive producers.

Katherine Parkinson as Laura

Season 3 of AMC’s critically-acclaimed scripted drama, “HUMANS” continues on Tuesday, June 19^th at 10:00 P.M. ET/PT. On the new episode, Laura wants the truth about Operation Basswood. Mattie and Leo confront their feelings, while Niska receives a mysterious message.

The series, penned by writing partners Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley (Spooks, Spooks: The Greater Good), is set in a parallel present and explores what happens when the lines between humans and machines are blurred. “HUMANS” provides a thrilling look at the evolution of technology and its effect on society. Timely and relevant, the eight-episode new season unfolds on a bigger scale than ever before.

Mark Bonnar (“Catastrophe,” “Apple Tree Yard”) joins series regulars Gemma Chan (Upcoming: “Captain Marvel,” “Crazy Rich Asians”), Katherine Parkinson (“The Honorable Woman,” “The IT Crowd”), Tom Goodman-Hill (“Mr. Selfridge,” “The Imitation Game”), Emily Berrington (“24: Live Another Day,” “The Inbetweeners 2”), Ivanno Jeremiah (“Black Mirror,” “Doctor Who”), Colin Morgan (“Merlin,” “The Fall”) and Ruth Bradley (“Grabbers,” “Pursuit”).

Based on the award-winning Swedish sci-fi drama “Real Humans” created by Lars Lundstrom, “HUMANS” is executive produced by Vincent, Brackley, Derek Wax, Emma Kingsman-Lloyd for Kudos in association with Wild Mercury Productions and Lundstrom and Henrik Widman for Matador Films. Joining Vincent and Brackley in the writers’ room is Debbie O’Malley, Namsi Khan, Jonathan Harbottle, Melissa Iqbal and Daisy Coulam. The series is produced by Vicki Delow for Kudos, SVT and Matador Films. The third season was commissioned for Channel 4 by Beth Willis and Simon Maxwell and Kristin Jones for AMC.

As the new season begins, the repercussions of Chuck’s scheme test Jimmy and Kim’s (Rhea Seehorn) fledgling law practices – and their romance – as never before. This imminent existential threat presses Jimmy’s faltering moral compass to the limit.  Meanwhile, Mike searches for a mysterious adversary who seems to know almost everything about his business. As the season progresses, new characters are introduced and backstories are further illuminated with meaningful nods to the Breaking Bad universe.

ON ALL-NEW EPISODE OF AMC’S POP CULTURE TALK SHOW

“TALKING WITH CHRIS HARDWICK”

AIRING SUNDAY, APRIL 23^RD AT 11:00PM ET/PT 

Michelle Monaghan and Chris Hardwick

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – An all-new episode of AMC’s newest series, “Talking with Chris Hardwick,” airs on Sunday, April 23^rd at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT featuring Michelle Monaghan (“The Path”). Check out a sneak peek HERE, and excerpts from the new episode below.

Michelle Monaghan on filming a love scene with Tom Cruise:

“One of the first scenes was with Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible III. My husband and I had just gotten married three days before…my husband hugged me and said, ‘How cool is it that you are making out with Tom Cruise on our honeymoon.’”

Michelle Monaghan on filming “True Detective” while pregnant:

“They aged me to be in my sixties at some point, but I was actually five months pregnant when I finished that. I think they thought I was method because every time I went away, I’d come back and I was supposed to be a little bit older. I would come back 5, 6, 7 pounds heavier and I never told anyone [that I was pregnant], and they were like ‘Wow, this is really impressive.’”

“There was actually a scene where I’m seeing Woody [Harrelson] for the first time and we’re having an argument, and it was on my close up of all things, and I felt my baby kick for the first time in the middle of the scene.” 

Additional lineup of guests set to appear on “Talking with Chris Hardwick,” include (not in air order): James Corden, Charlie Hunnam, Connie Britton, Justin Theroux, Bryan Cranston, Jane Lynch, Damon Lindelof, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Jordan Peele and the cast of “Orange Is the New Black.” Additional guests will be announced soon.

Produced by Embassy Row, each episode of “Talking with Chris Hardwick” features an in-depth conversation between Hardwick and a single guest or cast, highlighting Hardwick’s singularly irreverent and authentic take on today’s pop culture landscape. Compared with a typical 5 or 10-minute talk show interview, “Talking with Chris Hardwick” will leverage the host’s gift for deep conversation, on display in his popular podcast. The show will also have a strong social media presence and live audience interactivity, giving fans a new destination to celebrate their favorite pop culture icons. 

“Talking with Chris Hardwick” airs at 11 p.m. on Sunday nights when “The Walking Dead” and “Fear the Walking Dead” are not in season. The series is executive produced by Hardwick, Michael Davies, Brandon Monk, Jen Patton and Brillstein Entertainment Partners’ Alex Murray.
