Tonight is the series premiere of Midnight, Texas on NBC at 10/9c. Based on the best-selling book series by Charlaine Harris (author of the novels that inspired True Blood), the show stars François Arnaud (The Borgias) as Manfred, a charming, powerful psychic who can communicate with spirits and finds safety in Midnight surrounding himself with both human and supernatural allies. Midnight is also home to Bobo, proprietor of Midnight’s local pawn shop (Dylan Bruce, Orphan Black); Fiji, a witch who owns the local wiccan shop (Parisa Fitz-Henley, Luke Cage); Olivia, a mysterious assassin with a weapon for every occasion (Arielle Kebbel, The Vampire Diaries); Joe, an angel who knows all of Midnight’s secrets having been around for millennia (Jason Lewis, Sex and the City); Lemuel, a wise vampire with a long history in Midnight (Peter Mensah, True Blood); Creek, an aspiring writer with big dreams (Sarah Ramos, Parenthood); and Rev. Emilio Sheehan, who can’t resist the pull of a full moon (Yul Vazquez, Captain Phillips).
 
Tonight is also the series premiere of Somewhere Between on ABC at 10:01/9:01c. This suspenseful thriller stars Paula Patton (Warcraft) as Laura Price, a local news producer in San Francisco helping the police to hunt down a serial killer. After the killer strikes close to home, a twist of fate allows a “Groundhog Day”-type reset, and Laura relives the week prior to the string of murders. Unlike Groundhog Day, she only has one chance. Can she change fate and stop the killer? As she unravels the mysterious connection between herself and the killer, she realizes that fate is written in stone and that changing events will require an ultimate sacrifice. Also starring in the series, JR Bourne (Teen Wolf) plays Tom Price, Laura’s powerful yet sensitive husband who is also the city’s district attorney; Devon Sawa (Nikita) is Nico Jackson, a former cop turned private investigator; and newcomer Aria Birch plays Serena Price, a big-hearted, untamable child who is always reaching out to others as a new friend.

Tonight is the series premiere of Little Women LA: Couples Retreat on Lifetime at 9/8c. Pack your sunscreen and prepare for drama in the tropics, when the Little Women franchise heads to an island resort. From coast to coast, the Little Women cast has dealt with it all when it comes to their love lives. Now at crossroads in their relationships, LA’s Tonya and Kerwin, Briana and Matt, and Christy and Todd, meet up with Atlanta’s Tiny Twinz Andrea and Amanda and their boyfriends Chris and Jordan. New York’s Lila and her new love interest Brian and the Big Apple’s Jazim and David, also join the crew. With the help of a relationship guide, the couples work to better themselves, while participating in adventurous excursions that push them out of their comfort zones and force them to face their issues head on. As the curtain is pulled back, some will reach their breaking point while some may fall deeper in love.
 
Tonight is the series premiere of Signed on VH1 at 9/8c. The eight, hour-long episodes follow three moguls — rapper, entrepreneur and hip-hop artist Rick Ross, recording artist and Grammy award-winning songwriter The-Dream, and Roc Nation’s SVP of A&R / Artist Management Lenny S — as they work to develop unsigned hip-hop and R&B artists in Atlanta. The show features aspiring musicians who will undergo auditions and workshops to hone their craft and determine if they really have what it takes to get signed to a deal. Through personal sessions with the music moguls and surprise visits from superstars like DJ Khaled, Meek Mill, and Bangladesh, these young artists will face challenges and eliminations as they work their way toward a finale performance showcase. The artists who most impress the moguls have an opportunity to be signed to Maybach Music, Radio Killa Records or Roc Nation.
 
Finally, tonight is the series premiere of So Sharp on Lifetime at 10:02/9:02c. There’s a new force to be reckoned with on the dance floor and his name says it all! Todd Sharp is the coach of the University of Louisville Dance Team, the Ladybirds, and he’s driven, precise, and over-the-top. The team has over 15 national championships under their belt and with this year’s nationals fast approaching, Todd will push the ladies to another victory, even if it kills him. More than just a drill sergeant, these elite athletes count on Todd to be their guidance counselor, surrogate father and the “head-bitch-in-charge” who ultimately makes them shine.

Tonight is the series premiere of Date Night Live on Lifetime at 10:02/9:02c. The show follows couples from New York City, Atlanta, Dallas and San Diego, as they embark on dates — LIVE! Using cutting-edge, mobile-live technology, viewers get a fly-on-the-wall point of view in real-time, across multiple time zones, as cameras capture the promise of romance, awkward conversations, cringe-worthy moments and everything else in-between up to nine dates per episode. In-studio hosts, comedian Michelle Collins, Z100’s Bethany Watson, and relationship coach Paul Brunson, will be in on all the dating action as they bounce from city to city and provide commentary as the evening develops. Will it be love at first sight? Or will the date crash and burn?
 
Tonight is also the complete first season premiere of Daughters of Destiny on Netflix at 3:01AM/2:01AMc. This is a 4-part Netflix original documentary series that chronicles the lives of five girls from Indian families who are among the so-called “Dalit” caste and most impoverished communities in the world. The series witnesses the girls grow up (ranging in age from 7 to 23 over the course of the 4 episodes) while they are raised at Shanti Bhavan, a unique co-ed residential school in Tamil Nadu. The expectation for these girls and all the children who attend Shanti Bhavan is that they must grow up to support themselves, lift their families and communities out of poverty, and contribute to the larger world. The series highlights the struggle of students as they strive to define themselves, re-define gender and class and create a new future for the generations that will come after them. The strength and power of the girls’ own storytelling and dramatic experiences over the 7 years of filming from the gates of Shanti Bhav, into their homes brings viewers through their stories of family, love, loss, hard work and courage. As we watch them grow up, they travel between home and school, and are forced to navigate the stark contrasts between family traditions and their modern and global views and knowledge. Daughters of Destiny highlights the journey of a generation of children on the precipice of a new life that is inconceivable to their ancestors, and brings into question the notions of fate, free will and the human longing for opportunity, purpose and meaning.
 
Finally, tonight is also the complete first season premiere of The Last Tycoon on Amazon at 3:01AM/2:01AMc. From F. Scott Fitzgerald’s last work, which celebrated its 75th anniversary last year, The Last Tycoon — inspired by the life of legendary film mogul Irving Thalberg — follows Hollywood’s Golden Boy, Monroe Stahr (Matt Bomer) as he battles father figure and boss, Pat Brady (Kelsey Grammer) for the soul of their studio. In a world darkened by the Great Depression and the growing international influence of Hitler’s Germany, The Last Tycoon illuminates the passions, violence, and towering ambition of 1930s Hollywood. The show also stars Lily Collins, Rosemarie DeWitt, Mark O’Brien, Kerry O’Malley, Jessica de Gouw, Enzo Cilenti, Dominique McElligott, & Annika Marks.

There’s a different story each week, with the tone, the characters and the era changing every time.
