State of Affairs

Each day the president is faced with dozens of life-and-death decisions, and to prioritize the biggest international crises facing the country, one top CIA analyst - Charleston Tucker (Katherine Heigl, "Grey's Anatomy") - assembles the President's Daily Briefing (PDB). This list of the most vital security issues facing the nation brings with it moral and political judgment calls for Charleston and her trusted group of brilliant analysts at the agency. Aside from the political minefields she has to walk, Charlie has a close personal relationship with President Constance Payton (Alfre Woodard, "Desperate Housewives") because she was once engaged to her son before a tragic terrorist attack took his life. Charlie survived that attack and is now determined to bring the perpetrators to justice. Navigating a complex personal life and a pressure-cooker profession is, of course, a challenge, and Charlie sometimes engages in boundary-pushing behavior to avoid facing her grief. But when the clock strikes 2 a.m., she is all about her job - protecting her nation, serving her president and still trying to get to the bottom of her fiancé's murder, which will reveal itself as a shocking mystery.

The cast also includes Adam Kaufman, Sheila Vand, Cliff Chamberlain, Tommy Savas and David Harbour.

Writer-director Joe Carnahan ("The Blacklist") serves as executive producer with Dario Scardapane, Katherine Heigl, Nancy Heigl, Robert Simonds, Sophie Watts, Henry Crumpton, Rodney Faraon and Julia Franz.

The 100

The series is set 97 years after a devastating nuclear war wiped out almost all life on Earth. The only known survivors are the residents of twelve space stations in Earth's orbit prior to the war. The space stations banded together to form a single massive station named "The Ark", where about 2,400 people live.^[1] Resources are scarce and all crimes, no matter their nature or severity, are punishable by death ("floating") unless the perpetrator is under 18 years of age. After the Ark's life-support systems are found to be critically failing, 100 juvenile prisoners are declared "expendable" and sent to the surface in a last ditch attempt to determine if Earth is habitable again in a program called "The 100", for which the show is named. The teens arrive on a beautiful planet they have only seen from space. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. However, they discover not all humanity was wiped out; some people on Earth, called grounders, survived the war, and there are even more dangers lurking – Reapers and Mountain Men.

In the second season, people from Mt. Weather aid several survivors after the battle at the end of the first season. Mt. Weather is filled with residents who are technologically advanced, but unable to leave their bunker due to radiation fears. While appearing outwardly extremely friendly and welcoming, they harbor dark secrets.

After crashing on Earth, survivors from the Ark try to establish a new home, all the while searching for their lost children (the 100) and dealing with threats from the grounders. Jaha, the remaining survivor on the Ark, finds a way to leave, but ends up in the ruins of New York.

The Blacklist

• 

  A highly articulate, erudite and intelligent businessman and mastermind, "Red" Reddington, has allegedly been on the "10 Most Wanted List" of various U.S. law enforcement agencies for over 20 years. The legend is that Red is as elusive an Artiste as he is clever; Red built and controls a veritable labyrinth of creative enterprises coupled with uncanny ability to gather and finesse information at the drop of a hat. On the first day at FBI for a new female profiler fresh out of Quantico, Red offers to bandy wits with the FBI. Red promises to deliver various criminals and plots previously unknown to any branch of law enforcement... and all Red requests in return is to choose his muse.

Grimm

"Grimm" is a drama series inspired by the classic Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tales. After Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) discovers he's descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as "Grimms," he increasingly finds his responsibilities as a detective at odds with his new responsibilities as a Grimm.

In the wake of Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee's (Bree Turner) wedding, things have never been more chaotic. Nick, having lost his Grimm abilities, must dig deep and decide what type of person he wants to be, while Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) continues to try to come to grips with Nick's recent "betrayal." Monroe and Rosalee find themselves having to put their honeymoon plans on hold to try to not only figure out what happened to Nick, but also how to reverse it.

With Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) in critical condition after being shot by Agent Steward, Sergeant Wu's (Reggie Lee) biggest fears are becoming reality thanks to recent events, not the least of which is the strange young woman seen with Nick and the sketches he saw in one of her books.

In Europe, Viktor (guest star Alexis Denisof) is trying to make the best of the Royals' mishandling of the "Hexenbaby," using Adalind's (Claire Coffee) desperation and vulnerability to make her his prisoner.

On top of all this, Wesen crime in Portland doesn't seem to be letting up at all, with even more dangerous Wesen making their way to the great northwest. It's going to take all of Team Grimm's strength and energy to keep Portland from bursting open at the seams.

Russell Hornsby stars as Nick's partner, Hank Griffin.

"Grimm" is a Universal Television and Hazy Mills production. The series was created by David Greenwalt & Jim Kouf and Stephen Carpenter. Sean Hayes, Todd Milliner ("Sean Saves the World," "Hot in Cleveland") and Norberto Barba ("The Bridge") serve as executive producers along with Greenwalt and Kouf.
