Pretty Little Liars Spinoff Starring Sasha Pieterse, Janel Parrish a Go at Freeform
Called The Perfectionists, the extension of the Freeform hit Pretty Little Liars follows the close of the seven-year run of the original show. From the network: "Everything about the town of Beacon Heights seems perfect, from their top-tier college to their overachieving residents. But nothing in Beacon Heights is as it appears to be. The stress of needing to be perfect leads to the town’s first murder. Behind every Perfectionist is a secret, a lie and a needed alibi."

He was sentenced to 21 months by U.S. District Judge Denise Cote. “I was a very sick man for a long period of time, but I am also responsible for the damage I have done,” Weiner said. “I have no excuse.”

Will & Grace Stars Sing Theme, Promise 'Progressive and Offensive' Show
"Progressive and offensive" is how star Eric McCormack described the upcoming return of the hit sitcom. Added co-star Debra Messing, "The thing that I loved about the show from the very beginning was that [current issues were] built into the DNA. Within the comedy, we were shining a light on what’s happening in the culture right now and politics right now." Sounds about right.
