★Robin Thede, creator of HBO's A Black Lady Sketch Show (which was recently renewed for a fourth season), has signed a new three year deal with Warner Bros. Discovery to create content exclusively for HBO, HBO Max and Warner Bros. Television.

★With Riverdale ending next year after its seventh season, The CW is looking at another property set in the Archie Comics world, Jake Chang. Chang is a new character in the Archie universe who will make his comics debut July 27 in the Betty & Veronica story 'Mystery of the Missing Mermaid'. The TV series Jake Chang is an Asian-American–led mystery following a 16-year-old private investigator as he navigates the racially and socioeconomically diverse worlds of his ever-gentrifying home of Chinatown, and the elite private high school he attends. The show will blend soapy teen drama with the neon noir aesthetic, all while flipping nearly every Asian stereotype — honor, martial arts, destiny, lineage, parental sacrifice — on its head. Daniel Dae Kim's 3AD, Archie Studios and Warner Bros. Television will produce the series.

★Ovation TV will air the first two seasons of Australian mystery series The Doctor Blake Mysteries, starring favorite Craig McLachlan as the maverick town doctor Lucien Blake, an impulsive risk-taker who's not afraid to upset the status quo.

With four episodes airing back-to-back every Thursday, season two will then begin airing on Thursday, July 21 at 11am ET.

Retta will take a road trip to five stunning destinations to visit 15 unsightly homes nominated by their owners and share her hilarious reviews of the astonishingly bad designs, cringe-worthy layouts and severely outdated styles. Based on its ugly appearance, poor functionality and hideous design choices, one house will be crowned the "ugliest house in America" by HGTV, and the network will award its owners a showstopping $150,000 renovation completed by Alison Victoria, one of its top stars, during a special one-hour finale episode.
