Having already tackled relevant matters of gender politics, the series, starring Critics’ Choice Award nominee and Critics’ Choice Award winner Constance Zimmer as producers Rachel Goldberg and Quinn King, will stir up the drama in season two when Everlasting casts its first-ever African American suitor. As announced by star Shiri Appleby in a video posted today on Lifetime Canada’s Twitter account, season two premieres Monday, June 6 at 10pm ET/PT.

Returning as series regulars are Craig Bierko as Everlasting’s creator, Chet, who is on a quest to reclaim his full power on set; Josh Kelly as Jeremy, Everlasting’s director of photography; and Canadian Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman as Jay, a field producer whose ambitions run far beyond the show.

Written and produced by UnREAL co-creator and executive producer Sarah Gertrude Shapiro, the network’s first-ever scripted digital short series, The Faith Diaries, launches today in a multi-platform release.

Murder and mayhem collide once again in the mansions of Beverly Hills’ wealthiest and most powerful families in the newest season of Devious Maids. Executive produced by and Eva Longoria, Devious Maids follows a close-knit group of friends, Marisol (), Rosie (Dania Ramírez), Carmen (Roselyn Sánchez) and Zoila (), who are bonded together by their jobs, life struggles, and the melodramatic universe that engulfs their employers. Season four of Devious Maids premieres Monday, June 6 at 9pm ET/PT.

This season, Marisol finds herself acting as a support system to Evelyn () in the wake of a big life change.
