To read about the new series, then

About “Surviving a Scandal”
From Milli Vanilli to Octomom and Joey Buttafuoco, “Surviving a Scandal” delves into the trials and tribulations of the infamous people whose private lives became tabloid fodder. The series explores the long-term effects of relentless public scrutiny and what happens when your identity becomes synonymous with scandal. Whether thrust into the spotlight for their own scandals, or simply just proximity to foul play, the world watched as one event changed the trajectory of these people’s lives.

“Surviving a Scandal” is produced by Glass Entertainment for ABC News Studios. It is executive produced by Jon Hirsch and Nancy Glass for Glass Entertainment. David Sloan is the senior executive producer, and Muriel Pearson is executive producer for ABC News Studios.

About “The Rookie North”
Expanding the universe, “The Rookie North” introduces Alex Holland, who believed his midlife wasn’t worthy of a crisis. But after a violent home invasion ignites a dormant purpose, Alex battles a lifetime of failed commitments by joining the Pierce County Police Department as a rookie. Policing from the urban coast to the rural forest where backup isn’t just five minutes away, Alex must prove to his skeptical training officer, his fellow rookies and himself that he’s finally found something worthy of the fight.

The series stars Jay Ellis, Chris Sullivan, Karen Fukuhara, Froy Gutierrez, Janet Montgomery, Mya Lowe and Malik Watson.
