‘The Kennedys After Camelot’ on REELZ: We Talk with Stars Katie Holmes and Matthew Perry

In 2011, REELZ took a mighty chance on The Kennedys, an unvarnished, ambitious and star-packed Canadian miniseries about America’s de facto royal family. Assailed before it even hit the airwaves and rejected by both History and Showtime, The Kennedys made its U.S. debut on the little-known network that April, earning solid ratings, four Emmy wins and another six Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Miniseries or Movie. Six years later, The Kennedys gets a two-night sequel called The Kennedys — After Camelot. After Camelot is based on a J. Randy Taraborrelli bestseller — this time encompassing an expansive time frame “from Robert […]

REELZ announced today that it has acquired the rights to exclusively telecast the 2015 Miss USA Pageant on Sunday, July 12, at 8pm ET. According to Stan E. Hubbard, […]

Tamara Green speaks out in REELZ Bill Cosby special

Rumors of Bill Cosby drugging and sexually assaulting women have swirled for decades, but have often been brushed aside, as it was hard for most people to see “America’s Dad” doing such things. But in recent months, the heat has intensified on Cosby, with more and more women coming out about their alleged experiences with the now-77-year-old comedian, some of which date back 30 years or more. NBC declined to continue developing a new series it had in the works starring Cosby, and Netflix has postponed a Cosby comedy special, based on these accounts and the backlash the star is […]

Harvey Levin, creator and managing editor of TMZ, said in a release: “This is an especially exciting venture for us because we think we can attract sports fans who love athletes and non-sports fans who are interested in athletes who […]

Being surrounded by a table full of Capones — in Chicago, no less — might not sound like the most comfortable place to be, but that’s where I found myself one warm September afternoon. Sitting in the cozy confines of a suburban restaurant that is the setting for much of the action in ReelzChannel’s latest reality series, The Capones, the stars talk about their famous legacy and why they believe their everyday lives will make for good television. “For a long time people always said, ‘You have such a cool life and so many cool things that go on, you […]
