Tonight is the 90-minute series premiere of Preacher on AMC at 10/9c. Based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s popular ’90’s comic book franchise of the same name, the ten-episode season was developed for television by executive producers Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg (This Is the End, Superbad, Neighbors) and executive producer and showrunner Sam Catlin (Breaking Bad). This is a supernatural, twisted and darkly comedic drama that follows a West Texas preacher named Jesse Custer, who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that causes him to develop a highly unusual power. Jesse, his badass ex-girlfriend Tulip and an Irish vagabond named Cassidy come together and when they do, they are thrust into a crazy world populated by a cast of characters from Heaven, Hell and everywhere in between. The show stars Derek Wilson, Dominic Cooper, Elizabeth Perkins, Ian Colletti, Jamie Anne Allman, Joseph Gilgun, Lucy Griffiths, Ruth Negga, & Tom Brooke.

Tonight is the series premiere of Cake Hunters on Cooking Channel at 10/9c. The perfect party needs the perfect cake, and that’s where Cake Hunters comes in! For weddings, family reunions and more, party hosts meet with three cake designers who present their jaw-dropping concepts to make the perfect complement to their big bashes. And once the winning design is picked, will the cake make it to the party on the big day on time and in one piece?
 
Tonight is also the series premiere of Douglas Family Gold on Oxygen at 10/9c. Following gold medal gymnast Gabby Douglas and her support system, which include matriarch Natalie Hawkins, sisters Arielle “Arie” Hawkins, Joyelle “Joy” Douglas, brother, Johnathan Douglas and grandmother Miss Carolyn Ford, this series chronicles their journey and sacrifices as Gabby heads back to the Olympic Games and attempts a history-making performance. At 16, Gabrielle “Gabby” Douglas stunned the world in 2012 by becoming the first African American in history to win the USA team and individual all-around gold medals at the Summer Olympics. Now 20, after a couple of years away from the sport, Gabby returns laser-focused, more confident and doesn’t just want to be on the medal podium in Rio, she wants gold. Behind her meteoric rise was a family willing to sacrifice everything to help her accomplish her dreams. This time, as Gabby trains tirelessly in Ohio with her grandmother by her side, the rest of the family keeps busy juggling Gabby’s business and their own lives back in California. Her brother John is a standout athlete in track, while devoted sisters Arie and Joy are eager to blaze their own paths with “Momager” Natalie keeping this tight-knit family in-check. With Gabby’s dogged determination and her family’s unwavering support, this dream team proves that sometimes things are better the second time around.
