Turner Broadcasting Crashes Upfronts, Announces Summer Schedule

The Upfronts are usually reserved for networks only  but when you’re Ted Turner, the rules don’t apply. In an unprecedented move for a cable company, Turner announced TNT’s summer schedule and teased other upcoming projects as part of the upfronts in New York this week. They even brought out some serious star power  like Jada Pinkett Smith (who has a new series debuting on TNT, Hawthorne) and her hubby Will Smith.

Here’s a look at TNT’s summer original programming airing this summer:

Monday
9 p.m.: The Closer
10 p.m.: Raising the Bar
