NOVEMBER 18 - HBO's JAGGED *Documentary Premiere*
- JAGGED, the second documentary in HBO's MUSIC BOX series, debuts Thursday, Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. ET. JAGGED takes viewers back to 1995 when a 21-year-old Alanis Morissette burst onto the music scene with the first single off her groundbreaking album "Jagged Little Pill." With a rawness and emotional honesty that resonated with millions, and despite a commercial landscape that preferred its rock stars to be male, she took radio and MTV by storm and the album went on to sell 33 million copies. Featuring an in-depth interview with Alanis, as well as never-before-seen archival material, JAGGED explores her beginnings as a young Canadian pop star, the rocky path she faced navigating the male-dominated music industry, and the glass ceiling she shattered on her journey to becoming the international icon and empowered artist she is today.
- Created by Emmy-nominated writer/producer Mindy Kaling (THE OFFICE) and Justin Noble (BROOKLYN NINE-NINE), the HBO Max Original series THE SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS begins streaming Thursday, Nov. 18 with two episodes. The best years of their lives are about to begin when four college roommates arrive at New England's prestigious Essex College. A bundle of contradictions and hormones, these girls are equal parts loveable and infuriating as they live out their new, free lives on campus. The 10-episode series continues with three new episodes streaming 25 and Dec. 2, leading up to the final two episodes of the season on Dec. 9.
- Season four of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY finds Captain Burnham and the crew of the S.S. Discovery facing a threat unlike any they've ever encountered.

Featured as part of The New York Times Presents series, a collection of standalone documentaries representing unparalleled journalism, MALFUNCTION features rare footage and interviews with several people who were at the controls that night in Houston - including NFL and MTV executives - to reconstruct an incident that shook the country, and explain how it shaped culture in the decades to follow. With new reporting by the Times, as well as insights from music industry insiders, cultural critics, and members of the Jackson family, the film illuminates the extraordinary fallout, CBS executive Les Moonves' role, and Justin Timberlake's parallel career rise.

- STARZ's POWER BOOK II: GHOST, the second book in the growing POWER universe, returns Sunday, Nov. 21. Season 2 brings high stakes challenges, and even bigger ethical dilemmas for the characters. Forced into the choice to take the life of his professor, Jabari Reynolds (Justin McManus, BLUE BLOODS), Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr., LUV) finds himself drifting further from that which he's been fighting to protect: his family. With Tasha (Naturi Naughton, Notorious) in witness protection, Tariq knows he must sacrifice anything to save what's left of his family. Unable to do it alone, he turns to those wielding power and influence: Davis MacLean (Method Man, THE WIRE) and his new partner, Cooper Saxe (Shane Johnson, Saving Private Ryan), as well as Rashad Tate (Larenz Tate, Love Jones). All of these options come with a steep price, so it's back to business with the Tejadas. However, with two murders involving Stansfield, Monet Tejada (Mary J. Blige, Respect) must question if Tariq is what's best for her family. POWER BOOK II: GHOST follows a weekly release schedule with new episodes streaming Sundays.
- Spotlighting The Black and Missing Foundation's commitment to locating missing persons of colour, HBO's four-part docuseries BLACK AND MISSING premieres Tuesday, Nov. 23 at 8 p.m. ET. Haunted by stories of vanished loved ones, and driven by the need for attention and assistance for these forgotten women, former law enforcement officer Derrica, and public relations expert Natalie operate a grassroots organization that raises awareness in communities, alerts media outlets to the plight of thousands of women and children, and urges police departments to allocate more resources to this scourge. Cases of missing Black people remain unresolved four times longer than those of white people. BLACK AND MISSING pulls back the curtain to explore how systemic behaviours and attitudes stem from centuries of deeply rooted racism. The series also exposes the stark disparity in the media coverage of white and black missing persons. All four episodes of the series drop November 23.
- 'Tis the season for holiday movies! Directed by Canadian filmmaker Michael Dowse, and starring Neil Patrick Harris (HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER), 8 BIT CHRISTMAS joins Crave on Wednesday, Nov. 24.

Additional cast includes Steve Zahn (THE WHITE LOTUS), David Cross (MR. SHOW), and June Diane Raphael (Long Shot).
