In this finale episode of the relationship series, Pastor Calvin Roberson and Dr. Viviana Coles mentor two unlucky-in-love single men who have been hoping to find their perfect match. Momma's boy, Frank, is a shy, over-thinking perfectionist who's not confident with himself or the men he dates. Sam, in contrast, is an over-the-top, full-of-himself, eccentric wildflower who is all over the place and can't pick a direction to save his life. The experts work to rein Sam in, while pushing Frank to let loose.

Over 65,000 people have applied to participate in the hit series, Married at First Sight and our experts have seen more than a few memorable diamonds in the rough who aren't quite marriage material... yet. Since everyone deserves a chance at love, this new spinoff series helps match 8 new potential couples, providing each of the 16 individuals from Atlanta, GA with strong relationship advice and a lifestyle overhaul. The process will give them each an opportunity to shed light on what has been stalling real romantic connections in their lives.

Trapped: The Alex Cooper Story

Sunday, June 6 at 10am/9c

Based on the memoir "Saving Alex," the film follows the harrowing journey of 15-year-old Alex (Addison Holley), who after revealing she was gay to her devout Mormon parents, was sent away and trapped for eight-months in 'conversion therapy,' enduring horrible punishment at the hands of strangers. Against insurmountable odds, Alex was able to escape and went on to become an important activist in the fight to end these cruel practices. Since the premiere of Trapped and with the added attention to Alex's story and others from the movie's debut, Utah has now passed legislation fully banning conversion therapy for minors. Trapped earned a GLAAD Media Award nomination last year.

Trapped: The Alex Cooper Story is produced by SilverScreen Pictures and executive produced by Jeffrey Hunt, Kyle Clark and Lina Wong. Jeffrey Hunt directed from a script by Michelle Paradise.

Prayers for Bobby

Sunday, June 20 at 10am/9c

Three-time Academy(R) Award nominee Sigourney Weaver stars as Mary Griffith, a profoundly religious wife and mother who began to question her faith after the suicide of her gay son Bobby (Ryan Kelley). Ultimately, with the posthumous acceptance of her son's homosexuality, Mary drew on the strength and comfort from the gay community, particularly PFLAG, and became a staunch advocate for gay rights before passing away in 2020.

Weaver earned Emmy(R) award, Golden Globe award and Screen Actors Guild award nominations for her emotionally wrenching lead role. The film also received Emmy(R) award 'Outstanding Made for Television Movie' and Producers Guild of America award 'Outstanding Producer of Long-Form Television' nominations and won a GLAAD Media Award. Prayers for Bobby is based on a true story adapted from the landmark Harper Collins book by journalist Leroy Aarons. Dan Butler, Henry Czerny, Austin Nichols and Carly Schroeder also star.

Prayers for Bobby is produced by Once Upon A Time Films in association with Permut Presentations and Sladek Taaffe Productions for Lifetime Television. Damian Ganczewski is producer. Stanley M. Brooks, David Permut, Daniel Sladek and Chris Taaffe are executive producers. Russell Mulcahy directed from a script by Katie Ford. The movie is also available to rent on iTunes.
