WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY'S ENTERTAINMENT NETWORKS TOUT ROBUST PROGRAMMING LINEUP AT NEW YORK UPFRONT PRESENTATION

Channing Dungey, Chairman and CEO of the Warner Bros. Television Group and US Networks, Readies New Culture-Shaping Series and Influential Genre-Defining Programming With Hollywood Celebrities, Popular Network Stars, and Iconic IP

New York [May 14, 2025] Channing Dungey, Chairman and CEO of the Warner Bros. Television Group and US Networks, announced programming plans and outlined a vision for the entertainment networks during the 2025 Upfront presentation for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). Dungey, who assumed oversight of such brands as Discovery, Food Network, HGTV, Investigation Discovery, TBS, TNT, TLC, Adult Swim, OWN and others in January, shared her top priorities for the portfolio which are to create the next generation of culture-shaping programming, broaden collaboration with WBD's streaming platform HBO Max(R) to attract unique audiences, and enhance and extend the power of the group's premium brands.

"Our strength lies in our ability to create shows that dominate the zeitgeist," said Dungey. "We produced six of the top 10 new unscripted series on cable last year, and we'll continue to push the boundaries of great storytelling to serve the dedicated fans of our signature franchises in bold new ways."

Dungey announced several exciting new series for 2025/2026 during the presentation to advertisers at Madison Square Garden, including:

· Food Network's competition show Family Recipe Showdown, produced and hosted by Academy Award(R)-winning actress Octavia Spencer, and Guy's Flavortown Games (wt), featuring Emmy(R) Award-winning host and restaurateur Guy Fieri;

· Discovery's Dancing With Sharks (wt), a Shark Week special hosted by Emmy(R) Award-winning television personality Tom Bergeron;

· Investigation Discovery's (ID) They Know What They Did, narrated and executive produced by Golden Globe(R) Award-nominated actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. ID also will premiere a compelling new series that features an unprecedented collaboration between Vanity Fair Studios and Dick Wolf's Wolf Entertainment;

· HGTV's latest home renovation competition Renovating the Bachelor Mansion (wt); and

· OWN's new reality series Heart & Hustle: Houston (wt).

Dungey also previewed TLC's upcoming 90 Day: Hunt for Love, the next spin-off in the 90 Day Fiancé juggernaut, and TNT's High Value Target (wt), a new scripted limited series about the interrogation of Saddam Hussein. She also confirmed that the first season of HBO Max(R) and Warner Bros. Television's breakout hit medical drama The Pitt will premiere on TNT in advance of the show's season two premiere on HBO Max(R).

These are among the many popular series that will return for new seasons: Food Network's Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking, HGTV's Ugliest House in America, and Adult Swim's Rick and Morty and My Adventures with Superman.

Beyond television, Dungey highlighted the strong social footprint of the networks. She also underscored partnership opportunities with the Food Network Kitchen, at the HGTV Dream Home or HGTV Smart Home, at the TCM Film Festival, and with Adult Swim on the Green at San Diego Comic-Con.

Here are a few upcoming new series:

Food Network

Guy's Flavortown Games (wt)

Fresh off the season finale of Tournament of Champions, which delivered Food Network's highest-rated telecast in two years, Emmy(R) Award-winning host and restaurateur Guy Fieri brings his iconic Flavortown to life. In the new competition series Guy's Flavortown Games (wt), slated to premiere in early 2026 on Food Network and HBO Max(R), two fearless chefs accept Guy's invitation to the epic restaurant row at the heart of Flavortown Square. Their goal: to prove they have the cooking cred to prepare a winning dish in any type of kitchen imaginable - from an awesome smashburger in the cramped food truck to a Michelin-worthy dinner in the state-of-the-art kitchen of a fine dining restaurant. The chef who makes the best dish in each round gets to choose their own culinary adventure by selecting the unique restaurant and cuisine they'll have to tackle next. In the town that Guy built, choosing the right restaurant can change your fortune.

Family Recipe Showdown

Going back to her Southern roots, Academy Award(R)-winning actress Octavia Spencer hosts a multi-generational home cooking competition that celebrates secret family recipes and traditions - where pride is on the line and the stakes are deeply personal as duos compete for a $10,000 prize. Set against the backdrop of New Orleans, Southern cooking royalty and expert judge Edgar "Dook" Chase is joined by guest judges and Octavia's celebrity friends, including Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Chastain, Danielle Brooks, Eric Stonestreet, Tina Knowles, Kandi Burrus, Tim Gunn, and Al Roker with his daughter Leila. Family Recipe Showdown will debut later in 2025 on Food Network and HBO Max(R).

OWN

Heart & Hustle: Houston (wt)

Heart & Hustle: Houston (wt), produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment in their first-ever foray into the unscripted ensemble arena, follows a dynamic sisterhood of successful Black women in the vibrant heart of Houston. These women are redefining what it means to be a boss, a wife and a mother, while navigating a labyrinth of unique daily challenges. Despite appearing to 'have it all,' they face insecurities and pressures to maintain a perfect image. Their unbreakable bond of friendship and support helps them rise above the chaos, reminding them it's okay to be 'perfectly imperfect.' The series will premiere in Summer 2025 on OWN.

During their time together, Nixon began to understand the potential consequences of the invasion, humanitarian horrors and geopolitical turbulence that would follow Saddam's deposing.
