A&E Network will premiere the original scripted drama series, “The Beast” on January 15th at 10PM ET/PT. "The Beast," starring Patrick Swayze and Travis Fimmel, centers on an unorthodox but effective FBI veteran, Charles Barker (Swayze), who takes on a rookie partner, Ellis Dove (Fimmel), to train in his hard-edged and psychologically clever style of agenting.

In the premiere episode of "The Beast," the mischievous Barker hazes Dove as they go undercover on their first case to infiltrate a weapons smuggling ring. Barker brilliantly manipulates situations, constantly tests his new partner’s abilities and pushes him to delve deeper into the roles of the undercover characters he creates. Although Dove takes a liking to Barker, the new job takes its toll on him. The stress and danger of being an agent quickly makes him realize that he can no longer maintain normal relationships outside of work. Yet that’s not the worst of it. The rookie is confronted with a larger challenge: An FBI Internal Affairs team feels Barker may have gone rogue and they try to enlist Dove as a double-agent in the bureau's investigation of his mentor.

'THE TWO COREYS' RETURNS TO A&E WITH A STARK LOOK AT HAIM & FELDMAN'S DAMAGED RELATIONSHIP

The first season of "The Two Coreys" left Corey Feldman and Corey Haim at loggerheads over their personal and professional relationship. With a no-holds-barred fresh look at the two former friends' damaged relationship. Nothing they say or do is off-limits to the cameras in this new cinema verite take on the 80's icons.

Corey Haim & Corey Feldman give deep, personal access to their storied friendship like never before which lends the show rare honesty and candor. Throughout the series, Feldman and Haim try a variety of tasks to resuscitate their relationship. Like a couple that has grown apart, they will need to go back to their roots to rediscover the bond that once made them closer than brothers, learn to trust one another again, and ultimately find common ground in the present. Along the way, both Coreys will deal with very real issues (including their reunion on Lost Boys 2), go to therapy sessions together, reveal their demons and confront their storied pasts.

You can now even play the Corey vs. Corey game and see by choosing your Corey and give a beating to the competition! Complete with punches, kicks, and Corey-centric special moves, it's the best way to see which Corey is the strongest.


A&E will chronicle the case files of the Paranormal Research Society (PRS), a renowned group comprised of Penn State University college students, in the dramatic new Real-Life series PARANORMAL STATE.

Ryan Buell is clearly no ordinary college student. He's the director/founder of PRS and the central character in PARANORMAL STATE. Ryan and his college-age team of paranormal investigators spend their time investigating the strange and bizarre while trying to find balance within their young adult lives. And it's never easy. The PRS team, which Ryan started in 2001, has worked on cases involving demonic possession and exorcism, assisted law enforcement on missing person's cases, and have brought peace to frightened families.

Penn State University student Ryan Buell gets a call from a client telling him that her eight-year-old son is seeing dead people in the family's new home. Ryan has a deep connection to this child before they even meet, as he too was terrified by paranormal experiences as a kid. Ryan and the PRS team travel to the client's home, interview the family and child and investigate to determine if there is evidence of paranormal activity or if what they are witnessing is just the imagination of a child. As if this wasn't enough for a paranormal investigator to handle, Ryan must be back in time for his Economics class the next morning.

Intervention is an influential and riveting television series in which addicts confront there dependencies on drugs, alcohol, or other compulsive behaviors.

Each Intervention episode ends with a surprise intervention that is staged by the family and friends of the alcohol or drug addict, and which is conducted by one of four Intervention specialists: Jeff VanVonderen, Candy Flinnigan, Ken Seeley and Tara Fields.

Cleaner Review: A&E's new drama The Cleaner stars Benjamin Bratt, Grace Park, and Esteban Powell who form a rough around the edges team that go to any extremes to save people from being killed by there own addictions. But the Banks family is compromised due to Williams questionable situation that keeps him out all night and away from his family.

In the pilot you see that William Banks (Bratt) has made a deal with God after hitting rock bottom with his own drug problem, to help anyone he can beat there addiction.

Benjamin Bratt's plays a powerful character that is intense and likable in a no nonsense kind of way. But at the end of a day your heart seems to go out to him as he puts his life on the line for others. Grace Park and Esteban Powell also deliver strong performances playing Banks team members Akani and Arnie who have also beaten addictions. This show is intense but compelling and is sure to make you come back for more.

As in any pilot many questions arise during the show… Will the Banks family fall apart due to Williams secrets? Will Arnie step up and decide this is what he was meant to do?

-Erin
