Man With A Plan and Star Trek: Discovery have been announced as new acquisitions for E4.

Man With A Plan

Friends star Matt LeBlanc plays Adam, a father who is new to being a stay-at-home parent and quickly learns that parenting is far more demanding than he expected.

When his wife Andi (Liza Snyder) returns to work, Adam tries to keep the house in order but when his three children prove to be anything but little angels, he finds out he has his work cut out.

 

Star Trek: Discovery

Initially on CBS All Access, the sci-fi series is set 10 years prior to the events of Star Trek: The Original Series.

Following anthropologist Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), who attempts to save her ship’s captain but is blamed for starting an inter-galactic war between the United Federation of Planets and the Klingons.

Assigned to join the crew of the USS Discovery, Burnham is tasked to help end the war that she is accused of starting.

Barry Chamberlain, President of Sales at CBS Studios International, commented: “We’re excited to bring the linear television rights for Star Trek: Discovery to the international market and launch in the UK with our valued friends at Channel 4.”

“This agreement features the best of both worlds -- premium subscription content from a global franchise and a very popular network comedy from America’s Most-Watched Network.” 

 

Both series will air on E4 in 2020.
