In addition, the network confirms new season orders for some of its most talked-about series such as "Ladies of London" season two, "Don't Be Tardy..." season four, "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" season eight and "Manzo'd with Children"season two. Last year, Bravo entered the scripted arena with the premiere of "Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce" from Universal Cable Productions (UCP), which was recently picked up for a second season. The network will continue this trajectory in 2015 with the premiere of its first half-hour comedy series, "Odd Mom Out," premiering with back-to-back episodes on Monday, June 8 at 10pm ET/PT.

Esquire Network today announced a robust slate of innovative programming initiatives for 2015 including five original series. The new line-up of highly engaging content features COMEDIANS OF L.A. (WT), a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind series produced in partnership with Oxygen utilizing one cast for two different shows providing viewers a 'his and hers' point of view. GOING DEEP WITH DAVID REES,SOMM (WT), THE AGENT and UNITED STATES OF BURGERS round out the network's 2015 new programming slate.

OxygenMedia continues its commitment to increase original programming with eight new series targeting millennial women. Reinforcing the network's new programming filter, these vibrant and bold series include"Douglas Family Gold," "The Hustle," "Pretty. Strong.," "Player Gets Played," "Boss Nails" and the third installment of the popular franchise, "Preachers of Atlanta." The network secured the exclusive cable distribution for the half-hour Syndicated daily comedic show, "Crazy Talk," debuting this fall from NBCUniversal Domestic Television Distribution.

An unprecedented co-production, Oxygen and Esquire Network have greenlit companion docu-series featuring talented and successful comedians, but with an emphasis on different aspects of their lives and told from different viewpoints. The Oxygen series, "Living With Funny," follows their personal lives and relationships, while the Esquire series, "Comedians of L.A.," focuses on the working life of a stand-up comedian onstage, backstage, and offstage. The series will air during the same period on each network so fans can follow both shows seamlessly.

After becoming the network's highest-rated freshman series premiere among all key demos in 2014, "Sisterhood of Hip Hop" has been picked up for season two with all five cast members returning. In addition, successful business mavens Randi Zuckerberg, Ido Leffler, Sarah Prevette and Lauren Maillian will serve as mentors and investors on "Time to Quit Your Day Job." Previously announced as "The Investment Club," this risk-taking new series brings passionate young hopefuls together to pitch their innovative new products and make their mark as successful entrepreneurs.
