New seris premiring this winter on TMN are Spartacus: Blood and Sand, the third season of Secret Diary of a Call Girl, La La Land and more!
STARZ ORIGINALS
Spartacus: Blood and Sand (New)
Premieres Monday, January 25 at 9 p.m. (13 x 60 min; drama)
This new, graphic and visceral action-adventure series tells the classic tale of the legendary Spartacus, who was betrayed by the Romans, forced into slavery and reborn as a gladiator in Ancient Rome. Torn from his homeland and the woman he loves, Spartacus is condemned to the brutal world of the arena where blood and death are primetime entertainment and treachery, corruption and the allure of sensual pleasures constantly test him. Starring Andy Whitfield, Lucy Lawless, John Hannah and Peter Mensah.
SHOWTIME ORIGINALS
Secret Diary of a Call Girl (Season 3)
Premieres Monday, January 25 at 10 p.m. (8 x 30 min; comedy)
Based on best-selling, real-life diaries, this provocative half-hour British comedy series is back for a third season and continues to take an inside look at the secret double life of a high-end London call girl. Starring British actress Billie Piper as Hannah, who by day is a legal secretary clocking in regular hours, and by night is Belle, the answer to all men’s fantasies.
Tracey Ullman’s State of the Union (Season 3)
Premieres Monday, January 25 at 10:30 p.m. (7 x 30 min; comedy)
In this series, the Emmy®-nominated duo of Penn & Teller fearlessly expose dubious practices across America, and uncover the truth behind so-called miracles, false promises, and questionable doings. From anti-aging to talking to the dead, they tackle it all with their trademark wit and humour.
La La Land (New)
Premieres Monday, January 25 at 11 p.m. (6 x 30 min; comedy)
In this half-hour reality comedy series from Showtime, British comedian Mark Wootton stars as three different wannabes struggling to find fame and fortune in Los Angeles. Wootton plays “Brendan Allen,” a talentless documentary filmmaker on a quest to become the next Morgan Spurlock; “Shirley Ghostman,” a medium willing to lie, cheat and even drug his way to becoming America's next psychic superstar; and “Gary Garner,” an East-London taxi driver using the inheritance from his late porn-star mother to forge a career as an action star like his hero Jason Statham. Written by Wootton and Peter Baynham (Borat), La La Land is a hybrid of documentary and comedy where Wootton plays fictitious characters, while everybody else, including his accomplices, are completely real and unaware they are talking to an actor.
Nurse Jackie (Season 2)

In this series, the Emmy®-nominated duo of Penn & Teller fearlessly expose dubious practices across America, and uncover the truth behind so-called miracles, false promises, and questionable doings. From anti-aging to talking to the dead, they tackle it all with their trademark wit and humour.
