So relax, unwind, and escape, as the laughs, gasps, tears, and cheers get underway with the season’s hottest new dating series and eight returning favourites, beginning Monday, May 28.

Then, it’s lights, camera, talent as smash hit America’s Got Talent – featuring judges Simon Cowell, Canadian Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Mel B, and host Tyra Banks – and new episodes of Little Big Shots (hosted by Steve Harvey) return to the summer spotlight. And everyone’s favourite new and nostalgic game shows are back, with all-new seasons of Love Connection and Beat Shazam, hosted by Andy Cohen and Jamie Foxx, respectively, and Canadian duo Will Arnett (executive producer and judge) and Mike Myers (host, as “Tommy Maitland”) return for another hit of the gong on The Gong Show. This season’s roster of new and returning celebrity judges includes Jimmy Kimmel, Braid Paisley, Jason Sudeikis, Dana Carvey, Ken Jeong, and more.

SUMMER – NEW REALITY
The Proposal (s): Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT, beginning June 18
Hosted by former NFL quarterback and Season 5 Bachelor Jesse Palmer, each one-hour episode of the 10-episode series will follow a group of male or female daters as they attempt to woo a mystery suitor with their words in a first-impressions round; bare their souls in a beachwear round; answer the mystery suitor’s most pressing romantic questions; and strive to receive a seal of approval from the mystery suitor’s most-trusted family member in the final round.
After each phase, the daters who fail to connect with the mystery suitor are whittled down, leading to the ultimate reveal – two remaining daters finally meet the mystery suitor for the first time and present a romantic proposal of their choice.
