"How does the widowed leader of the free world balance his many obligations to his country with the ordinary demands and everyday rites of courtship? When President Andrew Shepherd, quite unexpectedly, falls in love with Sydney Wade, an environmental lobbyist, he must overcome obstacles not faced by average citizens; he must worry that the public's right to know will collide with the desire for personal privacy. He must contend with approval ratings, an inquiring press and an aggressive political opponent just to go on a date. The President's advisors, chief of staff, domestic policy advisor, White House pollster and press secretary help him get through his busy schedule, deal with demands of congress and quell any global predicaments. But political crises are different than personal ones and somehow the American President alone must find a way to balance his love for his country with his love for an incredible woman."

• Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, 2025, 8:00 p.m.:

"A dark night. A crowded diner. A man with a detonator bursts in proclaiming to be from the future. This is the 117th time he’s returned with the same imperative. Before time runs out, he must recruit a group of distinctly unqualified diner patrons (Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, and Juno Temple) to stop the impending AI apocalypse and save humanity from the perils of social media. The problem? Everything is stacked against them--from skeptical strangers and brain-rotted teenagers, to algorithmic monstrosities beyond their control. But if this unlikely group can pull it off, the world might just turn out okay.... Or not, I dunno!"
