“Smash,” the NBC series about the lives of New Yorkers who put on Broadway musicals may not have survived the primetime television ratings wars, but the series will live on in reruns.
Ovation has picked up the options to show the drama.
The arts network will premiere the series beginning Friday, July 19 at 8 p.m. ET with subsequent episodes airing every Friday at the same time. Season two is set to debut on Ovation in November.
“Smash” is exactly the kind of art-centric programming that Ovation’s viewers crave. This high-quality series fits in brilliantly with our efforts to showcase the powerful role that the arts play in our lives,” said Ovation chief creative officer Robert Weiss. “Ovation is thrilled to satisfy the wishes of diehard Smash fans and followers to keep the series alive, as well as to provide viewers, who are new to the series, an opportunity to experience the incredible talent, music, dancing, drama and excitement.”
“Smash” stars Debra Messing, Katharine McPhee, Jack Davenport, Christian Borle, Megan Hilty, Jeremy Jordan, Leslie Odom, Jr., Krysta Rodriguez, Andy Mientus, and Anjelica Huston.
