Ten have launched a new promotion, asking viewers to take a “fresh look at Ten”. The network promises new content including Underground: The Julian Assange Story, new US series The New Normal and Ben and Kate as well as Vegas.

New seasons fast tracked to Ten in October include: Homeland, New Girl, The Good Wife, Glee, Modern Family, Merlin, Hawaii Five-O, NCIS, NCIS: LA and Law & Order: SVU.

Details of when some of these programs will air will be released on Sunday (subject to embargo), with others to follow over the next week or so.

Expect to see more of this campaign over coming weeks.

***Guest starring HOMELAND’s Morena Baccarin as Isobel Swift

The brilliant Colin Sweeney; played to creepy perfection by Dylan Baker, returns this week as his former employee (Baccarin’s character) accuses him of sexual harassment, demanding child support of the son that he has allegedly fathered. In true Sweeney fashion, you never quite know if he’s telling the truth under oath and what secret motives the businessman has up his sleeve in order to come out on top.
