Events Unlimited: In his role as elite cop Jo (produced by Atlantique Productions) Jean Reno stops at nothing to solve mysterious murder cases. Fighting crime alongside Reno are Jill Hennessy ("Crossing Jordan") and Tom Austen ("The Borgias") while Hollywood newcomer Heida Reed ("One Day") plays Jo's estranged daughter Adèle. Filmed in English and on location in Paris, the crime series was created by Emmy Award winner René Balcer ("Law & Order", "Law & Order: Criminal Intent"). Restless (produced by Endor Productions for the BBC and Sundance Channel) is a compelling espionage thriller set in World War II starring Hayley Atwell, Rufus Sewell and Michelle Dockery. Based on William Boyd's international bestseller, the miniseries shows the duplicitous life of a female spy during World War II. The thriller The Spy (produced by Aspekt Telefilm-Produktion Berlin GmbH) tells the true story of Vera Schalburg: one of Germany's top secret agents in 1940, Vera and two other agents are sent out for their most important mission which ends in a fiasco. Drama at its best: The Legacy of the Taveling Whore (produced by TV 60 Filmproduktion GmbH) is the third installment of SAT.1's most successful event movie brand of all time. Set in the Middle Ages the opulent production tells the story of former whore Marie, who is kidnapped by the king's mistress.

From the creator of International Emmy Award winning Benidorm Bastards (produced by SHELTER) comes the clip show 2.0 Heroes of the Internet (produced by SHELTER), bringing us hilarious pranks, awkward moments and curious accidents. And in the game show Body & Brain (created by Red Seven Entertainment produced by R.T.I. S.P.A) two contestants go after a huge cash prize. The catch: neither has a chance without the other one's help - and they have never seen each other before! Drama Series: Aspiring plastic surgeon Dr. David Heller plans to land a position at an elite private clinic. Instead he ends up temporarily taking over an old doctor's practice - together with Nina Hansen, David's exact opposite: Heller & Hansen - Docs Apart (produced by Sony Pictures Film und Fernseh Produktions GmbH). Jessica has it all - the perfect figure, great charisma and success in her dream job. The dramedy shows what happens to Jessica after The Big Switch (produced by Producers at Work GmbH) when she wakes up one morning with several extra pounds on her hips. While Detective Gerry is the ultimate urban cowboy his new partner is a "do-gooder" and stickler for rules. Now both Cop & Snob (produced by Constantin Television GmbH) have to combine their unique talents to solve the unusual cases coming their way. In Family Undercover (produced by H & V Entertainment) top-notch cop Hans has to go into Witness Protection after infiltrating the Ukrainian Mafia - dragging along his teenage kids. In season four the highly trained professionals of the MPU - Missing Persons Unit (produced by Eyeworks) dedicate their lives to tracking down and rescuing missing people. In their fourth season the detectives in Zone City (produced by Studio-A) are determined not only to catch culprits but to find out which personal tragedy is at the heart of the crimes they investigate. Comedy Series: Scoring record ratings on NBC, Betty White and her fearless gang of seniors are back for a second season of Betty White's Off Their Rockers (produced by Kinetic Content), a hidden-camera series where senior citizens prank unsuspecting youngsters. For her outstanding work, Betty White was nominated for an Emmy Award as Best Host. Betty White's Off Their Rockers is based on International Emmy Award and Rose d'Or winning Benidorm Bastards (produced by SHELTER). Movies: With over 15 new movies - including high quality, star loaded TV movies from US top-notch TV producer Larry Levinson and from Chesler/Perlmutter Productions - Red Arrow International's movie line up offers everything from crime over drama to romantic comedy. Ex-colleagues Jenna and Kyle cannot stand each other, but have to start getting along in order to secure a Baby Bonus (produced by Chesler/Perlmutter Productions) for their siblings. On her search for true love, Melanie is assisted by a Matchmaker Santa (produces by Larry Levinson Productions). And Jack tries to impress the girl of his dreams in the romantic comedy Keep on Dancing (produced by Chesler/Perlmutter Productions). Upcoming Events: With millions of fans around the world, LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch (produced by Fuse Entertainment) finally comes to TV in 2013.
