My Life on a Plate

The teams are set, and it's time for the competition to begin.

The first challenge is a group challenge, where the competitors get help from their respective mentors in cooking to a theme -- this time it's "My Life On a Plate". Each contestant must cook a dish or use ingredients that hold a special place in their hearts. Each mentor must then pick one of their team's dishes to be judged blind by famed chef Edward Lee. The mentor of the team that finishes on the bottom has to send home someone from their own team. Ouch.

Next up, the contestants must cook on their own so the mentors can judge blind. The mentors taste everything, and then each picks their favorite dish -- which earns a gold star -- and their least favorite -- which earns a red star.

The Season 2 Finale

The first challenge will be judged blind by one of the most chefs of all time: Jacques Pepin. The theme of the challenge is Rich & Poor. The chefs must cook one rich dish -- something fancy made with decadent, expensive ingredients -- and one poor dish -- something made with more humble ingredients. But of course, they both need to be tasty. All four chefs put their dishes forward; whoever Chef Pepin picks as his worst will be eliminated on the spot.

For the final challenge, to be judged by the panel of mentors, the three remaining chefs have to cook three dishes: breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Unknown Serial Killers of America

Each year the FBI estimates between 25 to 50 active serial killers hunt their prey in America, taking the lives of hundreds of innocent people annually. Often these killings keep a city on edge, a heavy fear permeating the night air before these predators are taken off our streets. Just ask those who lived through the terror of The Night Stalker, Son of Sam or The Grim Sleeper. And years later the public still can't seem to get enough of their stories which continue to be retold in documentaries and limited series. Yet for every Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy who became part of the zeitgeist and remains with us like a dark specter, there are hundreds of other unknown serial killers whose horrific actions were just as terrifying, if not worse. This new series will profile these unknown serial killers who operated in silence. Their murders haunted law enforcement, who were unable to connect all their sick dots, as more innocent lives were lost until the killers were eventually caught.

The Gilded Age

The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of huge fortunes made and lost, and the rise of disparity between old money and new.

Against this backdrop of change, the story begins in 1882 — introducing young Marian Brook, the orphaned daughter of a Union general, who moves into the New York City home of her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn and Ada Brook. Accompanied by Peggy Scott, an accomplished African-American woman, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George and Bertha Russell.

In this exciting new world that is on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?
