In today’s TV news roundup, OWN premiered a trailer for its new legal drama “Delilah,” and Charter Communications announced that president and chief operating officer John Bickham will retire in 2022.
FIRST LOOKS
OWN dropped a trailer for “Delilah,” which hails from Craig Wright. The new drama series, which is set to debut in March, follows its titular character (played by Maahra Hill) after she leaves a prestigious white-shoe law firm to raise her children. Now, she takes on oft-ignored cases, representing disenfranchised groups and going toe-to-toe with the powerful and privileged. But this time, she’s up against her best friend and fellow attorney Tamara (Jill Marie Jones) — and lives are at stake. Watch the trailer below.
