Ava Duvernay‘s immersive new TV show has scored a release date!

Details on the captivating ‘Red Line’ below…

Ava’s series will air on CBS with an April 28th launch date and will pull viewers into the lives of three Chicago families whose stories will interconnect as the lines between love, life, class, danger and betrayal are crossed.

CBS was scheduled to air one episode a week but have chosen to air two episodes back to back every Sunday after seeing the finished product.

Its executive vice president, program planning and scheduling Noriko Kelley explained why:

The Red Line is a serialized drama with compelling characters and provocative themes that we expect viewers will want to watch more than one hour per week, so we wanted to eventize it and try something unique with two-hour blocks over four weeks.

Be sure to stay tuned for its trailer!
