From Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning producers Howard Gordon (Homeland, 24) and Gideon Raff (Homeland) and Emmy-nominated writer/producer Craig Wright (Six Feet Under, Lost), Tyrant tells the story of an unassuming American family drawn into the workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation. Barry Al-Fayeed (Adam Rayner) is a California pediatrician with a checkered past – he is the son of a Middle Eastern dictator who fled his home as a teenager to have a better life. Twenty years later, Barry reluctantly agrees to return to the Middle East with his American family for his nephew’s wedding. Just when he is ready to return to America, unforeseen circumstances thrust him into the complex and turbulent world of a nation straining to break free.

The series also stars Canadian actress Jennifer Finnegan (Student Bodies, The Bold and the Beautiful) and Justin Kirk (Weeds).

Big Brother 16 (Wednesday, June 25 at 8 p.m. on Global and CBS)

This season’s first big twist will involve two houseguests winning Head of Household each week, meaning there will be four players up for eviction. The two HOH’s won’t be safe from the block unless one has one “Battle of the Block.” Viewers will also influence the game with a new twist called “Team America.” Well, this is for the first few weeks anyway, I’m pretty sure the game will eventually go back to normal. It always does — just like when the coaches became players a couple of seasons back.

Big Brother will continues to air Thursdays at 9 p.m. and Sundays at 8 p.m. Now in HD!
