During its first ever presentation at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour, Epix announced October premiere dates for its first two original scripted series - drama Berlin Station and comedy Graves.
The 10-episode first seasons of both Berlin Station and Graves will premiere on Sunday, October 16 at 9/8c. and 10/9c., respectively.
Berlin Station follows Daniel Miller, a newly anointed case officer who has arrived at the CIA foreign station in Berlin, Germany with a clandestine mission: to uncover the source of a leak who has supplied information to a now-famous whistleblower named "Thomas Shaw." Guided by jaded veteran Hector DeJean, Daniel learns to contend with the rough-and-tumble world of the field agent - agent-running, deception, the dangers and moral compromises. As he dives deeper into the German capital's hall of mirrors and uncovers the threads of a conspiracy that leads back to Washington, Daniel wonders: Can anyone ever be the same after a posting to Berlin?
