LIVING BIBLICALLY stars Jay R. Ferguson as Chip Curry, a modern-day man at a crossroads in his life who decides to live strictly in accordance with the Bible. As he begins his sincere spiritual journey toward a more moral life with the help of his wife and friends, Chip wonders if he’ll be able to take a page – or every page – out of the Good Book, and if the effect will be of Biblical proportions. Lindsey Kraft, Ian Gomez, David Krumholtz, Tony Rock and Camryn Manheim also star.

INSTINCT will premiere Sunday, March 11 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), two weeks after the season finale of BIG BROTHER.

Daniel Ings, Naveen Andrews and Sharon Leal also star.
