HBO series Vinyl, a bawdy look at the music business at the intersection of disco, rap and punk rock, will premiere Feb. 14 in the Sunday-9 p.m. slot. The premiere will fill two hours.

Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter is Vinyl's showrunner and, along with Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, Rick Yorn, Victoria Pearman, Emma Tillinger Koskoff, John Melfi and Allen Coulter, is also executive producer.

Vinyl has a 10-episode first season. HBO describes it as “a ride through the sex- and drug-addled music business at the dawn of punk, disco and hip-hop … seen through the eyes of a record label president, Richie Finestra, played by Bobby Cannavale.”

A week later, comedy pair Girls and Togetherness debut, starting at 10 p.m. on Feb. 21. Read more at broadcastingcable.com.

Separately, HBO announced it has canceled the Jack Black-Tim Robbins comedy series The Brink.

Nickelodeon and Paramount Television has signed actor/comedian Tony Cavalero to star in Nickelodeon’s new series School Of Rock, said network officials.

Cavalero, who has guest starred in such series as Modern Family and 2 Broke Girls, will take on the lead role of Dewey Finn, portrayed by Jack Black in the 2003 movie of the same name.

School of Rock, which is set to air on Nickelodeon early 2015, will follow a group of prep schoolers who are taught by Finn the joy of rock ‘n’ roll.

Nickelodeon will team with Paramount Television to produce a new live-action, musical-comedy series School of Rock, the network said Monday.

The 13-episode series, which is based on the 2003 hit film from Paramount Pictures of the same name (pictured), will premiere in the spring of 2015. School of Rock will follow the adventures and misadventures of Dewey Finn, a down-on-his-luck rocker who poses as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school as he teaches his eccentric, unconventional and overachieving students to play and love rock ‘n’ roll. 

“School of Rock is one of those great movies that always felt quintessentially Nickelodeon in its tone and humor, and we jumped at the opportunity to partner with Paramount Television and bring it to life as a TV series,” said Russell Hicks, President, Content and Development, Nickelodeon in a statement. “Once again, kids will be able to laugh and rock!”

School of Rock will be written by Jim and Steve Armogida (Crash & Bernstein, My Family), who will also serve as executive producers and show runners. The movie’s director Richard Linklater and producer Scott Rudin will executive produce the television series, said Nickelodeon.
