Premiere dates were given as well for the Michelle Dockery-led Good Behavior (Nov. 15) and season three of drama The Librarians (Nov. 20).
"We're creating premium shows that are also unapologetically entertaining, whether it's through the tenuous and unexpected relationship in Good Behavior, the hard-hitting action of The Last Ship, or Monsters of God, our version of a western chock-full of violence, sex and insane characters," said Sarah Aubrey, executive VP of original programming for TNT.
