APRIL 7 – HBO Max’s TOKYO VICE *Series Premiere*
- The HBO Max Original crime drama series, TOKYO VICE, from Endeavor Content and Japan’s WOWOW, debuts on Thursday, April 7. Loosely inspired by American journalist Jake Adelstein’s non-fiction first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat, the crime drama series, filmed on location in Tokyo, captures Adelstein’s (played by Golden Globe® nominee Ansel Elgort) daily descent into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo in the late ‘90s, where nothing and no one is truly what or who they seem. The eight-episode series, executive produced and pilot directed by Michael Mann (Heat, Manhunter), drops with three episodes on April 7, followed by two episodes debuting every subsequent Thursday.

APRIL 10 – SHOWTIME’s SUPER PUMPED: THE BATTLE FOR UBER *Season 1 Finale*
- The season finale of SHOWTIME’s SUPER PUMPED: THE BATTLE FOR UBER drops Sunday, April 10. Based on Mike Isaac’s bestselling book of the same name, and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Uma Thurman, and Kyle Chandler, SUPER PUMPED: THE BATTLE FOR UBER is the first installment of SHOWTIME’s new anthology series in which each season explores a story that rocked the business world to its core. In the Season 1 finale, Gurley (Chandler) and his backers present Travis (Gordon-Levitt) with an ultimatum that will change the course of the company forever. Travis searches the city for supporters to rally in his defense and the two men go head-to-head in a final, last-ditch battle for Uber.
APRIL 10 – KILLING EVE *Series Finale*
- The Emmy Award-winning drama series KILLING EVE ends with two back-to-back episodes on CTV Drama Channel and Crave. In Episode 7 titled “Making Dead Things Look Nice,” Eve (Sandra Oh) takes on an even bigger revenge mission against The Twelve, and realizes she may need Villanelle’s (Jodie Comer) help. Villanelle has a dalliance with the new assassin, and Carolyn’s (Fiona Shaw) latest string of intel may lead her home. Then, in the messy, nuanced, and totally glorious series finale titled “Hello, Losers,” Eve and Villanelle focus on making a seismic stab at The Twelve, risking their own lives. Meanwhile, Carolyn arrives home as a traitor with a finite amount of time to use her intel as leverage to get herself back in the game. Both episodes air Sunday, April 10 at 8 p.m. ET on CTV Drama Channel and 9 p.m. ET on Crave.
