The network plans to pair four returning dramas with three new series this summer, including the hospital drama Hawthorne starring Jada Pinkett Smith, a reality show about weddings, and a police drama from producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

Tyler Perry appeared to promote the renewal of his two TBS shows, Meet the Browns and Tyler Perry’s House of Payne.
