AXN is launching three new shows to make your weekends more thrilling 'Fresh from the US'. Starting July 2 and 3, the channel will telecast BrainDead on Saturdays at 10 pm and American Gothic and Ray Donovan on Sundays at 10 pm and 11 pm, respectively.

'BrainDead' is an upcoming comic-thriller set in the world of Washington DC politics. It comes from the critically acclaimed creators Robert and Michelle King. The show follows the life of Laurel, the daughter of a Democratic political dynasty who left Washington DC to become a documentary filmmaker but is pulled back into the family business when her brother needs her help to run his senate office. The plot revolves around Laurel's discovery of two things: the government has stopped working, and alien bugs are eating the brains of Congress members and Hill staffers. As this continues, Laurel and her allies must work quickly to identify the other worldly creatures, stop their infiltration and ultimately save the world.

'American Gothic' is a co-production of CBS Television Studios and Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television centres around a prominent Boston family, attempting to redefine itself in the wake of a chilling discovery that links their recently deceased patriarch to a string of murders spanning decades. The show witnesses a murder mystery and family drama, with probable suspects among each other threatening to tear the family apart. The series stars Justin Chatwin, Megan Ketch and Antony Starr.

The channel will also premiere the fourth season of Ray Donovan. Ray Donovan, a professional fixer, is called in to make the city's celebrities, superstar athletes, and business moguls' most complicated and combustible situations go away. The series is kicked off with Ray's father, Mickey Donovan, being unexpectedly released from prison that sets off a chain of events that shakes the Donovan family to its core. Also in the wake of his confession to Father Romero, Ray is on his path to redemption, making an attempt to return to the fold of his family and the church. The show stars Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee Liev Schreiber.
