The lawsuit seeks to block the competing network from airing the show.

’s former principals openly and repeatedly have referred toas ‘returning’ and ‘coming back’ on REELZ. These public statements were not gaffes or misstatements; they were part and parcel of Defendants’ bad-faith strategy of capitalizing on AETN’s reputation, trading on AETN’s goodwill, and passing off as a work made-for-hire, with A&E owning all copyrights and trademarks to the show.

A&E argues the lynchpin of marketing for the show by Reelz and Big Fish was that they were “bringing back”on a new network. In May, host and executive producer Dan Abrams announced that the show “will be back on Friday and Saturday nights sometime later this summer” on Reelz, a competing network.

I was wondering about that. lol
