Ghosts
Samantha and Jay throw caution to the wind when they convert their recently inherited country estate into a bed-and-breakfast. Call it mislaid plans. Not only is the place falling apart, but it's also inhabited by spirits of previous residents -- whom only Samantha can see and hear. Ghosts spins the funny, heartfelt story about a newfound dream that reveals connection and self-discovery aren't just for the living.

Ladies of London
There are cultural differences between England and America in many respects. But that doesn't stop British socialites Annabelle Neilson and Caroline Stanbury from running in similar social circles with Americanexpats Juliet Angus, Caprice Bourret, Marissa Hermer and Noelle Reno, who all enjoy a posh London lifestyle in Ladies of London. The ladies adhere to the city's unwritten rules that one's reputation is everything and respect is not easily earned. Also featured on the docuseries is Julie Montagu, an Illinois native who is married to the heir to the Earl of Sandwich.
