Marti is a smart, resourceful pre-law student at Lancer University in Memphis, whose world is turned upside down when she loses her scholarship and must join the college's competitive squad - the Hellcats. Marti is thrust into a world of camaraderie, backstabbing and big money, as this coming of age dramatic comedy takes a look at the politics and pressure of college life. Inspired by the book Cheer! Inside the Secret World of College Cheerleaders by Kate Torgovnick, HELLCATS features a stellar ensemble cast, including Gail O'Grady (AMERICAN DREAMS) as Marti's mom Wanda, Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical trilogy) as teammate Savannah and Matt Barr (HARPER'S ISLAND) as best bud Dan.

The series gets down to the nitty gritty of what it means for Mike (Billy Gardell, MY NAME IS EARL), an affable police officer, and Molly (Melissa McCarthy, GILMORE GIRLS), a cheerful teacher, to start a relationship amongst all the disruptions and chaos that befall two good-natured people just trying to find happiness.

Division is an ultra-secret government agency whose operatives are recruiting young people with severed ties to family, friends and society. Trained to be invisible assassins, no one ever leaves Division - except the charming and deadly Nikita, an empowered woman fighting for justice and making it her mission to undermine the now-corrupt organization. A force to be reckoned with, the rogue Nikita taunts Division, staying on its radar, but always one step ahead.
