BUILD Series

Jude Ellis (Steve Zahn) is the sheriff of Port Canaan, a small fishing town on the Oregon coast. Having relocated from Oakland to escape a strained marriage and a dark past as a big city cop, his goal is to build a quiet new life for himself and for, eventually, his young son. But those plans for a quiet life change instantly when 47 refugees from a war-torn country wash up on his beach seeking asylum. But the country they’re from is America … and the war they’re fleeing is 180 years in the future. As the search for answers in this small town gets underway, the lives of the people here – both the townspeople and these newcomers – will never be the same.

"The Terror” from executive producers Ridley Scott, David Kajganich and Soo Hugh, prepares to take viewers on a harrowing journey with a two-hour series premiere. Inspired by a true story, “The Terror” centers on the Royal Navy’s perilous voyage into uncharted territory as the crew attempts to discover the Northwest Passage. Faced with treacherous conditions, limited resources, dwindling hope and fear of the unknown, the crew is pushed to the brink of extinction. Frozen, isolated and stuck at the end of the earth, “The Terror” highlights all that can go wrong when a group of men, desperate to survive, struggle not only with the elements, but with each other. The ten-episode series stars Jared Harris ("The Crown," " Mad Men") as Captain Francis Crozier. Watch David Kajganich, Soo Hugh and Jared Harris discuss the show on BUILD.

Rollicking, clever and a great way to have fun with letters, "If the S in Moose Comes Loose" is a seriously wild ride from start to finish. When two of Moose’s letters come loose, he vanishes. Poof! But his best friend, Cow, has an idea: she’ll find a G, an L, a U, and an E and glue M-O-O-S-E back together, better than ever! But it’s not as easy as it sounds. Author Peter Hermann is not only a debut picture book author, he also plays publisher Charles Brooks on TV Land’s hit show "Younger." Watch Hermann when he stopped by to chat about his children's book.

Directed by Russell Harbaugh, "Love After Love" follows a family drifting apart as they each try to find meaning in a world without the father/husband who held them together. Mother Suzanne (Andie MacDowell) tentatively seeks companionship-but her attempts at dating only drive a wedge between her and older son Nicholas. Meanwhile, younger son Chris deals with grief in his own complicated-and increasingly worrying-way. What plays out between the trio is a beautifully observed, powerfully emotional journey that speaks to the strength of family ties.

"What Really Happened?" chronicles documentarian Andrew Jenks as he examines and contextualizes famous figures and historical events while discovering untold stories and unraveling newfound narratives. With today’s technology, access to information, the ability to communicate from all parts of the globe and cross-reference historians, Jenks takes on his own rogue investigations. He does not go down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, nor does the show purport to solve every historical mystery. Instead, Jenks often times throws a wrench in the gears of history, getting either closer to the truth or creating more questions.

Executive produced by Emmy-winning Bryan Cranston, Greg Mottola, James Degus and Michael Glouberman, "The Dangerous Book for Boys" is a family show inspired by the book of the same name written by Conn and Hal Iggulden.

His death has left the family reeling, but hope appears in the form of a book called "The Dangerous Book for Boys" that Patrick created as a handbook to help his three sons. The book is a how-to guide for childhood that inspires fantasies for his youngest son, Wyatt.
