Spencer & Locke follows hard-boiled Detective Locke as he investigates a brutal murder with the strangest of partners — his childhood imaginary panther, Spencer. But when they face brutal gunfights, deadly car chases and memories of Locke's traumatic upbringing, can this unlikely pair survive long enough to find the truth?

In The Consultant, Marcus Greenberg has a very particular set of skills. As a former Navy S.E.A.L., he does the dirty work of our nation's superheroes, keeping his clients out of the papers and off of death row.

Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir adds episodes from the popular Zag Entertainment television show starring the greatest superheroes of Paris: Ladybug and Cat Noir!
