The new series starring Callie Thorne kicks off when Dr. Dani Santino finds out her husband is cheating, and then finds herself the new team therapist for the local football franchise. Thanks to her success on the field, the doc soon finds high-profile athletes, entertainers and newsmakers clamoring for sessions.
Burn Noticereturns Thursday, June 23, leading into the premiere of Suits at 10. The new series follows the adventures of two not-so-cookie-cutter lawyers, closer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) and brainiac newbie Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams).
