The second original to premiere is "Central Park", an animated musical series from some of the minds and talent behind Bob's Burgers and Frozen. The series, which focuses on a group of caretakers who save New York's beloved park, is backed by a powerhouse of voices like Kristen Bell, Stanley Tucci, and Tituss Burgess.

"From Emmy Award winner Loren Bouchard ("Bob's Burgers"), executive producer Nora Smith ("Bob's Burgers") and Josh Gad ("Frozen"), "Central Park" is an animated musical series that tells the story of how a family of caretakers, who live and work in Central Park, end up saving the park, and basically the world.

The last premiere is "Home", a docuseries from the creators behind "Chef's Table" and "The Defiant Ones". The show will focus on the most innovative homes in the world and the people who built them.

"From the creative minds behind "Chef's Table" and "The Defiant Ones," "Home" is an inventive, new docuseries that offers viewers a never-before-seen look inside the world's most innovative homes, and unveils the boundary-pushing imagination of the visionaries who dared to dream and build them. "Home" is executive produced by Joe Poulin, Matt Weaver, Bruce Gersh, Ian Orefice, Doug Pray, Collin Orcutt, Matt Tyrnauer, Corey Reeser and Kim Rozenfeld.
