Tune in for the premier of new miniseries Hatfields and McCoys and Defiance, plus new seasons of Raising Hope, CSI New York, Body of Proof, and Covert Affairs, to name a few.

Bringing to life the true American story of a legendary family feud, one that spanned decades and nearly launched a war between Kentucky and West Virginia, Hatfield and McCoys is a multi-award winning and gripping miniseries set to premiere on 31 May (11pm KSA) exclusively on OSN First HD. The series stars big names like Kevin Costner, Bill Paxton and Tom Berenger chronicling the clash of clans that inspired passion, vengeance, courage and sacrifice.
