After being shelved for many months, NBC's 'Friends With Benefits' finally has a premiere date.
The rom-com series starring Danneel Ackles, Ryan Hansen and more (not to be confused with the Justin Timberlake/Mila Kunis movie opening later this month, which is not to be confused with the Ashton Kutcher/Natalie Portman movie from earlier this year) will debut on the network June 25.
According to Deadline, NBC will air back-to-back episodes on Saturday nights from 8-9PM. Ouch.
