Series returning on Action include Medium, a drama series about Allison DuBois, a strong-willed young mother of three, a devoted wife and law student who begins to suspect that she can talk to dead people, see the future in her dreams, and read people's thoughts.

Rush is an Australian police drama that gives an inside look at a Tactical Response Team based in Melbourne, focused on preventing crime rather than chasing criminals.
