Beginning Oct. 9, Inside the NFL will now air Wednesdays at 9/8c on the network, while the Sophie-Turner led drama will move to Fridays at 9 pm as of Oct. 11.

Joan stars the Emmy Award-nominated Game of Thrones alumna as real-life jewel thief Joan Hannington, in an “exhilarating yet emotional story set against the vibrant backdrop of the 1980s,” according to the network’s official synopsis.

Turner’s titular character is a fiery and uncompromising young mother who is deeply scarred and vulnerable, and finds herself trapped in a hellish marriage with a violent criminal named Gary. “When Gary goes on the run, Joan seizes the opportunity to create a new life for herself and her daughter, adopting new identities and making new acquaintances along the way — as a masterful jewel thief,” the logline continues.

Joan debuted Oct. 2 to 290,000 total viewers, dropping 27% of its lead-in from the Sullivan’s Crossing Season 2 premiere. The first episode earned an average TVLine reader grade of “A-,” with 89% of voters saying they’d be back for Episode 2. ( Read premiere recap .)
