While CBC carries more Canadian TV shows than the 3 Canadian private networks combined, we also cover what CTV, Global, and Citytv have for the upcoming 2025-2026 TV schedule.
CTV/Bell Media
Sullivan's Crossing is in Season 3 currently on CTV and also The CW. The show will be back for Season 4. CTV ran Season 2 of Sight Unseen over the winter. The show is apparently over after 2 seasons (no one ever says cancelled). The CW is a co-producer of the latter show and we haven't heard of when (if?) that network would run Season 2. Maybe through the Web site, like with Season 2 of Moonshine.
CTV dumped Mark McKinney Needs a Hobby after 1 season, though the Kids in the Hall alum has a new movie on Crave: Hoser: The Movie.
The network lost Children Ruin Everything and Sight Unseen (maybe) without new shows on the broadcast network. Well, there is Slo Pitch, an already established Web series that is coming to CTV and Crave with 10 episodes. Elliot Page is a key producer of the project. The Bell Media description: "A queer underdog slo pitch team chases their dreams of making it to the beer league championships. Beer. Baseball. Lesbians. Something for everyone."
We are surprised that we haven't seen more Web series being bumped up to CBC or the private networks.

CTV has a new season of The Traitors Canada (Season 3). CTV Comedy greenlit Season 4 for Acting Good, which I found somewhere in the States. The Good Stuff with Mary Berg (daytime on CTV) is back for Season 3 though we miss Mary Makes It Easy on CTV Life Channel in Canada and the Food Network in the United States.
CTV is running more CFL games with Saturday night games through most of the summer and then switching to Saturday afternoon games. We would like to think this is honourable but more like cheap programming, already produced in house by TSN.
SurrealEstate (CTV Sci-Fi Channel in Canada and SyFy in the United States) has barely ended Season 3. I loved Season 1 but the show has not been that good of late. We don't figure to know any status for Season 4 for some time.
Children Ruin Everything is done on CTV after 4 seasons while The CW finishes its run in the United States later this month. Transplant is long done after 4 seasons on CTV though NBC finally is showing Season 4 in the United States.

On the Crave side of things, Shoresy is renewed for Season 5. Late Bloomer and The Trades will have a Season 3. Super Team Canada and The Office Movers are back for Season 2.
Somehow, there is a Season 2 of The Rebuild: Inside the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs barely made the playoffs and won 1 playoff game in 2025. So maybe they are still rebuilding?
There are so many new Crave shows that we are posting a link, since some of these shows are way down the line. There is an untitled Jared Keeso show coming but we know nothing about the show. Tom Green has a new show coming to Crave.
Bell Media and the USA Network are working on Anna Pigeon, "a former city slicker who became a park ranger" who solves "crimes that have taken place within national park grounds." This is primarily worth noting since the showrunner is Canadian Morwyn Brebner, who created and produced Rookie Blue and Saving Hope. and developed and produced Coroner.
Though the newly renamed USA Network in Canada isn't connected to the U.S. version of USA Network (NBCUniversal).
There is no mention of Don't Even (Crave and APTN), an urban Indigenous coming-of-age story in the late 1990s in Winnipeg. You can watch the show on Crave and APTN in Canada and Tubi in the United States. We don't know if APTN will produce more seasons.
Global/Corus

Just when we wonder if Global wasn't going to get ambitious about producing new Canadian television, we find out about a return to Private Eyes as in Private Eyes West Coast. Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson will reunite for a spinoff series. The original series ran 5 seasons from 2016-2021 on Global with the first 2 seasons on Ion in the United States.
Spinoff series are rather rare in Canada, officially or unofficially. The idea that Strays was a spinoff but not Run the Burbs was more about licensing of characters. Shannon (Nicole Power) was not part of the original Ins Choi play Kim's Convenience.
The show will move from Toronto to Victoria, British Columbia. Priestley is a semi regular on Wild Cards (CBC/The CW) that films in Vancouver. Shawn Piller and Lloyd Segan – who worked on Private Eyes and Wild Cards – are producing the new show.
We know the new show will cast new supplemental characters. Would be fun to see them cast people from the old show as new characters or even as cameos: thinking about Ennis Esmer, Samantha Wan, Jordyn Negri, and Clé Bennett. Esmer did more comedy on Children Ruin Everything and Wan took on a nice role on Run the Burbs. Bennett and Negri haven't done as much of late.
The show will likely run this winter on Global in Canada.
If you just think of Priestley as "that guy" from that Fox show 30 some years ago, Priestley has taken risks in such Canadian TV shows as Call Me Fitz, Private Eyes, and Wild Cards. he also directed a feature film — Cas & Dylan (2013) — with Tatiana Maslany and Richard Dreyfuss.

Murder in a Small Town is back for Season 2 on Global and Fox. We think Fox is doing the heavy lifting yet the show is rather Canadian. Gibsons, BC and Molly's Reach are iconic north of the border thanks to The Beachcombers, a Canadian TV series that ran on the CBC from 1972-1990.
Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk have decent chemistry though we wish they would either be friends or flat out significant others. The hesitation and anxiety is the weakest part of the show. They are not building tension, aka Sam and Diane.
Season 2 gets 10 episodes, up from 8 in Season 1. The show gets a token American in Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden as the town's new mayor.
Doc, starring Canadian actor Molly Parker, is not a Canadian show, though there is a bit of Canada in the show. A rare show where the fun is the guest stars plucked from Canadian CVs. Both series will run this fall on Global and Fox. The latter series has a full run of 22 episodes.
Global has shifted those shows on its schedule. Both shows air on Fox back-to-back on Tuesday nights with Doc at 9 pm Eastern. Doc airs at 10 pm on Wednesdays on Global and Murder in a Small Town runs on Sunday nights at 8 pm Eastern.
Global runs 60 Minutes from the start at 7 pm Eastern since Global, unlike CBS, doesn't have the NFL. Global is definitely not simsubbing those shows so Canadians with cable or satellite can just watch them on Fox on Tuesdays.
Global finally showed Season 3 of Family Law this winter. Season 4 runs this summer on The CW and is scheduled for the winter of 2026 on Global. We liked Season 3 more than Season 2.
If we see a Canadian original scripted series on Global, the show is almost always a drama. I don't know if The Jane Show was the last one to qualify. Canadians are known for comedy but the only outlets that are consistent about comedy (on this level) are CBC and Bell Media.
We don't count Crime Beat for a boatload of reasons but Americans can watch on Hulu. Canadians can catch up on Global programming on Stack TV.
Citytv/Rogers

Hudson & Rex (fall) and Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent (winter) appear to be the entirety of scripted shows. Hudson & Rex runs at 8 pm Mondays with weekend repeats at 10 pm. Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent is coming off the glory of winning Best Drama Series at the 2025 Canadian Screen Awards.
Hudson & Rex gets a new human actor in Luke Roberts, who will play Detective Mark. Roberts starred in Seagrass, one of my favourite Canadian films in recent years.
This will be Season 8 for Hudson & Rex and Season 3 for Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent. The CW will start with Season 1 of the latter show this fall in the United States.
Rogers is promoting its association with the Toronto International Film Festival with a live 1-hour red carpet special on Citytv. We would be curious, as measured in seconds, about whether they will mention Canadian films.
The other drama starting in October is Hockey Night in Canada. We know Rogers signed a fresh new contract that starts in the fall of 2026. Even if CBC goes along and runs the NHL without compensation and ad revenue, Rogers still needs Citytv as an outlet in the fall and winter.
Most Saturdays, Citytv simulcasts a game from a Rogers Sportsnet cable feed at 7 pm Eastern. Occasionally, that game is a simulcast of CBC. The Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver affiliates usually carry a second game at 7 pm Pacific.
Those in the States can catch Hudson & Rex episodes on UPtv, a "wholesome" family type channel you might have on U.S. cable.
We don't count Canada's Got Talent, but the show is going on "hiatus." Family Feud Canada (CBC) likely won't be jealous, but a Canadian version of The Price is Right is coming to Citytv. The working title is The Price is Right Tonight with Canadian Howie Mandel to air next spring. Here is the odd part: 12 1-hour episodes. A weekly game show isn't as enthralling.
Citytv does mostly dramas in Canadian scripted programming but has a slightly better track record for comedy than Global. Seed was sort of based on the Quebecois film Starbuck while CBC and Citytv shared Young Drunk Punk. Comedies also fill holes easier on a TV schedule since they are 30 minutes.
The TV-eh.com Web site is a great resource on Canadian TV. We like promoting them because they are such a valuable resource on this topic. There is no relationship of any kind; we are just generous.
