TORONTO – Corus-owned Global will serve up two new dramas, four fresh comedies, and one new family-friendly reality show alongside 20 returning series in its fall primetime lineup, the broadcaster said Monday.
The seven new series include FBI, a Dick Wolf-produced drama centring on the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; New Amsterdam, a heartfelt, character-driven medical drama based on New York City’s historic Bellevue Hospital; comedy The Neighborhood starring actor and comedian Cedric the Entertainer (Barber Shop) as an opinionated neighbour who is wary of his new neighbours; Happy Together, a comedy following a 30-something happily married couple who begin to reconnect with their younger, cooler selves when an exuberant young pop star unexpectedly moves in with them; family comedy I Feel Bad starring Sarayu Blue (No Tomorrow) as a mom, boss, friend, wife and daughter who is perfectly okay with being imperfect; Abby’s (midseason), an aspirational new comedy about the best bar in San Diego filmed outdoors in front of a live studio audience; and Dancing with the Stars: Juniors, which will see celebrity kids paired with professional junior ballroom dancers to perform choreographed routines, which will be judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts.
Global also greenlit news seasons of Mary Kills People and Big Brother Canada, plus will have more 9-1-1, Bull, the NCIS Franchise, and S.W.A.T., among others. Click here for the full release.
