Corus Entertainment’s Global TV announced Monday its 2025/26 primetime lineup, which includes four new series this fall and three more set to join Global’s schedule mid-season.
The network’s new offerings this fall include the single-camera workplace comedy DMV, set at the U.S. Department of Motor Vehicles and starring Harriet Dyer, Tim Meadows, Tony Cavalero, Molly Kearney, Gigi Zumbado and Alex Tarrant. The series is produced by CBS Studios and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution. DMV is currently scheduled to air Mondays at 8:30 p.m. ET on Global.
Also joining Global’s Monday schedule, at 10 p.m. ET., is CIA, an expansion of the FBI franchise from Emmy Award-winning executive producer Dick Wolf. CIA stars Tom Ellis as a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer assigned to work with a by-the-book, seasoned FBI agent who believes in the rule of law. CIA is from Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Wolf Entertainment and CBS Studios, and is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
An expansion of the Fire Country universe, Sheriff Country is a new series starring Morena Baccarin as straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox, the stepsister of Cal Fire’s division chief Sharon Leone (Diane Farr of Fire Country). Scheduled to air on Global on Fridays at 8 p.m. ET, Sheriff Country is another CBS Studios-produced series distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
The fourth new series debuting on Global this fall is The Road, a singing competition series from executive producers Taylor Sheridan, Blake Shelton and Keith Urban. It follows a touring Urban on his journey to discover the next big artist with the help of Grammy Award-winning country artist Gretchen Wilson, who acts as the “tour manager”. Produced by MTV Entertainment and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution, The Road is set to air Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on Global.
Shows returning to Global this fall include Ghosts, Survivor, 9-1-1, FBI, NCIS, NCIS: Origins, Matlock, Elsbeth, Murder in a Small Town, Crime Beat and Saturday Night Live.
The three new programs that will be added to Global’s primetime lineup mid-season include: America’s Culinary Cup, a new cooking competition series hosted and executive produced by Emmy Award-nominated food expert Padma Lakshmi; Y: Marshals (working title), a new drama joining Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone family of shows and starring Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, who joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals and combines his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana; and Harlan Coben’s Final Twist, an unscripted series featuring best-selling author Coben as he steps into the true-crime television genre for the first time.
Series returning to Global’s schedule mid-season include Family Law, Watson and Hollywood Squares.
“This spring, Global was the only conventional network to experience year-over-year audience growth seeing a 7% increase in core primetime viewing, delivering 12 of the top 20 programs — more than any other network,” Jennifer Abrams, senior vice president of programming and multiplatform at Corus Entertainment, said in a press release, citing Numeris PPM data.
“With Global’s new acquisitions for the upcoming broadcast season featuring the most-coveted series coming out of this year’s L.A. screenings, paired with some of the most-watched returning series, Global is well-positioned to be the leader in bringing Canadian viewers what they want to see on their screens, entertaining audiences all year long.”
