TORONTO – Headlined by three new Canadian titles, Rogers-owned City announced its fall and winter programming slate Tuesday, which also includes five new comedies and four new dramas.
New Canadian content includes the six-part series Bad Blood (pictured), a true crime story inspired by reputed Montreal mobster Vito Rizzuto; comedy series Fubar: The Age of the Computer, based on the beloved film franchise; and Louis XIV historical drama series Versailles.
Joining the fall lineup are sci-fi adventure comedy The Orville; Ghosted, which sees a skeptic and a paranormal believer team up to save the human race from aliens; Will Ferrell-produced commuter comedy LA to Vegas; and Speechless, which debuts mid-season.
In addition to Bad Blood and Versailles, other dramas new to City include hospital drama The Resident and The Blacklist, starring James Spader as one of the F.B.I.'s ‘10 Most Wanted’.
City will also offer two live musical events – A Christmas Story, based on the beloved and iconic movie about Ralphie, whose only wish is for a Red Ryder BB gun under the tree, and Rent, a story of friendship, love, and hope among seven struggling artists in New York's gritty East Village. Popular reality franchise Dancing with the Stars moves to City for the 2017/18 season, bringing a new cast of celebrity ballroom dancers together in competition.
City also confirmed the renewal of 16 prime-time series, including The Bachelor franchise, Black-ish, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Family Guy, Hell's Kitchen, Hockey Night in Canada, Last Man on Earth, Lethal Weapon, Life in Pieces, The Mick, The Middle, Modern Family, Mom, New Girl, Nirvanna The Band The Show, and Scorpion.
