image002The final three episodes of the second season of CTV’s hit original series THE LISTENER air in a prime Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET timeslot beginning August 17 on CTV (visit CTV.ca to confirm local broadcast times). Averaging 1.08 million viewers season-to-date, THE LISTENER has seen an incredible growth of 17% among total viewers in Season 2. A third season of the series was recently ordered by CTV from Shaftesbury.

Taking over the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE timeslot on CTV, THE LISTENER stars Craig Olejnik (The Timekeeper), Ennis Esmer (Young People F**king), Lauren Lee Smith (CSI), and Tara Spencer-Nairn (CORNER GAS). This supernatural crime-fighting drama’s three new episodes feature guest stars Cynthia Dale (STREET LEGAL, MADE IN CANADA) and Kris Holden-Ried (THE TUDORS, LOST GIRL).

Season 2 of THE LISTENER is currently airing Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on SPACE.

Additionally, before it returns to CTV, viewers can catch-up with the second season of THE LISTENER on the CTV Video Player at CTV.ca.

Oz (Ennis Esmer) does Sandy (Tara Spencer-Nairn) a favour by looking after her niece’s pet ferret, but then makes the mistake of shifting that responsibility to Toby.

THE LISTENER also stars Rainbow Sun Francks (STARGATE ATLANTIS) as Corp. Dev Clark, Peter Stebbings (MADISON) as Alvin Klein, the IIB’s in-house legal expert, Mylène Dinh-Robic (STARGATE ATLANTIS) as Dr. Olivia Fawcett and Arnold Pinnock (THIS IS WONDERLAND) as EMS supervisor George Ryder.

  1. You know the network loves the show when they pull it off the air and then air the final three episodes of the season months later in the dog days of summer. And yes, that is sarcasm.

  2. I would normally agree, but it seems Global cares about Rookie Blue and Combat Hospital which gives me hope. Then again, they are stronger shows with US broadcaster support (at least for now).
