A new year. A new season of Cardinal.
CTV announced that Season 3 of Cardinal—starring Billy Campbell and Karine Vanasse—returns Thursday, Jan. 24, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Cardinal: By the Time You Read This picks up following the shocking finale of Blackfly Season when John Cardinal (Campbell) arrived at the scene of a suicide and discovered the body was that of his wife, Catherine (Deborah Hay).
CTV says the latest six-episode instalment begins in autumn in Algonquin Bay. And while the leaves and changing, the fall colours can’t mask a shocking double murder. Cardinal and Lise Delorme (Vanasse) investigate and come dangerously close to a doomsday cult in the process. Returning characters include Det. Jerry Commanda (Glen Gould), Staff Sgt. Noelle Dyson (Kristen Thomson), Dr. Frederick Bell (Stephen Ouimette) and Kelly Cardinal (Alanna Bale). New faces to the story are Sharlene “Mama” Winston (Rya Kihlstedt), Randall Wishart (Aaron Ashmore), Jack (Alex Ozerov), Nikki (Sophia Lauchlin), Lemur (Nick Serino), Lloyd Kreeger (Tom Jackson), Wendy Doucette (Jennifer Podemski), Susan Bell (Susan Coyne) and Sam Doucette (Devery Jacobs).
Patrick Tarr is the head writer and executive producer on Cardinal alongside co-executive producer Noelle Carbone and story editors Shannon Masters and Aaron Bala. Executive producer Daniel Grou a.k.a. Podz directed all six episodes.
As if that isn’t all great news, Cardinal has been renewed for a fourth season with production beginning on six more instalments in Toronto and North Bay, Ont. in January.
eTalk will give viewers an exclusive peek at the making of Cardinal with eTalk Presents: Investigating Cardinal; it will be broadcast every Friday following the Thursday episode. If you missed Seasons 1 and 2 of Cardinal, you can catch up via CTV.ca, the CTV app, Crave and on demand.
Cardinal airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV.

Very excited. Iloved the series — got hooked on Giles Blount’s books, and then found the TV series.
Love this series. The hour is over very quickly which says a lot.
How/where can I watch Cardinal Season 3? We
have Hulu, but can’t find any information about when Season 3 will be on. Any information would be appreciated!!
That was the same question I was wandering about myself. On Hulu, it only shows the first 2 seasons and I am still waiting on the 3rd.
It was a short season… Look forward to Season 4!!
Cardinal is in my top 3 series to watch. Have never missed an episode. great Canadian series.
Anyone know start date of season 4?
Absolutely love this show. Got hooked on the writer Giles Blunt when I read Black Fly Season. Hope this show keeps running. I have been watching it on Wednesday though it is advertised for Thursday. I am sure lots of people missed it. What was the intention here?
