This fall also welcomes the premiere of the previously announced Global Original Private Eyes West Coast from Lionsgate Canada and Piller/Segan. Starring Jason Priestley and Cindy Sampson reprising their roles as Matt Shade and Angie Everett, the duo has traded Toronto for the West Coast, embracing a fresh start both personally and professionally. As they settle into life in Victoria and launch a brand-new P.I. firm, Shade and Angie navigate the growing pains of starting over in an unfamiliar city: balancing high-stakes cases, evolving relationships, and the challenge of building a new community from the ground up. Without their trusted Toronto network to lean on, the pair must rely on each other more than ever as they tackle a slate of adrenaline-fueled investigations. From tracking down a missing student deep in the B.C. wilderness to extracting a murder confession from a surfer in Tofino, Shade and Angie quickly discover that life on the West Coast comes with even bigger risks, higher stakes, and plenty of unexpected twists.

Citytv today announced the return of its hit original series Hudson & Rex this fall with an action-packed 12-episode new season. John Reardon returns as Detective Charlie Hudson and is reunited with his trusted canine-partner Rex, alongside returning cast members Mayko Nguyen (Dr. Sarah Truong), Kevin Hanchard (Superintendent Joseph Donovan), Justin Kelly (Tech Analyst Jesse Mills) and Luke Roberts (Detective Mark Hudson).
“I’m excited to step back into the role of Charlie as Hudson and Rex moves into its next chapter,” said John Reardon. “The series has earned a passionate audience around the world, and I’m grateful for the continued support. I’m looking forward to beginning production on the new season with the cast, crew, creative team, production, and network partners – and to sharing more adventures with Rex and the fans.”
Production for the new season is scheduled to begin in June in St. John’s, Newfoundland. When viewers last saw Charlie Hudson, he was heading to South America in search of his missing brother, Jack. Next season will see Charlie shocking everyone with his return to St. John’s with one final task to accomplish before putting the Belize nightmare behind him. Charlie’s return creates a complicated dilemma for loyal Rex and sets off a chain reaction inside the St. John’s Police Department.
“John is a talented actor and we’re incredibly pleased to have him return as Detective Charlie Hudson,” said Christina Jennings, Chairman & CEO, Shaftesbury. “We know that fans missed him and so did we. We look forward to getting back to work and bringing fans an exciting new season.”
“Hudson and Rex has been a staple on the Citytv schedule for nearly a decade and we’re thrilled to bring it back for viewers with John returning as Charlie for another season of action-packed crime-solving drama,” said Kale Stockwell, Head of Original Programming, Rogers Sports & Media.
Produced by Shaftesbury and Pope Productions Ltd., in association with Citytv and Beta Film, the new 12-episode season builds on its passionate and loyal fanbase. Hudson & Rex has been sold to more than 100 territories including the United States, Italy, Germany, and France. Sherry White is the series showrunner and Christina Jennings, Scott Garvie, Lisa Porter, John Reardon, Kevin Hanchard and Sherri Davis serve as executive producers. Beta Film handles the distribution of Hudson & Rex.
“I was on a farm,” Tom Green says during a phone interview. “I thought, ‘We should do a show here.’ And then it just unravelled from there.”
The one thought led to the newest Crave original series, The Tom Green Farm, produced by Tom Green Productions Canada Inc. in association with Crave, premiering on Friday.
The 10-episode first season is set in rural Ontario, on a 150-acre lot that features Green’s farmhouse, built in 1857.
“I think the biggest surprise is the fact that I have these amazing big animals now that are part of our family,” he says.
“My wife and I look after this giant 1,500-pound mule and horses. It’s a whole new experience I never really, frankly, imagined growing up. I would have these big donkeys and horses living with us,” he continues. “They’re so friendly, and they sort of become kind of connected with you, it’s not an inanimate object that’s there. They actually know you, and I know them, and we trust each other, and we spend time with each other.”
“It’s really a kind of moving experience every day when you realize these animals are our friends, and we all love each other.”
Green was born in Pembroke, Ontario, but remembers living in Petawawa—calling himself a “military brat”—and going to school there. He noted his father was a captain in the Canadian Armed Forces, so the family moved around a lot.
The time in Petawawa has led to Green’s induction into the Petawawa Sports and Entertainment Hall of Fame, scheduled for June. This is thanks to a suggestion by singer Jason Blaine made to Mayor Gary Serviss.
“We’ll be going up there and having a fun time in our old stomping grounds for sure,” he says.
The mention of Jason Blaine is because he is also one of the guests who visits The Tom Green Farm in Season 1. The media release mentions guest names such as Amber Marshall, Jay Baruchel, Michael Cera (pictured above), Chantal Kreviazuk, The Tragically Hip’s Paul Langlois, Steven Page, Priyanka, Jessie Reyez and George Stroumboulopoulos.

“We had Tony Hawk [and Kevin Stabb] on the show,” said Green. “We built a skateboard ramp that was sort of an incredible experience for me, being a skateboarder growing up. We had Dan Aykroyd on the show, a legendary entertainer, and it was just sort of an honour to have him come out to the farm.”
Really, all the guests surprised Green because they made the effort to show up in the middle of the wilderness.
“I think it really bleeds into the interviews and the show because people are having fun and excited to be out in nature and exploring the rural countryside,” he says.
Green has gained a few interview experiences through the years. He mentioned being a guest host for David Letterman on The Late Show, a guest host for Larry King and, of course, hosting The Tom Green Show, and he built a studio in his living room for a show called Webovision.
Green is happy with the completion of this current project, now that it’s all put together and ready to be unleashed into the world. A lot of work was put into it, as it’s been a labour of love.
“It’s almost like a cinematic film shoot type thing,” he says. “There are really a lot of technical aspects of it, and now that we have everybody to see life on the farm and all of our amazing guests that came out.”
The Tom Green Farmcast is also launching on iHeartRadio Canada the same day the series premieres, serving as a companion piece.
“If you want to watch the show in its entirety, you should watch it on Crave,” Green says. “But if you’re driving in your car and it comes on iHeartRadio, you can hear a great interview with Dan Aykroyd or one of our guests, and hopefully that’ll make you go get Crave. If you don’t have Crave already, watch the show because it’s a lot of fun.”
The Tom Green Farm debuts Friday on Crave. Following the debut, two episodes will be released every Friday.
SAINT-PIERRE, the CBC original police procedural drama, has been renewed for a third season, with filming in Newfoundland and Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon beginning July. The 12 x 60’ series is produced by Hawco Productions for CBC and CBC Gem, with global film & TV studio FIFTH SEASON handling global distribution. Furthering its global footprint, the series is available on Sky in New Zealand, Disney+ across Eastern Europe and Belgium, ABC in Australia, FreeTV in Israel, BBC Studios in the Netherlands and Poland, on U&Alibi in the United Kingdom, and is set to launch on France Télévisions later this year.
Following a breakout first and second season, SAINT-PIERRE has earned six Canadian Screen Award Nominations (2026) for season one, including Best Drama Series and Best Lead Performer (Allan Hawco), and also secured a Top 5 nomination for the 2026 Cogeco Fund Audience Choice Award.
French star Joséphine Jobert (Death in Paradise) and Canadian star Allan Hawco (Republic of Doyle, Caught, Jack Ryan) lead the cast playing Arch and Fitz, Benz Antoine (Four Brothers, Get Rich or Die Tryin’), Erika Prevost (The Boys, Dare Me) and Jean-Michel Le Gal (Paris Paris, Accused) rounding out the stellar team.
Exiled to work in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon — the French Territory nestled in the North Atlantic Ocean — Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donald Fitzpatrick (Fitz) is partnered with Deputy Chief Geneviève Archambault (Arch), a Parisian transplant there for her own intriguing reason. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic façade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity.
Through solving the thrilling crimes and sharing family secrets, their partnership evolves to friendship — Arch and Fitz know they’ll be there for each other… always.
“We’re incredibly grateful for the continued support from CBC, our incredible partners at FIFTH SEASON, and the worldwide fans who have embraced the show from the very beginning,” say series creators Allan Hawco and Robina Lord-Stafford. “Returning to Newfoundland and Saint-Pierre et Miquelon for Season 3 is especially exciting, as these locations are such an important part of the show’s identity. We’re looking forward to building on the momentum of the first two seasons and bringing audiences even more of the mystery, unexpected twists, and character dynamics that make this world so special.”
Ava Knight, Director, Acquisitions at FIFTH SEASON, said: “Audiences around the world have embraced SAINT-PIERRE for its breathtaking setting, gripping mysteries and the irresistible dynamic between Arch and Fitz. Following the global success of the first two seasons, Season 3 raises the stakes in every sense with bold new investigations, evolving relationships and unexpected twists that expand the world of the series in compelling new ways. We’re thrilled to partner on a new season of SAINT-PIERRE that delivers even more intrigue, escapism and propulsive storytelling.”
SAINT-PIERRE is executive produced by Janine Squires, Erin Sullivan, Robina Lord-Stafford, John Vatcher and Allan Hawco. Lord-Stafford, and Hawco serve as Showrunners. The first two seasons of SAINT-PIERRE are available to stream on CBC Gem.
