From a media release:

SHOWCASE SETS DATE FOR HOTLY ANTICIPATED RETURN OF CONTINUUM

  • Season two world broadcast premiere on Sunday, April 21 at 9pm ET/PT

The wait is finally over. Showcase’s number one series, Continuum, returns this spring as announced earlier today by Rachel Nichols in a video released to fans via @showcasedotca. The critically acclaimed drama nominated for five Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Dramatic Series, stars Nichols (Alex Cross) as Kiera Cameron, a cop from the future who finds herself trapped in present-day Vancouver. Featuring 13 hour-long episodes, the second season of Continuum premieres on Sunday, April 21 at 9 p.m. ET/PT exclusively on Showcase.

Debuting to over 1 million viewers (2+)*, the first season of the critically acclaimed series saw Kiera Cameron (Nichols) searching for convicted terrorists from the future, known as Liber8, with the help of Vancouver detective, Carlos Fonnegra (Victor Webster; Castle). With unexpected assistance from teen tech genius Alec Sadler (Erik Knudsen; Scream 4), Kiera desperately tried to bring down the terrorists before they changed the course of history forever in the explosive finale.

In search for answers, the highly anticipated sophomore season continues Kiera’s uneasy alliance with Detective Carlos Fonnegra, and sees her grapple with the big question that closed the first season – why was she sent there? While Alec struggles to understand the implications of the mysterious message he received from his future self, the Liber8 terrorists become more strategic and even more lethal as they seek to ward off what they see as the seeds of a disastrous future.

Rounding out the cast are Stephen Lobo (Smallville, Little Mosque On The Prairie), Roger Cross (Fringe, Arrow), Lexa Doig (V, Stargate SG-I), Omari Newton (Blue Mountain State, Sophie) and Luvia Petersen (The L Word).

To watch the announcement made by Rachel Nichols, viewers can visit showcase.ca. While there, fans can stream the entire first season, join Continuum’s social networks to receive up-to-the-minute series insight and get behind-the-scenes extras along with other exclusive content.

Continuum is created by Executive Producer Simon Barry (The Art of War) while DGC award winner Patrick Williams (Shattered, DeGrassi:The Next Generation) is Executive Producer and Director. Reunion Pictures partners Tom Rowe, Lisa Richardson and Matthew O’Connnor are Executive Producers

Filmed on location in Vancouver, BC, Continuum is developed and produced by Reunion Pictures.

Primeval: New World cancelled

From Greg David of TV Guide Canada:

Space cancels ‘Primeval: New World’
Primeval: New World and its dinosaurs are extinct: Space has cancelled the Canadian sci-fi series after one season. “Unfortunately, the audience growth throughout the first season was not as strong as hoped, even after a schedule move in January from Monday to Tuesday nights to provide the benefit of a lead-in from established series Face Off,” Scott Henderson, vice-president of communications for Bell Media, said in a release Thursday.

Admin note: Email subscriptions to TV, eh? posts

email-icon

Since this site started, readers have been able to subscribe to posts in a daily email digest powered by Google’s Feedburner. The upside? All TV, eh? posts come to your inbox in one handy package. The downside? There is no control over the delivery time, so a morning email contained all posts from the previous day, kindly letting you know what shows you could have watched the night before.

Now there’s another option that will send you an email as soon as a new post is published. See it over there in the right hand sidebar under “Subscribe to posts by email”? OK, you won’t if you’re reading this post in an email, but visit www.tv-eh.com and enter your email in the box if you’re interested in subscribing.

The upside? All TV, eh? posts come to your inbox as they are posted, meaning you’ll know on Monday morning what shows are new Monday evening. The downside? Each post will come as an individual email, so consider your inbox accordingly. (TV, eh? posts 1 to ~4 times per day on average.) This new solution is powered by Jetpack and they do plan to offer a daily or weekly digest option but it’s not available yet. I’ll let you know when it is.

While the Feedburner daily email will continue for those who prefer it, this new solution is the one I’ll be publicizing from now on. Both options offer an easy unsubscribe option in the body of every email.
