Call Me Fitz returns with back-to-back episodes

From Greg David of TV Guide:

    Fitz is mad as hell, and he’s not going to take it anymore. When we last left the foul-mouthed, womanizing used car salesman, he had lost the car dealership to the Ruptals, but had gained a nightclub. Yup, Fitz (Jason Priestley), Larry (Ernie Grunwald) and Dot (Amy Sloan) were the proud owners of the Summer Wind Lounge. For all of 30 seconds. Read more.

Call Me Fitz, HBO Canada – season premiere
In the new season, after his beloved Summer Wind lounge is forced to close by City Hall, Fitz sees only one option: take over City Hall. With Larry (Ernie Grunwald) and Dot Foxley (Amy Sloan) running his campaign, Fitz is hell bent on forcing himself into office, any way he can. Before he can win the election he has to get by Melody Gray (guest star Gabrielle Miller), the city’s hardnosed on-the-street reporter and in her mind the most important journalist in news. Melody is not only determined to ruin Fitz’s political aspirations but has a long standing feud with Dot. It’s City Hall or bust on this season of Call Me Fitz.
