GEMINI-AWARD WINNING SERIES THE BORDER MOVES TO THURSDAYS AT 9 PM

  • Celebrated Canadian actors guest star in season three Tonya Lee Williams, Arsinée Khanjian, Kristin Booth, Patrick McKenna and more…

In its most explosive season yet, CBC’s Gemini award-winning hit show, THE BORDER, delivers more action and gripping storylines than ever, picking up from last season’s cliffhanger finale — a firefight with a vicious gang. Premiering on CBC Television on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 9 p.m., season three opens with Major Mike Kessler (James McGowan) critically wounded and wracked with guilt. Deemed a rogue cop, Gray Jackson (Graham Abbey) is suspended, while Liz Carver (Grace Park) fights for her life in a Washington hospital. Language specialist Khalida Massi (Athena Karkanis) joins the Squad, impressing colleagues with her motorcycle and her martial arts training, and Slade (Jonas Chernick) is completely smitten.

The Tudors makes tardy return to Canada

2 Comments

From Myles McNutt of Cultural Learnings:

  • The King Waits for the Fall Season: The Tudors Season 3 makes CBC Debut
    “CBC is starting its airing of the third season of their (and Showtime’s) The Tudors (starting tonight at 9pm) six months after its April debut in the States. It’s an awkward position for the network to be in, as hardcore fans of the series have likely done their best to seek out the episodes already, and even if they aren’t the type to take part in such illegal activities there are reviews and episode summaries available for one and all. Plus, the Season 3 DVDs (distributed by separate companies in the U.S. and Canada) will actually release in this country a week ahead of the finale’s airing on CBC, which makes the show seem that much more ‘late’ in internet terms.” Read more.

  • Interview: Erin Karpluk
    “I had the opportunity to visit the Being Erica set. I also got the chance to chat with Erin and she literally couldn’t be nicer and more gracious. I was interested to see how Erin was dealing with the rocketing popularity of the show, what it was like to be Canadian actress and most importantly what was in store for the one and only, Erica Strange.” Read more.

Being Erica

Review: Being Erica – “Battle Royale”

Erica09_2From Myles McNutt of Cultural Learnings:

  • Being Erica – “Battle Royale”
    “Two episodes into its second season, you can see Being Erica retreating back to the formula that proved winning in the first season. While it wants to play around with some questions of time travel, expanding the show’s universe to include other therapists and other patients, it also wants to be the show that delights in making Erin Karpluk play a teenager and perform early 90s dance routines.”  Read more.
