Stuck season two premieres March 4
STUCK: SEASON TWO
Season two of this exciting series promises even bigger and more shocking transformations as we follow a new group of diverse Canadian women, aged 23 to 52, ready to get “unstuck” in their lives. A mother on the verge of divorce, a trainer achieving everyone’s fitness goals but her own, and a twenty-three year old whose family has referred to her as the ‘fat one’ since she could walk, are just a few members of the engaging group that will set fitness goals in the hopes of reclaiming and improving their physical and emotional well-being.
The barriers to regaining their health have been as varied as the women themselves but they all now share a common goal: to achieve overall wellness through a commitment to a fitness program and a healthy diet – and to have some fun along the way.
In the first episode, the women get surprising – and sometimes devastating – physical assessments from their trainers. Too many nights on the couch with whole pizzas instead of whole grains has finally caught up with them. They meet for a kick-off dinner to discuss the disheartening results and how they can best reach their goals. Produced by 52 Media Inc. in association with W Network, this Canadian original series premieres Wednesday, March 4 at 10 p.m.
Remedy Me! premieres March 8

Margaret tries chiropractic therapy for some gas-busting relief while Deb struggles with the lifestyle changes prescribed by her Chinese medicine doctor and holistic nutritionist. Remedy Me premieres Sunday, March 8 at 10 a.m. This Canadian original series is produced by Creative Atlantic in association with W Network.
Upcoming series: The Line premieres March 16
THE LINE (Canadian Original)
Created and written by playwright/screenwriter George F. Walker and his writing partner Dani Romain, The Line tells the story of Max and Donny, two cops who are as morally ambiguous as the criminals they pursue. Max has lost interest in conventional police work and has developed his own methods for dealing with the criminals he seems hell bent on destroying. Donny has almost been completely torn apart by the job, yet seems dementedly optimistic in the face of his crumbling life. In this dark comedy, actions beget consequences that seep outwards, affecting not only cops and criminals but also the people who surround them: their wives, mothers, children and brothers. Set largely in a suburban wasteland that could border any city, The Line is a multi-layered story woven around a group of fully human characters. The Line is a 15-part series and stars Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), Sharon Lawrence (NYPD Blue), Ed Asner (Mary Tyler Moore) and Wes Williams (Instant Star). The Line premieres Monday, March 16 at 9 p.m. PT on Movie Central and 10 p.m. ET on The Movie Network. Available in HD.
