From the Futon Critic – probably a good guess that CTV will follow suit:
SANCTUARY – SEASON FINALE
Premieres Friday, January 9 at 9 p.m. on The Movie Network (7:30 p.m. PT on Movie Central)
In the season finale, “The Fiveâ€, led by Dr. Magnus, attempt to find the secret labyrinth in the decimated city of Bhalasaam. Once located, they must complete a series of cryptic tests that can only be achieved using the powers of The Five. Ashley and Henry are held prisoner at the Cabal’s weapons facility. Starring Amanda Tapping, Emilie Ullerup and Ryan Robbins.
ZOS: ZONE OF SEPARATION (NEW CANADIAN ORIGINAL SERIES)
Premieres Monday, January 19 at 10 p.m. on The Movie Network (9 p.m. PT on Movie Central)
Co-executive produced by Paul Gross, ZOS: Zone of Separation is a new, eight-part Canadian original drama series about the life and death struggle to enforce a U.N.-brokered ceasefire in the fictional, Sarajevo-like town of Jadac. Unarmed military observers try to defuse crises and maintain the fragile ceasefire between the Christians and Muslims. They move between the rival factions, always in danger, always distrusted – even by the armed U.N. soldiers that have arrived in town to maintain order by any means necessary. The series captures the absurdist reality of living in a violent zone of separation, as well as the real costs to the peacekeepers dropped in to police it. Starring Colm Meaney, Lolita Davidovich, Michelle Nolden, Rick Roberts, Enrico Colantoni and Allan Hawco.
