Another Canadian Show Goes South
With no end in sight to the Hollywood writers’ strike, American TV networks have been looking to Canada for new content – and this time, it’s CTV’s “The Listener” that will be reaching south.
NBC has bought 13 episodes of the Canadian-made drama, which follows a young paramedic who has the power to hear people’s thoughts.
The show is being produced by Toronto’s Shaftesbury Films, and is also set in the city.
It is currently in pre-production and will begin shooting this spring.
Just this week, CBS announced it had bought 13 episodes of the CTV cop drama “Flashpoint.”
Other Canadians shows reportedly drawing interest from U.S. broadcasters are the CBC drama “The Border,” Global’s new series “The Guard” and CBC’s comedy series “Sophie.”
