CTV Comedy Channel Original Series ROAST BATTLE CANADA Returns for Season 5, Beginning Jan. 12

TORONTO (December 16, 2025) – New year, new scorch marks. The country’s boldest comedians swing hard and spare no one in Season 5 of ROAST BATTLE CANA...

TORONTO (December 16, 2025) – CTV confirmed today initial midseason premiere dates, delivering compelling content and engaging entertainment with hit returning programming and highly anticipated new series – all available on CTV as well as the #1 Canadian streamer, Crave.

Headlining CTV’s midseason 2026 schedule are a batch of new shows, established hits, unscripted competition series, and live events, including:

New Series

January 6 – BEST MEDICINE

 	Starring multiple Emmy Award-nominee Josh Charles (THE HANDMAID’S TALE, THE GOOD WIFE), BEST MEDICINE (Tuesday, Jan. 6 at 7 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and streaming next day on Crave) centers on Dr. Martin Best (Charles), a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. Unfortunately, Martin’s blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, and he quickly alienates the town, even though he's all they've got. The series also stars Abigail Spencer, Annie Potts, Josh Segarra, and Cree.

January 14 – FEAR FACTOR: HOUSE OF FEAR

 	Hosted by Johnny Knoxville, the iconic reality competition FEAR FACTOR is back, and is bigger, bolder and more daring as FEAR FACTOR: HOUSE OF FEAR (Wednesday, Jan. 14 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and streaming next day on Crave). Dropped into an unforgiving, remote location, a group of strangers live together under one roof, and face mind-blowing stunts, harrowing challenges, and a twisted game of social strategy where trust is fleeting — and fear is a weapon. Only one contestant will conquer all their fears and walk away with the massive grand prize!

January 25 – MEMORY OF A KILLER

 	Inspired by the book and 2003 award-winning Belgian film De Zaak Alzheimer, MEMORY OF A KILLER launches with a two-night premiere event following the NFC Championship Game (Sunday, Jan. 25 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and continues Monday, Jan. 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV, and streaming next day on Crave). The series stars Emmy nominee Patrick Dempsey (GREY’S ANATOMY) as Angelo Doyle, a hitman leading a dangerous double life while hiding an even deadlier personal secret. Emmy winner Michael Imperioli (THE WHITE LOTUS, THE SOPRANOS) stars opposite Dempsey in the role of Dutch, Angelo’s oldest friend and an accomplished chef whose restaurant is a front for criminal enterprise. The series also stars Richard Harmon, Odeya Rush, Daniel David Stewart, Peter Gadiot, and Gina Torres.

February 23 – THE FALL AND RISE OF REGGIE DINKINS

 	The Tracy Morgan-led comedy THE FALL AND RISE OF REGGIE DINKINS (Monday, Feb. 23 at10 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and streaming next day on Crave) follows a disgraced former football star (Morgan) who’s on a mission to rehabilitate his image with the help of award-winning filmmaker Arthur Tobin (Daniel Radcliffe) In order to earn back the admiration of his fans and the respect of his family, Reggie will also have to confront the ghosts of his past. The series stars Tracy Morgan, Daniel Radcliffe, Erika Alexander, Bobby Moynihan, Precious Way, and Jalyn Hall.

February 25 – SCRUBS

 	JD and Turk scrub in together for the first time in a long time: Medicine has changed; interns have changed; but their bromance has stood the test of time. Characters new and old navigate the waters of Sacred Heart with laughter, heart and some surprises along the way. The 30-minute revival comedy series SCRUBS (two-episode premiere Wednesday, Feb. 25at 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and streaming next day on Crave) stars Zach Braff as John “J.D.” Dorian, Donald Faison as Christopher Turk, and Sarah Chalke as Elliot Reid. Original cast Judy Reyes and John C. McGinley will guest star as Carla and Dr. Perry Cox, respectively.

CTV heads into midseason as the most-watched conventional network among the key A25-54 demo – landing six of the Top 10 programs – including this fall’s #1 new program in all key demos, 9-1-1: NASHVILLE, and this fall’s most-watched series among total viewers, HIGH POTENTIAL, which both return with all-new episodes.

Additional series coming to CTV, and streaming next day on Crave, as part of midseason include new drama RJ DECKER (working title) starring Scott Speedman, along with new seasons of CTV’s #1 Canadian drama SULLIVAN’S CROSSING, THE MASKED SINGER and THE FLOOR, and new episodes of TRACKER, with premiere dates to be announced.

Additional global partners, including the UK, expected to be announced soon.  

Also confirmed today, HBO Max U.S. and Australia, and NEON (Sky New Zealand), who already exclusively stream Season 1 in those respective markets, have all committed to the streaming rights for a second season.  

“HEATED RIVALRY represents the very best of what Canadian creators can deliver: rich characters, compelling drama, and a world audiences want to live in,” said Justin Stockman, VP Content and Programming, Bell Media. “The response has been extraordinary, and seeing the series now travelling internationally is an incredible milestone.” 

“Watching our show become an international phenomenon has been extraordinary. We’re profoundly grateful to everyone that has been on this journey with us. Being renewed for a second season so early is a true honour, and we can’t wait to bring you even more of what you love,” said show creator Jacob Tierney and executive producer Brendan Brady.  

Created by award-winning Canadian writer-director-producer Jacob Tierney (LETTERKENNY, SHORESY) and based on the best-selling book series Game Changers by Rachel Reid, the six-episode, one-hour romantic drama tells the story of rival hockey players Shane and Ilya. The wildly addictive drama has captured audiences nationwide and is quickly establishing itself as one of the most talked-about series of the year in Canada, and abroad. Since its greenlight announcement at the 2025 Upfronts, HEATED RIVALRY has sparked a surge of social media buzz, with fan edits, reaction threads, and behind-the-scenes clips flooding feeds across platforms, including becoming a Top 3 trending topic on X in Canada during its premiere weekend. Critics have also embraced the series with enthusiasm, contributing to its status as a cultural lighting rod. 

With momentum continuing to rise, Heated Rivalry is poised to become one of Crave’s most culturally impactful originals – at home and internationally. 

In HEATED RIVALRY, Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) are two of the biggest stars in Major League Hockey, bound by ambition, rivalry and a magnetic pull neither of them fully understands. What begins as a secret fling between two fresh-faced rookies evolves into a years-long journey of love, denial, and self-discovery. Over the next eight years, the pair chase glory on the ice while struggling to navigate their feelings off it. Torn between the sport they live for and the love they can’t ignore, Shane and Ilya must decide if there is room in their fiercely competitive world for something as fragile and as powerful as real love. 

Williams and Storrie are joined onscreen by an ensemble cast that includes François Arnaud as Scott Hunter, Robbie G.K. as Kip Grady, Christina Chang and Dylan Walsh as Yuna and David Hollander, Sophie Nélisse as Rose Landry, and Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova as Svetlana. 

Rachel Reid’s Game Changers is a six-book series from Harlequin, and USA Today best-seller that has earned critical recognition from multiple outlets including The Globe and Mail and The Washington Post. The series has also achieved consistent Top 15 rankings in the Gay Romance category on Amazon, supported by a devoted fan following and strong critical acclaim. 

HEATED RIVALRY is produced by Accent Aigu Entertainment in association with Bell Media’s Crave, with the participation of the Canada Media Fund (CMF), and the Bell Fund. Jacob Tierney is writer, director, producer, and executive producer. Brendan Brady is producer and executive producer. Lori Fischburg is producer, and Rachel Reid is consulting producer. For Bell Media, Alison Korogyi is Senior Production Executive, Original Programming; Sarah Fowlie is Head of Production, Original Programming; Adam Feigen is Development Executive, Scripted Original Programming Rachel Goldstein-Couto is Head of Development, Original Programming; Brian Blazik is Head of Bell Media Sales, Sphere Abacus; Carlyn Klebuc is General Manager, Original Programming; and Justin Stockman is Vice President, Content Development &amp; Programming.   

The series is distributed internationally by Sphere Abacus.
