To tweet this release: https://thelede.ca/rgqXq2 TORONTO (December 15, 2021) – CTV kicks-off 2022 with a robust primetime schedule featuring six new, buzzed-about series, and a strong roster of returning hits. Providing can’t-miss programming every night of the week across CTV, CTV.ca, and the CTV app, the first block of CTV’s midseason premieres includes the emotionally driven crime drama THE CLEANING LADY (Jan. 3) starring Elodie Yung (The Hitman’s Bodyguard) and Adan Canto (DESIGNATED SURVIVOR), as well as comedy PIVOTING (Jan. 9). The series follows three women – played by Eliza Coupe (Happy Endings), Ginnifer Goodwin (Once Upon a Time), and Maggie Q (Designated Survivor) – as they cope with the death of their friend. CTV also announced today three unscripted series joining the midseason schedule: Gordon Ramsay’s new cooking competition series NEXT LEVEL CHEF (Jan. 2), featuring a stage over three stories high, with each floor containing a different kitchen. Court is in session this January with Steve Harvey, who serves as judge, jury, and star of JUDGE STEVE HARVEY (Jan. 4), a new one-hour courtroom comedy where real-life people with real-life conflicts present cases to Harvey. Based on the original dating series JOE MILLIONAIRE, JOE MILLIONAIRE: FOR RICHER OR POORER (Jan. 6) premieres with a special two-hour event, and features two single men – one who is a millionaire, and the other who is not. As connections are made, the women must ask themselves what is more important, love or money? Further strengthening CTV’s midseason schedule is last season’s most-watched sophomore series in Canada, 9-1-1: LONE STAR (Jan. 3), which returns with a multi-episode storyline that follows a massive and unexpected arctic front that hits Austin with an ice storm; the highly anticipated return of THE AMAZING RACE (Jan. 5) as 11 new teams go on a journey of a lifetime; and the #1 new comedy CALL ME KAT (Jan. 9), starring Mayim Bialik. Plus, the Pearsons’ emotional story of love, life, and family unfolds with unexpected revelations during the sixth and final season of THIS IS US (Jan. 4). As recently announced, CTV Original drama TRANSPLANT (Jan. 3), the most-watched Canadian drama of 2019-20, returns for its sophomore season, and new CTV Original comedy CHILDREN RUIN EVERYTHING (Jan. 12) from Emmy^® and Golden Globe^® Award-winner Kurt Smeaton (SCHITT’S CREEK, KIM’S CONVENIENCE) makes its series debut. Plus, CTV has acquired the one-hour syndicated daytime series THE GOOD DISH (Jan. 17), hosted by Daphne Oz, Gail Simmons, and Jamika Pessoa. The daytime series replaces long-running THE DR. OZ SHOW, which comes to an end Jan. 14. THE GOOD DISH, which initially grew out of popular weekly segments on THE DR. OZ SHOW, features simple shortcuts, everyday recipes, and food trends to make life easier, bring families together, save money, and most importantly…figure out what’s for dinner.
