The 2020 CBC Fall Upfront was delivered to audiences in a new and innovative format this year. CBC EVP Barb Williams was joined virthally by Sally Catto, Dany Meloul, Donald Lizotte, Mary Kreuk and a number of CBC talent to announce the Fall programming lineup.
This Fall's programming slate will include 1,300 hours of fresh content, spanning 22 new and returning titles, across a number of genres. CBC is excited to usher in five new titles as part of the Fall schedule.
• The highly anticipated docu-series Enslaved, from activist and Hollywood legend Samuel L. Jackson.
• The Sounds is a striking take on the relationship-driven thriller centered around a Canadian couple in Pelorus Sounds, New Zealand.
• Go behind the scenes of Orangeville Prep, a high school program which has produced more Division 1 College and NBA players in the last five years than any other program in the world.
• Trickster is based on the best-selling novel Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson, and has already been renewed for a second season.
Arctic Vets and Lady Dicks have been announced for Winter 2020, as well as the renewal of a number of fan favourites including Kim's Convenience, Coroner, and Murdoch Mysteries.
