At 16, Marcus Hill is an electrifying, fiercely confident Black hockey player with one goal: making it to the NHL.

Subban’s experience in this world, Junior is a gritty coming-of-age drama where friendships fracture, romances ignite, and every shift could change a life forever. In hockey’s high-stakes machine, talent gets you noticed… but only the strongest survive.

SubbanDamon D’Oliveira and Clement Virgo (Conquering Lion Pictures), Michael Rotenberg and Trevor Rotenberg (Heavy Lifting Productions), and Jocelyn Hamilton and Kerry Appleyard (Lionsgate Canada).

Each episode intertwines the sisters' professional world with their private lives as personal demons, familial conflict, and sibling rivalry are put under pressure by high intensity medical cases, shifting power balances, and buried family secrets.  United, the Blessing sisters are a force to be reckoned with; but at Blessed Sacrament, saving strangers is easier than saving each other.

From creator, showrunner, executive producer and star Robertson with executive producer Chris Cowles

Original Comedies: 

  • The Ambassador (Winter 2027, 10x30, Amaze Film & Television Inc.) 

The Ambassador is a half-hour workplace comedy set at a scrappy Canadian diplomatic embassy in Bulgaria, deep in Eastern Europe. Olivia Winters (Samantha Bee), a former actor turned savvy yet unorthodox diplomat, and her childhood best friend Andrea Taylor (Allana Harkin), a sharp, policy-driven Chargé d’Affaires, are sent to the hinterland of global diplomacy to uncover new business opportunities for Canada in a rapidly shifting world. Tasked with doing more with less, and operating far from the polished centers of power, Olivia and Andrea rely on bold instincts, chaotic brilliance, and uniquely Canadian workarounds to punch far above their weight. Under constant scrutiny from Ottawa, the duo turns diplomatic afterthoughts into surprising wins, even while skating on very thin ice. From showrunner Tim McAuliffe (The Office, Last Man on Earth, Son of a Critch), who serves as executive producer alongside Teza Lawrence and Michael Souther.

 

  • The Posse (2027, 8x30, a Canada-Norway treaty co-production for CBC and NRK - New Metric Media and Rubicon TV)

When a spoiled Norwegian factory heir from the 1800s forces a group of reluctant underlings to the American Wild West to gather material for his novel, their journey quickly turns into something far more dangerous than expected. After accidentally landing themselves in serious trouble, the posse finds themselves on the run from the law. Forced to rely on a charismatic but untrustworthy Canadian guide, they must fight their way across the wilderness toward Vancouver, and what they hope will be a way back home to safety.

  • The Service (2027, 8x30, Sphere Media) 

The Service is a dramedy set in the world of Canadian espionage, where national security collides with office politics, prickly egos, and decidedly unglamorous tradecraft.  

Drew is an idealist with big dreams and low status, convinced that if he puts his head down and works hard, someone other than his mother will recognize his greatness. Mia is a realist with a restless spirit, keen to put some order to the world as she contends with the slow unraveling of her marriage.  Alongside the strivers, wonks, and gearheads who staff the Toronto office of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, Drew and Mia spend their days watching and listening, but neither has quite noticed the obvious truth – they’re falling in love.

Balancing real stakes with dry humour, The Service is a sharp, warm-hearted half-hour series about purpose and connection in a world of half-truths and double lives. From creator, showrunner and executive producer Aubrey Nealon (Cardinal, Snowpiercer). 

 

  • Committed ( Winter 2027, 10x30, Cameron Pictures and Fabel Productions in association with BBC Northern Ireland ) *Previously announced.*

Committed follows Canadian Peter Hooley (Dustin Milligan), a recently divorced accountant, who falls head over heels for Northern Ireland woman Julie Johnston (Diona Doherty) after a whirlwind weekend in Toronto, and crosses the Atlantic to declare his love—only to discover he's landed in an old-fashioned and eccentric rural Northern Ireland village that's nothing like he imagined. It's a romantic comedy about what happens in a relationship after the grand gesture, when real life barges in. At its core, the series explores what it means to step outside your comfort zone—and how people who are very different from you can make life far more interesting than you planned. Committed is produced in association with BBC Northern Ireland by Cameron Pictures Inc. and Fabel Productions Ltd. under the UK/Canada Co-Production Treaty, and global distribution is handled by FOX. The series was co-created by Keith Martin, Gerry Dee and Tim Loane, who is showrunner. 

 

Documentary Series:

  • Doula: A True Crime (Fall 2026, 3x60, Muse Entertainment)

Over the course of nine months in 2022, Kaitlyn Braun—a 24-year-old woman from Brantford, Ontario—reached out to over 40 doulas with the same devastating story: she had been sexually assaulted and was in her third trimester, carrying a stillborn child. The doulas responded with unwavering empathy, stepping in without hesitation, many offering their services pro bono. Some supported her from a distance, through phone calls and video calls. Others showed up in person, providing round-the-clock support, and, in some cases, bearing witness to an excruciating labour.  Except that, over time, the narrative began to fracture. As the doulas began to question themselves and their experiences, they uncovered something far more complex.  It’s a real life saga that is hard to believe – one that launched a desperate search for answers, a campaign to get the attention of the authorities, a TikTok counter-offensive, 53 criminal charges, and a complex mental health diagnosis.

With unparalleled access to all sides of the story, this series elevates a sensationalist media story to an uncommon examination of empathy and the controversial question of its limitations. Written and directed by Nathalie Bibeau, and executive produced by Jonas Prupas, Courtney Dobbins, Michael Kronish, Allyson Luchak, Michael Cameron and Jeremy Shell. Produced by Bibeau and Aren Prupas, with supervising producer Isabelle Couture.

Tucked between the oil fields, mines, and farms of southeastern Saskatchewan, eight prairie towns - Redvers, Carlyle, Oxbow, Carnduff, Wawota, Kipling, Midale, and Moosomin - battle week in and week out for the coveted Big Six title. 

In these barns, chirps fly, word spreads like wildfire, and everyone gets their news… whether they asked for it or not. Barnburners is produced by Omnifilm Entertainment, executive produced by Brian Hamilton, Cathy Schoch, Daniel Wan & developed by Sam Halpern. 

 

  • Burger Month (2027, 4x60, Cream Productions)

Welcome to Nelson, B.C. In this quirky mountain town with more restaurants per capita than San Francisco or Manhattan, an annual high stakes burger competition brings together nearly 50 locally owned restaurants in a battle for culinary supremacy. This is a story populated by intense chefs, eccentric front-of-house staff, driven restaurant owners, exhausted dishwashers, hungry locals and one exotic dancer turned influential food critic whose opinion can make or break a burger’s reputation. It’s just burgers. It’s just a small town contest. And yet…it means everything. Directed by Jeremy Grant and produced by Michael Smith, with story producers Carlo Alcos and Carla Sinclair.

  • Running Smoke (Winter 2027, 3x60, Muse Entertainment in association with Campside Media)

Derek White, a Mohawk from Kahnawà:ke was the first Indigenous driver to compete in NASCAR’s premier Sprint Cup Series. Less than a year later, Derek’s dream disintegrates after he was arrested in the largest cross border police sting of its kind. He was charged with smuggling and defrauding the government and indefinitely suspended from NASCAR.
