NEW TO CITYTV IN PRIMETIME:Joining the 18
returning proven hits and special events on Citytv’s primetime
schedule this fall are three all-new shows and one new-to-Citytv
series. Anchoring Mondays on Citytv is the all-new high-stakes
drama The Irrational, starring Jesse L. Martin
(Law & Order, Rent), followed by the highly-anticipated spinoff
for Bachelor Nation – new unscripted series, The Golden
Bachelor.
Inspired by Dan Ariely’s novel Predictably Irrational, The
Irrational follows Alec Mercer (played by Jesse L. Martin) – a
world-renowned professor of behavioural science – who lends his
expertise to an array of high-stakes cases with his unique and
unexpected approach to understanding human behaviour.
As the newest iteration of the Bachelor franchise, The Golden
Bachelor follows a new kind of love for the golden years when a
hopeless romantic is given a second chance at love in the search
for a partner with whom to share the sunset years of life.
Trailblazing into Thursdays is the highly-anticipated
missing-persons drama Found, starring Shanola
Hampton (Shameless). Found centers on public relations specialist,
Gabi Mosely (played by Shanola Hampton), who was once herself a
missing person, and her crisis management team which now makes sure
there is always someone looking out for the forgotten ones. But
unbeknownst to anyone, this everyday hero is hiding a chilling
secret of her own.
Animation Domination Sundays return to Citytv with an
outstanding lineup of comedies – The Simpsons,
Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, and
new-to-Citytv series Krapopolis – to have you
laughing right through the Sunday Scaries. Set in mythical ancient
Greece, Krapopolis tells the story of a dysfunctional family of
humans, gods, and monsters that try their hand at running the
world’s first cities – without trying to kill each other, that
is.
EXCLUSIVE TO CITYTV+:Exclusive to Citytv+ on
