The slate of new scripted programming will include the highly-anticipated “CSI” sequel series “CSI: Vegas”, which will bring back original stars William Petersen, Jorja Fox and Wallace Langham to usher in a new team of forensic investigators.
Also premiering this fall as spin-offs are “NCIS: Hawai’i”, starring Vanessa Lachey, and “FBI: International”, which expands the world of the Dick Wolf franchise.
The slate also features the brand new Global Original series “Family Law”, starring an all-Canadian cast including Jewel Staite, Victor Garber, Zach Smadu, Genelle Williams and Lauren Holly.
Shot and set in Vancouver, the 10-episode, one-hour drama follows a dysfunctional family who reluctantly work together at their father’s law firm to help other equally dysfunctional families.
Global will also premiere the new comedy series “Ghosts”, starring Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar, as a cheerful freelance journalist and up-and-coming chef from the city, respectively, who both throw caution and money to the wind when they decide to convert a huge rundown country estate they inherited into a bed & breakfast – only to find it’s inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents who now call it home. The show is based on the original British series of the same name.
Along with the new shows, Global is bringing back fan favourites, including “9-1-1”, “New Amsterdam”, “Survivor”, “S.W.A.T.”, “SEAL Team”, “The Equalizer”, the “NCIS” and “FBI” franchises and more.
Looking ahead to 2022, Global will air the new drama “Good Sam” about a gifted heart surgeon played by Sophia Bush, who is tasked with supervising her egotistical former boss, played by Jason Isaacs, after he wakes up from a coma and demands his job back.
“Smallwood”, based on professional bowler Tom Smallwood’s life, stars Pete Holmes as Tom, a stoic Midwest husband and dad who gets laid off from a car assembly line and makes the extraordinary decision to provide for his family by following his dream of becoming a professional bowler.
