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.

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.
