#FIRSTLOOK: CBC ANNOUNCE 2026-2027 PROGRAMMING SLATE

CBC today announced its 2026-27 programming slate featuring over 50 original series from Canadian storytellers. From hockey and hospitals to the Wild West and the world of international diplomacy and espionage, CBC’s new original Canadian greenlights include the following shows:

• The stories behind Canada’s national pastime come to life in coming-of-age drama series Junior, inspired by P.K. Subban’s experience in the high-pressure world of junior hockey; plus docuseries Power Play, offering exclusive access to the stars of the PWHL and Barnburners, following a fierce and funny senior hockey league in Saskatchewan.
• Cold Country stars Sarah Podemski, Chaske Spencer and Michael Greyeyes in a prestige limited series from creators Shane Belcourt and Tasha Hubbard. 
• Samantha Bee stars as Canada’s unorthodox ambassador to Bulgaria in new original comedy The Ambassador from the creative talent behind such shows as Son of a Critch and Call Me Fitz. 
• Created by and starring Kathleen Robertson, medical drama Blessed Sacrament follows three sisters as they work to save lives at the hospital that is their family’s legacy.
• From the executive producer of Cardinal and Snowpiercer, dramedy The Service is set in the world of Canadian espionage, where national security collides with office politics, prickly egos and decidedly unglamorous tradecraft.  
• From the creators of Norsemen and producers of Lilyhammer and Letterkenny, Canada/Norway absurdist comedy The Posse follows a clueless and privileged Norwegian in the 1800s who embarks on an unexpected journey to the Wild West. 
• The astonishing journey of Olympian and alleged drug kingpin Ryan Wedding is chronicled in new docuseries Snow King: From Olympian To Narco and investigative podcast The Most Wanted Olympian.
• New kids series include a reimagined Clifford the Big Red Dog, animated show Butterfly Academy and live-action comedy On Track with Andre De Grasse, as the Olympic track champion travels back in time to give advice to his 10-year-old self.

Returning entertainment and documentary series include Allegiance, The Assembly, Dragons’ Den, Family Feud Canada, The Great Canadian Baking Show, Must Love Dogs, The Nature of Things, North of North, The Passionate Eye, Saint-Pierre, Still Standing, This Hour Has 22 Minutes and Wild Cards, plus the final season of Son of a Critch and the landmark 20th seasons of hit series Heartland and Murdoch Mysteries.
