VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Fall is almost here, which means the debut of new TV shows. Here’s a glimpse of what’s to come on Citytv.
REVOLUTION (drama)
Premieres Monday, Sept. 17 at 10 p.m. (Pacific)
What would happen if electricity suddenly stopped working? One day, without explanation, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution. A young woman’s life is dramatically changed when a local militia kills her father, who mysteriously – and unbeknownst to her – had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring journey for answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.
Executive Producers: Jon Favreau and J.J. Abrams. Stars Billy Burke (The Twilight Saga) and Canadian Tracy Spiridakos.
PARTNERS (comedy)
Premieres Monday, Sept. 24 at 8:30 p.m. (Pacific)
A comedy about two life-long best friends and business partners, whose “bromance” is tested when one of them gets engaged. Joe is an accomplished architect who leads with his head and not his heart, especially in his love life, while gay co-worker, Louis is spontaneous, emotional and prone to exaggeration. As news of Joe’s engagement settles, time will tell if their business and personal bond can adapt to the addition of two other important relationships.
Based on the lives of creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick (creators of Will & Grace). Stars David Krumholtz, Michael Urie (Ugly Betty), Sophia Bush (One Tree Hill), Brandon Routh (Superman)
BEN AND KATE (comedy)
Premieres Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 8:30 p.m. (Pacific)
What happens when an exuberant, irresponsible dreamer who always says “yes” moves in with his overly responsible little sister to help raise her five-year-old daughter? This is a heart-warming story of deeply mismatched siblings: a sister who needs to go for her dreams and a brother who needs to get his head out of the clouds.
Stars Dakota Johnson (The Social Network), Nat Faxon (Academy Award®-winning writer The Descendents, Bad Teacher), Maggie Jones (We Bought a Zoo), and Lucy Punch (Bad Teacher)
THE MINDY PROJECT
Premieres Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 9:30 p.m. (Pacific)
A single-camera comedy about a woman who, despite having a successful career, desperately needs to break bad habits in her personal life. Funny, impatient and politically incorrect, Mindy can quote every romantic comedy starring Meg Ryan that exists. She is determined to be more punctual, spend less money, lose weight and read more books – all in pursuit of becoming a well-rounded perfect woman…who can meet and date the perfect guy.
From Emmy Award®-nominated writer/producer and New York Times best-selling author Mindy Kaling (The Office). Also stars Chris Messina (Damages), Ed Weeks (Olivia Lee: Dirty, Sexy, Funny), and Anna Camp (The Help)
666 PARK AVENUE (drama)
When Jane and Henry, an idealistic young couple from the Midwest, are offered the opportunity to manage the historic 999 Park Avenue building, they not only fall prey to the machinations of the building’s mysterious owner Doran and his Olivia, but they unwittingly begin to experience the shadowy, supernatural forces within the building that imprison and endanger the lives of the residents inside.
666 Park Avenue is based on the book series by Gabriella Pierce. Stars Rachael Taylor (Transformer), Dave Annable (Brothers & Sisters), Robert Buckley (One Tree Hill), Helena Mattsson (Iron Man 2), Vanessa Williams (Desperate Housewives), and Terry O’Quinn (Lost)
THE BACHELOR CANADA (reality)
Premieres Wednesday, Oct. 3 at 9 p.m. (Pacific)
Beginning Oct 10, will air regularly Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m.
Bachelor Brad Smith looks for love in all the right places in the first-ever edition of The Bachelor Canada. Featuring dates from around the world, surprise visits from celebrity guests, never-before-seen jaw-dropping surprises – and of course, some of the most dramatic rose ceremonies ever – the original, nine-episode series is set to debut to rose-loving audiences across the country on Oct. 3. Bachelor Brad is ready to find love, but will he find his happy ending? Helping Brad on his journey with 25 Canadian bachelorettes is host Tyler Harcott.
