Fox has retained Diggstown legal eagle Marcie Diggs to help bolster its schedule.

In keeping with a pandemic-era trend in which U.S broadcast-tv networks turn to pre-produced material to ease their reliance on more slowly (and more expensively) produced original content, Fox has acquired both seasons (12 episodes) of Diggstown, a Canadian legal drama which made its debut up north almost two years ago.

Fox has picked up Canadian legal drama “Diggstown” from Entertainment One.

Created by Floyd Kane, and starring Vinessa Antoine, the series from Canadian public broadcaster CBC follows Marcie Diggs (Antoine), a star corporate lawyer who reconsiders her priorities and moves to work in a legal-aid office after her aunt commits suicide following the pressures of a malicious prosecution. Among a new group of ragtag lawyers, Marcie is driven by one thing: to never again allow innocent lives to be destroyed by the justice system.

Fox has swooped for seasons 1 and 2 of the drama. The acquisition marks the latest Canadian pick-up by a U.S. broadcaster — a trend that has grown in popularity in the last year as the Covid-19 crisis has stunted production Stateside but has had less of an impact north of the border.

The cast includes Natasha Henstridge (“Species”), C. David Johnson (“Street Legal”), Stacey Farber (“Grace and...

Canadian legal drama Diggstown is heading to the U.S. after Fox acquired the series.

The U.S. network has become the latest broadcast network to lean into buying international scripted series to deal with the impact of Covid-19. It previously acquired Canadian unscripted series Holmes Family Effect.

The broadcaster has picked up twelve episodes for seasons one and two of the drama, which comes from eOne and stars General Hospital’s Vinessa Antoine.

Created by Floyd Kane, Diggstown follows Marcie Diggs (Antoine), a star corporate lawyer who reconsiders her priorities and moves to work in a legal-aid office after her beloved aunt takes her own life following the pressures of a malicious prosecution.

The series explores issues of social injustice among other topical matters and universal themes. The team of lawyers that Marcie works with are a curious band of do-gooders, cynics, and scrappers – messy souls struggling to keep...

The court isn't adjourned for the Diggstown TV series. The legal drama has been renewed for a third season on CBC in Canada. The series airs on the BET+ streaming service in the United States and the first season of six episodes was released on April 23rd. BET+ hasn't revealed if the service will run the additional seasons but, it seems likely.

The Diggstown TV show follows a legal aid lawyer named Marcie Diggs (Vinessa Antoine) who continues her exploration of a system fraying at the edges. She and her band of tireless colleagues fight to protect society's most vulnerable from a capricious justice system. In the third season, Marcie and her cohorts are pushed to the brink, frustrated by an under-resourced and overtaxed legal aid system. The show's cast includes Natasha Henstridge, C. David Johnson, Stacey Farber, Brandon Oakes, Shailene Garnett, Tim Rozon, and Dwain Murphy.

In today’s TV news roundup, Hulu released the trailer for “The Great,” and AMC dropped a teaser for “Quiz.”

Can Shadowhunters come back from its disappointing first episode? Here's our review of The Mortal Instruments TV opener...

This review contains spoilers.

1.1 The Mortal Cup

Lots of pilot episodes seem a bit clunky. They’ve got a fair amount of setting up to do, after all – the first episode of anything needs to introduce its audience to a setting, to characters, and, if the show’s got any kind of sci-fi or fantasy element, to the rules of its universe. So sometimes you get a bit more telling than showing, and some on-the-nose dialogue. That’s generally forgivable. But in the case of Shadowhunters, its first episode was so awkward it might be hard to come back from it.

To give it its due, it gets the first part out of the way quickly and fairly elegantly. The opening sequence establishes that this is a magical world...

Netflix has released a creepy new trailer for its upcoming Michael McGowan series Between. The Canadian thriller stars iCarly‘s Jennette McCurdy as one of a group left behind by a mysterious plague that has killed everyone over the age of 21 in the tiny town of Pretty Lake. The youth are quarantined by the government and forced to redefine their society in order to survive.

The cast also includes Jesse Carere, Ryan Allen, Justin Kelly, Krystal Nausbaum, Brooke Palsson, Shailyn Pierre Dixon, Kyle Mac, Jim Watson, Wesley Morgan, Michael Reventar, Jordan Todosey, Sarah Podemski, Jack Murray, and Shailene Garnett. The show is produced by Don Caromdy Television and Mulmur Feed Co. in association with Elevation Pictures Corp.

Breaking its pattern of releasing an entire series at once, Netflix will dole out Between‘s six one-hour episodes weekly beginning at 11:30 p.m. Et on May 21. In Canada, the show will premiere on May 21 at 8 p.

Among the slew of new shows Netflix will be airing this season is the Canadian drama Between. The streaming service has now announced that the series will be premiering on Thursday, May 21. However, the most notable aspect of this series is that, unlike Netflix’s other offerings, the service will be releasing new episodes of the show’s 6-episode first season on a weekly basis. As part of the agreement under which Netflix bought the broadcast rights to the show, which is a three-way deal that involves Rogers in Canada as well as the Canadian streaming service Shomi, the episodes will make their premiere on Canada’s CityTV, which has first window right, on Thursday nights at 8 pm Est, with Netflix releasing the episodes on its services worldwide an hour later at 9 pm Est.

The strategy is a noted departure from Netflix’s prior model of releasing shows, as the...

As we’re well aware, there are many rules within The Strain’s strigoi-killing universe (to wit, it can now be confirmed that offing the Master withers all his spawns). But the most consistent maxim seems to be that cumbersome cynics and non-believers don’t last long. Which is probably for the best, since they’re really annoying. One feels for Joan’s housekeeper, Neeva, when her young daughter Sebastiane (Shailene Garnett) gets an arrow in the eye from a mysterious new band of antihero vamps. Still, what did Sebastiane think would come of flouting all that medical knowhow and casual French dialect, never mind the gumption to drag Jayden and Keene back to their mother’s house of horrors? All one had to do was take a long look at Mr. Luss (Aaron Douglas of Battlestar Galactica) laid out on the floor to see what becomes of those who...
