“The Neighborhood” – this hilarious new comedy stars charismatic actor and comedian Cedric the Entertainer (“Barber Shop”) as an opinionated suburbanite who is wary of his new neighbour (Max Greenfield, “New Girl”).
“Happy Together” – starring one of the most in-demand actors from pilot season, Damon Wayans Jr. (“New Girl”), and Amber Stevens West (“Ghosted”), this new comedy follows a 30-something happily married couple who begin to reconnect with their younger, cooler selves when an exuberant young pop star unexpectedly moves in with them.
“I Feel Bad” – executive produced by the multi-talented actress, comedian, director, and writer Amy Poehler (“Parks and Recreation”), this new family comedy stars Sarayu Blue (“No Tomorrow”) as a mom, boss, friend, wife and daughter who is perfectly OK with being imperfect.
“Dancing with the Stars: Juniors” – A new take on an established favourite, the reality series pairs celebrity kids with professional junior ballroom dancers to perform choreographed routines, which will be judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts.
“Abby’s” (midseason) – From the producers of “The Good Place” comes a hilariously aspirational new comedy about the best bar in San Francisco — home to good prices, great company and of course, Abby! Filmed outdoors in front of a live studio audience, this ensemble comedy features Natalie Morales (“Parks and Recreation”) and Neil Flynn (“The Middle”).
“This year we secured the most coveted new drama “New Amsterdam”, and focused on selecting new programming that complements our strong roster of established hits,” said Maria Hale, Senior Vice President, Global Entertainment & Content Acquisition, Corus Entertainment. “Creating a well-balanced schedule with compelling dramas, new comedy lineups, and some of the best reality series, Global is positioned for a successful fall season.”
