In Season 7 of Chicago PD, Det. Sgt. Hank Voight (Jason Beghe, Californication) and his Intelligence team are challenged in new ways as their every move is watched by citizens, politicians, and the government.
Headlining Citytv Monday nights is the buzziest new drama of the year, featuring a father-daughter legal team who tackles the toughest David-and-Goliath cases that Memphis has to offer. Starring Jimmy Smits (NYPD Blue), Caitlin McGee (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Barry Sloane (Revenge), and Michael Luwoye (The Gifted),Bluff City Law premieres Monday, Sept. 23.
And Citytv's highest-rated original scripted series - reaching 4.1M viewers in its original full-season run* - returns with more action and heart when Season 2 of Hudson & Rex moves to a new night, beginning Tuesday, Sept. 24. Produced by Shaftesbury and Pope Productions Ltd., in association with Citytv and Beta Film GmbH, production on Season 2 of the police-procedural drama - starring John Reardon, canine Diesel vom Burgimwald, Mayko Nguyen, Kevin Hanchard, and Justin Kelly - is now underway in St. John's, Nfld.

COMEDIES
Premiering Tuesday, Sept. 24, all-new 30-minute spinoff comedymixed-ish tells the childhood story of a young Rainbow Johnson (Arica Himmell, Thanksgiving) in this prequel to beloved Citytv favourite black-ish. Narrated by Tracee Ellis Ross (black-ish), the series takes viewers to the 1980s as 'Bow' and her siblings navigate the challenges of figuring out who you are when the rest of the world can't decide where you belong. Then, Bradley Whitford (The West Wing) and Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect) take centre stage when the smart and hilarious new comedy Perfect Harmony finds a group of singers that are out of tune in more ways than one, beginning Thursday, Sept. 26.
