Burden of Truth is a ten-part serialised investigative drama<br />

about life-altering legal cases. Executive Producer and<br />

star Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Beauty & the Beast) appears<br />

as Joanna Hanley, a ruthless, big-city corporate lawyer<br />

who returns to her small hometown for a case that will<br />

change her life forever.<br />

When a group of young girls are suddenly struck with<br />

a mysterious illness, Joanna is sent by her firm to her<br />

hometown of Millwood to fight the case defending a major<br />

pharmaceutical client. Joanna wins the case quickly and<br />

efficiently, crushing the girls and their small-town lawyer – her<br />

former high school classmate Billy Crawford (Peter Mooney,<br />

Rookie Blue, Heroes Reborn). But, after closing the case,<br />

Joanna realises the girls are sicker than anyone thought;<br />

the illness is causing uncontrollable twitching and seizures,<br />

making life unlivable. Medical tests have failed to uncover<br />

a cause and their symptoms are getting worse. Determined<br />

to find justice for the young girls, Joanna decides to stay in<br />

Millwood and build a new case with Billy to uncover the truth<br />

behind what’s causing the insufferable illness.<br />

As Joanna digs deeper into the case, she realises there’s<br />

not only a legal investigation in Millwood but a personal<br />

one. This is the town where she and her family lived until<br />

she was fourteen, before they suddenly packed up and left<br />

one night, never looking back. Joanna is convinced that all<br />

of the answers she’s been seeking about her broken life<br />

can be found in Millwood. And, if she’s going to fix herself,<br />

she must start where it all began – by uncovering her<br />

family’s deepest, darkest secrets.<br />

Cardinal<br />

Set in the town of Algonquin Bay in Northern Canada, Cardinal is a<br />

serialised drama based on the critically acclaimed novels by Giles Blunt.<br />

Cardinal follows detectives John Cardinal (Billy Campbell, The Killing)<br />

and Lise Delorme (Karine Vanasse, Revenge) as they investigate major<br />

crimes and unearth the darker side of their picturesque community.<br />

The series is executive produced by Sienna Films’ Jennifer Kawaja and<br />

Julia Sereny (Ransom).<br />

In the first season of Cardinal, detectives Cardinal and Delorme investigate<br />

the mysterious death of a young girl found frozen in ice. But as the case<br />

grows in scope and horror, a dark secret from Cardinal’s past threatens to<br />

derail the investigation.<br />

The #1 hit series returns for Seasons 2 and 3, each taking place in a different<br />

season of the year, highlighting the beautiful landscape of Algonquin Bay<br />

and the people and crimes that happen within it.<br />

Season 2 begins amid the lush and green summer, but longer days and<br />

warmer temperatures also bring black flies. The calm of the Algonquin Bay<br />

summer is shattered when a living gunshot victim is discovered with a bullet<br />

lodged in her brain. Even after emergency surgery, the victim cannot recall<br />

who she is, much less who tried to kill her. Cardinal and Delorme uncover a<br />

possible suspect, but when he also turns up dead, they realize they may be<br />

seeking something – and someone – far more twisted and dangerous than<br />

they imagined.<br />

Season 3 picks up in autumn, but the glorious fall colours of Algonquin Bay<br />

can’t hide a gruesome double murder for long. As Cardinal and Delorme’s<br />

detective work brings them precariously close to a doomsday cult with<br />

nothing to lose, Cardinal launches his own investigation into a case far more<br />

personal and dangerous.<br />

Based on the critically acclaimed novel, Caught is a<br />

stylish 1970s action thriller following convicted drug<br />

dealer David Slaney (Allan Hawco, Republic of Doyle,<br />

Frontier), who, with the help of a corrupt cop, breaks<br />

out of prison and travels across the globe to hunt<br />

down his drug king-pin ex-partner.<br />

Slaney was once a good man whose life was ruined<br />

when he trusted the wrong person. After getting into<br />

business with manipulative drug lord David Hearn<br />

(Eric Johnson, Fifty Shades Darker, Orphan Black),<br />

the pair are caught in an illegal trade by Officer<br />

Roy Patterson (Paul Gross, Barney’s Version). But<br />

Patterson’s alcoholism derails the operation and allows<br />

Hearn to escape incarceration, while Slaney is stripped<br />

of his freedom and loses the love of his life, Jennifer<br />

(Charlotte Sullivan, Chicago Fire, The Kennedys).<br />

To help him crack down on Hearn’s operation<br />

Patterson recruits ruthless DEA agent KC Williams<br />

(Enuka Okuma, Rookie Blue), but he knows he needs<br />

someone on the inside. Desperate for redemption and<br />

convinced Slaney will lead to Hearn, Patterson breaks<br />

Slaney out of prison.<br />

With the police hot on their trail, the unlikely alliance<br />

travels from Montreal to Mexico and Columbia to hunt<br />

down Hearn, facing mobsters, cops and con artists to<br />

clear Slaney’s name and deliver Patterson a oncein-a-lifetime<br />

bust. But in a face-to-face showdown,<br />

Hearn manages to convince Slaney to go on one final<br />

run that will set them both up for life - one that Slaney<br />

has little chance of surviving.<br />

Featuring suspenseful drama and a thrilling high<br />

stakes manhunt, Caught is a riveting tale of justice<br />

and betrayal, complex characters and treacherous<br />

seas of love, loss and last chances.<br />

Conviction<br />

Starring Hayley Atwell (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Eddie Cahill (CSI: NY) and Shawn Ashmore (X-Men: Days of Future Past),<br />

Conviction tells the story of Hayes Morrison (Atwell), the brilliant but rebellious daughter of a former President, who<br />

is blackmailed into taking a job as the head of New York’s newly created Conviction Integrity Unit (CIU). Hayes soon<br />

discovers that she enjoys digging for the truth at the heart of these mysteries, as well as beating a broken system.<br />

She, along with her team of lawyers, investigators and forensic experts, work together to examine cases where<br />

there’s credible suspicion that the wrong person may have been convicted of a crime. With only five days to come to<br />

a conclusion on each case, the team must question if the system failed, if jobs were done properly, if there was the<br />

possibility of a cover up and ultimately if justice was served.<br />

Bold, outspoken, dedicated and opinionated, the CIU team doesn’t always get along, but their clashes are nothing<br />

compared to what they deal with outside the unit. Facing opposition from cops, attorneys, medical examiners,<br />

scientists and judges, the team must question and challenge everything.<br />

The compelling and fast-paced legal drama hails from writer Liz Friedman (House) who serves as Executive Producer<br />

alongside Co-Creator Liz Friedlander (The Following), Mark Gordon (Grey’s Anatomy) and Nicholas Pepper (Quantico).<br />

Fear The<br />

Walking Dead<br />

Living in the same universe as the global phenomenon The Walking Dead,<br />

its highly-anticipated companion series Fear The Walking Dead is a gritty<br />

drama that explores the onset of the undead apocalypse through the lens<br />

of a fractured family.<br />

Set in a city where people come to escape, shield secrets, and bury their<br />

pasts, a mysterious outbreak threatens to disrupt what little stability high<br />

school guidance counsellor Madison Clark (Kim Dickens, House of Cards)<br />

and English teacher Travis Manawa (Cliff Curtis, Training Day) have<br />

managed to assemble. The everyday pressure of blending two families<br />

takes a back seat when society begins to break down. A forced evolution,<br />

a necessary survival of the fittest takes hold, and our dysfunctional family<br />

must either reinvent themselves or embrace their darker histories.<br />

The #1 hit series returns for Season 3 and the second half of the season<br />

enemies must find a way to survive together. Tension mounts at Broke Jaw<br />

Ranch as their militia is decimated, resources are scarce and the Dead are<br />

encroaching. The Gonzalez Dam, a source of life, is a larger prize to the<br />

south. Strand (Colman Domingo, Lincoln) has hit rock bottom and needs a<br />

partner to harness the world’s only currency if he is going to be resurrected.<br />

Meanwhile, Daniel (Rubén Blades, Safe House) has become el soldado<br />

again and bides his time in service to Lola (Lisandra Tena, Chicago P.D.)<br />

and the dam, but hasn’t given up the ghost of Ofelia (Mercedes Mason,<br />

Gap Year<br />

From the BAFTA-nominated producers of the critically acclaimed series Glue and The Enfield Haunting, Gap Year is an<br />

eight-part comedy-drama for E4 (UK) that follows a motley gang of travellers who embark on a three-month trip around<br />

Asia. British lads Sean and Dylan meet American girls May and Ashley in Beijing and opt to undergo the first leg of their<br />

travels together, but soon find that their journey takes them much further than any of them expected. The series features<br />

a stellar writing team including Tom Basden (Fresh Meat), James Wood (Rev), Loren McLaughlan (Shameless), Amy<br />

Roberts (Shameless), Sam Leifer (Plebs), Charlie Covell (Banana), Tim Key (Alan Partridge) and Johnny Sweet (Together).<br />

Despite wielding travel guides, digital cameras and water purification tablets, the gang is not treating this as a holiday,<br />

and all have a personal quest that’s brought them halfway round the world. Will the gang manage to find the nirvana they<br />

seek as they camp on the Great Wall, wade through jungles in Malaysia, rub shoulders with expats in Singapore and the<br />

crowds that throng the streets of Kathmandu? Or will they lose their money, their passports and control of their bowels<br />

in a filthy backpacking hostel that doesn’t exist on Google Maps? None of them get what they hoped for, but all gain<br />

something better, as they learn that no matter how far you go and how hard you try, you can’t take a holiday from yourself.<br />

Hell On Wheels<br />

The AMC Original Drama Series Hell on Wheels is an Emmy®-nominated contemporary Western series<br />

that tells the story of Bohannon’s journey, a story that rides on Union Pacific’s construction of the first<br />

transcontinental railroad. The Civil War is in the past, but former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon<br />

(Anson Mount, Lost) can’t put it behind him. Fresh are the horrific memories of the death of his wife, killed at<br />

the hands of the Union soldiers setting Bohannon on a course of revenge.<br />

Season 5 of Hell on Wheels sees the final push to finish the road and brings with it a reckoning for<br />

Bohannon and the men standing in his path: the bloodthirsty Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl,<br />

The Twilight Saga); the mercenary Chang (Byron Mann, Arrow), and the rapacious Thomas Durant<br />

(Golden Globe®-nominated Colm Meaney, Star Trek). Bohannon contends with corruption, greed and<br />

murder as he leads the Central Pacific through the Sierras and across the Utah desert to Promontory Point.<br />

Allegiances are tested as partners get caught up in the online<br />

Set in the late 1980s, the SundanceTV Original Drama Series<br />

Hap and Leonard is a darkly comic swamp noir adventure<br />

of two best friends, one femme fatale, a crew of washedup<br />

revolutionaries, a pair of murderous psycho-killers,<br />

some lost loot, and the fuzz. Based on the novels by Joe<br />

R. Lansdale, the series follows Hap Collins (James Purefoy,<br />

The Following), an East Texas white boy with a weakness for<br />

Southern women, and Leonard Pine (Michael Kenneth Williams,<br />

Boardwalk Empire, The Wire), a gay, black Vietnam vet with<br />

a hot temper. When Hap’s seductive ex-wife Trudy (Christina<br />

Hendricks, Mad Men) resurfaces with a deal they can’t refuse,<br />

a simple get-rich-quick scheme snowballs into bloody mayhem.<br />

In Season 2, Hap and Leonard: Mucho Mojo, Hap and Leonard<br />

find themselves in mucho-trouble as they unravel a murder<br />

mystery with more twists and turns than an East Texas highway.<br />

The story begins with a skeleton; Trudy’s missing ashes; a<br />

pissing match with a neighbourhood drug dealer, and a piece<br />

of MeMaw’s fresh baked pie. When Leonard is arrested for a<br />

murder he didn’t commit, Hap and attorney Florida Grange<br />

(Tiffany Mack, iZombie) must work to clear his name. The only<br />

things standing in their way are Hap’s unquenchable thirst for<br />

Florida; a serial killer; bad mojo; and themselves.<br />

Chock-full of eccentric characters, Hap and Leonard provides<br />

a country twist on the classic mystery thriller.<br />

Hidden America<br />

Critically acclaimed parody and sketch comedy series Hidden America hails from the<br />

hilarious Emmy®-winning Executive Producer Troy Miller (Arrested Development, The<br />

Office) and the Emmy®-nominated production company behind Flight of the Conchords.<br />

Comedian Jonah Ray (Mystery Science Theatre 3000) travels across America from<br />

city to city, visiting neighbourhood hot spots and tasting the local cuisine in the same<br />

style as a traditional travel series – but instead, the local people he interacts with are all<br />

fictional to shine a light on the culture truths that other travel shows won’t touch.<br />

Boston to Austin and Los Angeles to New Orleans, each episode of Hidden America<br />

brings to life a different major American city, as Ray finds himself in absurd scenarios<br />

with eccentric and unusual characters that include a liquored-up wine magazine<br />

editor in San Francisco, a mayor that is actually a goat in Austin and Seattle’s<br />

weather-induced depression.<br />

Having garnered rave reviews from The New York Times, The LA Times, The<br />

Huffington Post and more, Hidden America was immediately renewed following its<br />

Season 1 premiere. Each episode of Season 2 brings another American city to life.<br />

But this season, Jonah surprises viewers and travels across the pond to explore<br />

Europe. Whether in the U.S. or the UK, Jonah is up to his old tricks: in each place he<br />

goes to, he realises that it is the local characters that make each city unique, and<br />

often they end up teaching Jonah more about himself than he expected.<br />

Hidden America features guest appearances from many recognisable faces<br />

including David Koechner (Anchorman), Randall Park (Trainwreck, Veep),<br />

Grammy Award winning Weird Al Yankovic, Joel Murray (Mad Men), Jorge Garcia<br />

(Lost), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community), Joel Hodgson (Mystery Science Theater 3000)<br />

Season 2 picks up in the aftermath of Green & Green’s<br />

closure. Jake and Freddy’s finances and reputations are in<br />

shambles and they must find a way to rebuild – and to redeem<br />

themselves. The discovery of a magnificent rough diamond<br />

brings the promise of both, and could put the Green brothers<br />

back on top. But when Jake forces Freddy to tap into his inner<br />

demons to cut the stone, a rift begins to form between the<br />

brothers. A vicious war with their uncle Cam and the ultimate<br />

showdown with Lady Rah (Judith Shekoni, The Twilight Saga:<br />

Breaking Dawn), increases the gap, threatening to push the<br />

brothers apart forever.<br />

All the while, a personal tragedy drives Lady Rah to wage<br />

war on the diamond industry – from the inside, while Cam,<br />

ostracised from the family, joins forces with his estranged son,<br />

Malcolm (Ashley Thomas, 24: Legacy) in London, to navigate<br />

the dangerous and extremely lucrative underworld of blood<br />

diamonds and to bring down Jake and Freddy, permanently –<br />

no matter what the cost.<br />

Featuring a stellar on-screen cast and creative talent, ICE<br />

Into The Badlands<br />

The AMC Original Drama Series Into The Badlands is a genre-bending martial arts<br />

series, loosely based on the famous historical Chinese tale Journey to the West.<br />

Hundreds of years in the future, the Earth and most of its population have been<br />

ravaged by disaster. Lacking the sophistication of our current age, the survivors<br />

have regressed to an existence predicated on foraged latter-day technology and a<br />

culture of ruthless social Darwinism.<br />

Set in a land controlled by violent and feudal barons, Into The Badlands follows<br />

the ruthless and great warrior Sunny (Daniel Wu, Warcraft) and the young boy,<br />

M.K. (Aramis Knight), who together embark on a journey across the dangerous<br />

Badlands seeking enlightenment.<br />

Throughout their unplanned alliance, Sunny begins to discover what might be<br />

so special about M.K. Attacked and wounded in a slave battle, M.K. displays an<br />

otherworldly power. Despite Sunny’s reluctance to acknowledge it, he and M.K.<br />

are connected through their apparently humble yet mysterious backgrounds. But<br />

neither they nor most of the other surviving inhabitants have any idea that M.K. will<br />

be the spark that sets the once-stable citadel, and eventually the entire Badlands,<br />

aflame.<br />

The action-packed Season 2 of Into The Badlands is set six months after the<br />

Season 1 finale and finds both Sunny and M.K. stripped of their liberty, love, power<br />

and families. Taken prisoner far away from the Badlands, Sunny must find a way<br />

to escape to reunite with his child, while M.K. slowly becomes more aware of his<br />

powers. But everything changes when the mysterious Abbotts arrive; a group of<br />

skilled fighters able to control the Chi. Meanwhile, Quinn learns of Sunny’s plan<br />

and discovers M.K.’s power, which leads to an epic and violent battle.<br />

Mr. D<br />

Mr. D is based on Gerry Dee’s real-life experiences as a high school<br />

teacher before switching to a career in comedy. The premise shines<br />

the light on teaching from the teacher’s point of view, and as it turns<br />

out, teachers don’t know everything, especially Mr. D.<br />

Qualified to teach gym class, Gerry Duncan is instead hired in the<br />

social studies department of the prestigious Xavier Academy. Gerry<br />

struggles to stay ahead of his students as he fakes his way through<br />

each class, having decided that he knows enough to get by, and he<br />

can just improvise everything else.<br />

Season 6 of Mr. D begins where last season left off, with Gerry and<br />

Lisa (Lauren Hammersley, Orphan Black) coping with the aftermath of<br />

their horrific, drunken nuptials. The duo must navigate the minefield<br />

of their relationship and in the end land on an unorthodox agreement<br />

that blurs the line between teacher and boss, man and wife and<br />

happiness and misery. At the same time, Gerry forges ahead in his<br />

misguided efforts to somehow finally win the Phys. Ed. position that<br />

has eluded him for so long. Meanwhile, Robert (Jonathan Torrens,<br />

Trailer Park Boys) will find himself fulfilling a couple of his own lifelong<br />

dreams, reaching new heights both personally and professionally.<br />

• Mr. D has been a consistent Top 10 performer on CBC<br />

S1: 6 × 30 MIN – NEW<br />

30-year-old AJ is a successful radio host, but his personal life is a mess. When he<br />

discovers that his long-term girlfriend has been having an affair with his best friend,<br />

AJ finds himself single for the first time in 10 years.<br />

Created by leading Australian comedy talent, Matt Okine, who stars as AJ,<br />

The Other Guy is a funny and raw look at the complexities of dating and relationships<br />

in the modern age. It balances pathos with achingly honest humour as it charts<br />

AJ’s journey through a strange new world, treating the universal themes of racism,<br />

community, family, love, loss, sex, and infidelity with a light touch and razor-sharp wit.<br />

Co-starring Valene Kane (The Fall, Rogue One) and Harriet Dyer (Love Child,<br />

No Activity), the series is produced by Aquarius Films (Lion, Wish You Were Here),<br />

and penned by Matt Okine, Becky Lucas (Please Like Me), and Greg Waters<br />

(Soul Mates, Dance Academy).<br />

Now that he’s a minor celebrity and has some money to his name, AJ is dealing<br />

with his heartbreak the only way he knows how: binge drinking, inappropriate and<br />

offensive behaviour, the misuse of Class A substances, and sexual entanglements<br />

that leave everyone involved feeling slightly soiled.<br />

He may have found success, but he’s lost the person he wanted to share it with.<br />

And while Liv cheated on him, she’s also funny, beautiful, and fond of the little<br />

things that make AJ feel insecure, including a receding hairline and small white<br />

dots on his penis.<br />

Ultimately there is no amount of drink, drugs, or sex with strangers that can protect<br />

him from one of the harshest – if most common – realities of adulthood: heartbreak.<br />

The Other Guy is an adaptation of multi-award-winning comedian Matt Okine’s<br />

hit stand-up show. It is a frank and no-holds-barred exploration of sex, love, and<br />

identity in the digital age – and of just how difficult it can sometimes be to take<br />

responsibility and grow up.<br />

Private Eyes<br />

Private Eyes is an engaging primetime procedural private detective drama<br />

featuring two strong and forever-competing characters investigating high-stakes<br />

cases of the week. Ex-professional sports player Matt Shade (Jason Priestley,<br />

Beverly Hills, 90210) irrevocably changes his life when he decides to team up<br />

with fierce P.I. Angie Everett (Cindy Sampson, Rookie Blue) to form an unlikely<br />

investigative powerhouse.<br />

Returning for a super-sized 18-episode second season, Shade has officially<br />

joined Everett Investigations as Angie’s partner, but they quickly realise<br />

they have contrasting views of how the business should run: Angie prefers<br />

strategic thinking, while Shade jumps in with both feet. One thing’s clear: their<br />

contrasting skillsets yield results when it comes to solving cases. As their<br />

success grows, the cases get bigger and more sophisticated, plunging them<br />

into the diverse worlds of auto racing, real estate, high fashion, and private<br />

school privilege. Through all the bickering and disagreements, there’s an<br />

undeniable romantic attraction between the two – something they’ll have<br />

to acknowledge sooner or later. Golden Globe®-winner William Shatner<br />

(Star Trek, Boston Legal) guest stars as a private investigator nemesis to Angie.<br />

The series’ protagonist is Eric Beaumont (Luke Roberts, Black Sails,<br />

psychological profiling, strategic analysis, and security assessment.<br />

Together they combine their unique skills with gut instincts to take<br />

control of the negotiation and secure the safe release of the hostages.<br />

Eric’s extraordinary negotiating abilities come at a price. His<br />

manipulative skills are something he can’t ‘turn off’, causing his wife<br />

Nathalie, whom he deeply loves, to leave with daughter Evie.<br />

Blending mystery and emotional drama with a kinetic, ticking-clock<br />

storyline, Ransom sees the team travel the globe to negotiate highpressure<br />

Saving Hope<br />

Pulse-pounding surgeries, adrenaline-fuelled breakthroughs and sultry<br />

romances fill the episodes of medical drama series Saving Hope. When<br />

tragedy strikes Hope Zion Hospital and Chief of Surgery Dr. Charlie Harris<br />

Smallville), in a state of shock. As the action unfolds, comatose Dr. Harris<br />

explores the hospital halls in ‘spirit’ form, not sure if he’s a ghost or a figment<br />

of his own imagination. Meanwhile, Dr. Reid and her fellow doctors press<br />

on to save his life and those of their other patients, as they deal with the<br />

The AMC Original Drama Series The Walking Dead, the worldwide<br />

phenomenon and television’s most watched drama, tells the story<br />

of the months and years that follow after a zombie apocalypse. It<br />

follows a group of survivors, led by former police officer Rick Grimes<br />

(Andrew Lincoln, Love Actually), who travel in search of a safe and<br />

secure home. Over time, the characters are changed by the constant<br />

exposure to death and some grow willing to do anything to survive.<br />

The Golden Globe®-nominated series returns for an epic eighth season<br />

and sees Rick bring ‘all-out war’ to Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan,<br />

The Good Wife) and his forces. The Saviours are larger, betterequipped,<br />

and ruthless – but Rick and the unified communities are<br />

fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are<br />

drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.<br />

Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but<br />

it’s not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that<br />

they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will<br />

be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces,<br />

Maggie (Lauren Cohan, Batman V. Superman: The Dawn of Justice)<br />

leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel (Khary Payton, Young Justice)<br />

leading the Kingdom – Negan and the Saviours’ grip on this world<br />

may finally be coming to an end.<br />

• The world’s #1 show returns for Season 8 following the hugely<br />

Drug Wars<br />

For more than 40 years, the U.S. government has waged a war on drugs.<br />

Millions have been put in prison, billions spent on enforcement, and yet the<br />

price of street drugs keeps going down, while the quality keeps getting better.<br />

Drug Wars is a candid look at the kingpins that have moved from simply trading<br />

drugs to taxing businesses and running human trafficking networks, their<br />

control of towns along the U.S. and Mexico border, and the frustrated locals<br />

that have taken matters into their own hands in an attempt to fight back.<br />

In the third season of Drug Wars, attention is returned back to American<br />

soil, where this decades-long war continues to threaten the stability of<br />

American cities. Exploring current trends in drug-related crimes, looking<br />

specifically at their rise in the U.S., despite efforts to legalise marijuana in<br />

some states.<br />

Season 3 looks deeper into the men and women who protect American<br />

borders, not only to keep illegal immigrants and drugs from entering<br />

the country, but even more importantly to keep vigilant on far worse<br />

contrabands possibly related to terrorism and other sinister activities.<br />

Dangerous Persuasions tells the extraordinary true stories of everyday men and women who were persuaded<br />

With powerful and poignant first-hand accounts from the very people who were brainwashed, the series<br />

HIGHLIGHTS


A Christmas<br />

Princess<br />

Against the backdrop of Christmas in Southern California comes<br />

A Christmas Princess, a heart-warming story inspired by true events<br />

about one brave high school girl who overcomes her difficult past to<br />

become one of the elite princesses in the world-renowned royal court<br />

of the Tournament of Rose Parade.<br />

The young women of the Rose Parade act as ambassadors for the<br />

community, and most people naturally assume they come from<br />

privileged lives — but for Princess Donaly Marquez (Nicole Munoz,<br />

Fantastic Four), nothing could be further from the truth.<br />

After being removed from their drug-addicted and neglectful mother,<br />

Donaly and her two younger siblings are placed into the difficult<br />

and uncertain world of the foster care system, where they struggle<br />

between homes for years. Eventually they are taken in by the loving<br />

Marquez family and adopted. But the impermanence of her history<br />

has left Donaly scarred, afraid to truly believe that good fortune<br />

has finally found her, and more importantly, whether she deserves<br />

happiness and can ever escape her genetic destiny.<br />

It’s not until she goes through the Tournament’s challenging selection<br />

process that she finally makes peace with her past and fully embraces<br />

her loving new family, as well as herself, just in time for the holidays.<br />

(Laura Bell Bundy, How I Met Your Mother, Anger Management) is kind, charismatic and funny with a<br />

heart of gold – qualities that work perfectly for her job as a greeting card writer.<br />

As the star card writer at Harrington House of Cards, Darcy writes about romance with humour and<br />

great insight, but the reality is that she is single, with four cats. When new CEO Will Harrington takes<br />

over the company from his ailing grandfather, Darcy is appalled by his bottom-line approach and fears<br />

that he will institute massive lay-offs.<br />

Even though Darcy and Will clash at first, there’s a powerful chemistry between these two — if only<br />

they can get past the misunderstandings and miscommunication that may doom their romance before<br />

it truly begins!
