Canada’s CBC network has handed out a bunch of renewals today for shows which air in various different places in the UK, including ‘Allegiance‘, ‘Heartland‘, ‘Murdoch Mysteries‘, ‘Wild Cards‘ and ‘North Of North‘.

‘Allegiance‘ has been renewed for Season 3, and has recently been picked up by UKTV to air on U&Alibi later this year. Created by Anar Ali (Transplant), it is a character-driven police procedural set in Surrey, BC, about identity and belonging, policing and politics, and finding new paths to truth and justice for all. The series is nominated for eight Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Drama Series and Best Lead Performer for Supinder Wraich and Best Supporting Performer for Enrico Colantoni, and is produced by Lark Productions in association with Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group.

‘Heartland‘, which airs on Netflix in the UK, has been renewed for Season 19. Set against the glorious backdrop of the foothills of Alberta, it is a multi-generational family drama that is much loved by fans of all ages in Canada and around the world. Based on the bestselling series of books by Lauren Brooke, the series follows Amy Fleming (Amber Marshall) and her family as they deal with the challenges of running the Heartland Ranch that has been with them for generations. Star Michelle Morgan is nominated for a Canadian Screen Award in the category of Best Lead Performer. The long-running series is produced by Dynamo Films and SEVEN24 Films.

‘Murdoch Mysteries‘ airs on U&Alibi in the UK, and has been renewed for a 21-episode 19th Season. Set in Toronto in the early 1900s during the age of invention, Detective William Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) enlists innovative forensic techniques to solve some of the city’s most perplexing murders. The much-loved series has received 10 Canadian Screen Award nominations, including a Best Lead Performer nomination for Hélène Joy and Best Supporting Performer nods for Jonny Harris, Daniel Maslany and Clare McConnell, and is produced by Shaftesbury in association with ITV Studios and UKTV and distributed by Shaftesbury Sales Company and ITV Studios.

‘Wild Cards‘, which has been picked up by Paramount+ in the UK and is due to begin airing in May 2025, has been renewed for both Seasons 3 & 4 of 10 episodes each. The drama is a blue sky procedural with a comedic twist that follows the unlikely duo of a by-the-book, sardonic cop Cole Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti) and a spirited, clever con woman Max Mitchell (Vanessa Morgan) who are partnered together to solve crimes. From Blink49 Studios, Front Street Pictures and Piller/Segan in association with The CW, the series is created by Michael Konyves with international distribution handled by FIFTH SEASON. Konyves recently won the 2025 WGC Screenwriting Award in the Drama Series category for his writing on ‘Wild Cards’.

‘North Of North‘, a co-production between CBC and Netflix in association with APTN, which airs on Netflix UK, has been renewed for Season 2. The comedy stars Anna Lambe (True Detective, Trickster, The Grizzlies) as Siaja, a young Inuk woman who dreams of reinventing herself in her tiny Arctic community of Ice Cove, a town where everybody knows your business. After a spontaneous — and extremely public — exit from her marriage, Siaja finds herself navigating the unpredictable, and often hilarious, highs and lows that come with relationships, motherhood, a new job, and finding your way. The first season also features actors Maika Harper, Braeden Clarke, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Jay Ryan, Zorga Qaunaq, Bailey Poching, Kelly William, Keira Belle Cooper and Nutaaq Doreen Simmonds.

In addition to these five, they also renewed police procedural series ‘Saint-Pierre‘ for a 2nd Season, which was CBC’s #1 most-watched new series of the year and one of the top Canadian drama series nationwide. From creators Allan Hawco, Robina Lord-Stafford and Perry Chafe, the series stars Allan Hawco and Josephine Jobert as two seasoned officers, with very different policing skills and approaches, working together to solve unique and exciting crimes in the French territory of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. The series does not currently have a UK broadcaster.
