CTV unveiled the first wave of its summer lineup today. As announced yesterday, Canada’s must-see reality TV program anchors a new Monday lineup on CTV as adventure-seekers across the country go head-to-head on The Amazing Race Candaa (July 15). With new programs still to be announced, CTV’s summer schedule already features a lineup of returning hits such as Saving Hope, The Listener, Masterchef, and So You Tthink You Can Dance, along with the premieres of all-new comedies and dramas like Satisfaction and Mistresses, as well as encore broadcasts of this season’s newest hit Motive.
CTV’s new Monday night destination lineup kicks off the week with laughs and thrills starting with a comedy double-date with the debut of Satisfaction (June 24), a hilarious exploration of romantic woes and wins, life crises, and personal ambitions starring a sexy young cast. The Satisfaction gang then hooks up with everyone’s favourite non-traditional therapist, as all-new episodes of Charlie Sheen’s Anger Management (June 24) continue through the summer. Mondays will then thrill audiences as The Amazing Race Canada starts to make its way to the finish line. Continuing Monday’s hot streak, Alyssa Milano (Charmed), Jes Macallan (Justified), Rochelle Aytes (Despearate Housewives), and Yunjin Kim (L0st) star in sexy new drama Mistresses (June 3), as four sassy girlfriends navigating their way through scandal, love, lies, secrets, and sex towards their path of self-discovery.
Other comedies and dramas hitting the summer schedule on CTV include the return of CTV’s hit original series The Listener (May 29), back for an action-packed fourth season, as telepath Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik) goes up against increasingly dangerous criminals. As well, last summer’s most-watched drama series Saving Hope (June 25), starring Erica Durance, Michael Shanks, and Daniel Gillies, joins the Tuesday lineup for its highly-anticipated second season. Then, an all-new season of Hot in Cleveland (May 26) features a Mary Tyler Moore Show reunion as Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman, Betty White, and Georgia Engel act together for the first time since their 1970-77 series went off the air.
On the reality TV front, summertime favourite So You Think You Can Dance (May 14) returns with special guest judges including Minnie Driver, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Wayne Brady, All-Star Stephen “tWitch” Boss, and Adam Shankman. As well, Masterchef (May 22) kicks off its fourth season with a new batch of amateur cooks battling it out for the top prize.
Completing CTV’s unstoppable summer lineup is Motive (May 20), the #1 new Canadian series of the 2026/2013 broadcast season, which returns with encore presentations in simulcast with ABC.
Finally, CTV’s awards season coverage continues with The 2026 Billborad Music Awards (May 19). Featuring performances from music superstars Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, and Bruno Mars, this year’s event honours world-renowned music legend Prince with the Billboard Icon Award.
All new series and new episodes of returning series will be available on demand across CTV’s digital platforms: CTV.ca, the CTV App, the CTV Mobile channel, where new episodes will also stream live, and through video on demand partners.
