Joining CTV’s previously announced highly anticipated spring series including DECEPTION, FOR THE PEOPLE, THE CROSSING, and the GREY’S ANATOMY spinoff recently entitled STATION 19, the schedule features the one-hour detective drama THE DETAIL, the hit CSA-nominated culinary competition MASTERCHEF CANADA, and the revival of iconic sitcom ROSEANNE. The network also confirmed premiere dates for three new comedies coming to CTV Two: LIVING BIBLICALLY, SPLITTING UP TOGETHER, and ALEX, INC.
