MUST-WATCH FOR THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 30

CTV: The season premieres of MAGNUM P.I. and BLUE BLOODS debut Friday, Dec. 4 beginning at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV. On the Season 3 premiere of MAGNUM P.I. at 9 p.m. ET/PT, Magnum (Jay Hernandez) and Higgins’ (Perdita Weeks) new clients hire them to find their missing brother, and a secret case of revenge is revealed during the investigation. Then, on the Season 11 premiere of BLUE BLOODS at 10 p.m. ET/PT, amidst a shifting political climate, Frank (Tom Selleck) goes head-to-head with City Council Speaker Regina Thomas (guest star Whoopi Goldberg) over protests against police brutality. Also, Jamie (Will Estes) and his nephew Joe Hill (Will Hochman) work together to locate Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Baez (Marisa Ramirez) when they go missing while searching for a killer, and Eddie (Vanessa Ray) helps an abrasive woman find her father’s body after it was misplaced at the outset of the pandemic.

CTV Comedy Channel: Season 2 of TACOMA FD culminates on a festive note, Thursday, Dec. 3 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT. The holiday season has arrived at the firehouse and everyone is feeling jolly, except for Eddie. In order to get good year-end reviews, Lucy (Hassie Harrison, The Iron Orchard), Andy (Eugene Cordero, STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS), Ike (Gabriel Hogan, MURDER, SHE BAKED series), and Granny (Marcus Henderson, Get Out) try their hardest to get him in the Christmas spirit. Meanwhile, Chief (Kevin Heffernan, Super Troopers) has a special gift for him that just might do the trick.

CTV Drama Channel continues to celebrate the festive season with the movie premiere of CHRISTMAS UNWRAPPED on Friday, Dec. 4 at 8 p.m. ET. Charity Jones (Amber Stevens West, 22 Jump Street), an ambitious and pragmatic reporter, learns the true meaning of Christmas when she investigates Erik Gallagher (Marco Grazzini, KIM’S CONVENIENCE), a millionaire who insists that all the gifts that arrive on Christmas every year are from none-other than Santa himself.

CTV Life Channel: Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and his childhood friend Jimmy Doherty help Welsh actor Taron Edgerton (Rocketman) cook Christmas dinner for the first time in the debut of JAMIE & JIMMY’S FESTIVE FEAST on Monday, Nov. 30 at 8 p.m. ET. Leading up to the premiere, viewers can raise their festive food game with fan-favourite Oliver specials, including JAMIE’S ITALIAN CHRISTMAS (5 p.m. ET), JAMIE’S QUICK & EASY CHRISTMAS (6 p.m. ET), and JAMIE’S EASY CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN (7 p.m. ET).

CTV Sci-Fi Channel’s PANDORA continues with an all-new episode on Sunday, Dec. 6 at 9 p.m. ET. As the Galaxy sits on the brink of war, Jax (Priscilla Quintana, Traffik) and the team must unite all the races of the Galaxy in the hopes of preventing their destruction. Meanwhile, Osborn (Noah Huntley, 28 Days Later) grapples with the ghosts of his past.

CTV Movies: The drama series THE ART OF MORE joins CTV Movies on Thursday, Dec. 3. This high-stakes drama set against the New York auction scene exposes the dark underbelly of art fraud and global terrorism, behind the glamorous façade of high-priced collectibles. Graham Conner (Christian Cooke, LOVE, ROSIE), a former soldier turned auction house executive, leads a dangerous double life as he juggles the wealthy and their eccentricities, including real estate shark Samuel Brekner (Dennis Quaid, The Parent Trap), using his secret past to beat the auction world elite at their own game.

CTV.ca/CTV App Exclusives: The classic holiday film IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE is streaming on CTV’s Holiday Hub, available on CTV.ca and the CTV app with no subscription or sign-in required. After George Bailey (James Stewart) wishes he had never been born, an angel (Henry Travers) is sent to earth to make Bailey’s wish come true. Bailey then realizes how many lives he has changed and impacted, and how they would be different if he was never there.
