New shows from Shonda Rhimes, Marcia Gay Harden, Don Johnson head to CTV

TORONTO – Shonda Rhimes’s thriller “The Catch,” the conspiracy drama “Quantico,” and the buzzy mystery “Blindspot” are among the new shows heading to CTV.

The network revealed a sampling of some of the big U.S. acquisitions for its fall and mid-season schedules Friday, with entertainment programming president Phil King touting a strong year for dramas.

New fall series include CBS’ L.A. hospital drama “Code Black,” starring Marcia Gay Harden as a brilliant, hard-nosed residency director, and ABC’s family drama “Oil,” starring Chace Crawford as a working class guy pitted against a ruthless tycoon played by Don Johnson.

That’s in addition to ABC’s “Quantico,” about a diverse group of FBI recruits and the hunt for a terrorist mastermind, and NBC’s “Blindspot,” about an FBI agent drawn into a conspiracy when a naked amnesiac is found in Times Square covered in cryptic tattoos.

Mid-season shows will feature ABC’s “The Catch,” another female-led thriller from “How To Get Away With Murder” producer Rhimes. Here, Mireille Enos of “The Killing” plays a successful fraud investigator who’s targeted in a scam by her fiance.

That’s in addition to the Fox police procedural “Lucifer” and the CW’s “Arrow”/”The Flash” spin-off “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” with Victor Garber.

Over on CTV Two, hopes are big for NBC’s fall series “Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris,” a live variety show promising stunts, skits, musical numbers and giveaways.

CTV and CTV Two are set to outline the rest of their 2015/16 schedule on June 4 in Toronto.
