Emerald City Monday, May 22 at 8 p.m. ET/PT (Series premiere)
Swept up into the eye of a tornado, 20-year-old Dorothy Gale (Adria Arjona) is transported to another world – a mystical land where an all-powerful ruler (Vincent D’Onofrio) governs over one kingdom, has outlawed magic, and faces not only the wrath of a growing cauldron of witches but a looming disaster brought on by a mythical force. Epic, romantic, and fantastical, Emerald City is an empowering tale of a young woman finding her true strength and identity even as she battles to bring a divided world together.

Private EyesThursday, May 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT (Season 2 premiere)
Ex-pro hockey player Matt Shade (Jason Priestley) irrevocably changed his life when he decided to team up with fierce PI Angie Everett (Cindy Sampson) to form an unlikely investigative powerhouse. Now, this dynamic duo has found their rhythm both on and off the case. They still view the world through different lenses, but have learned to use each other’s strengths to their mutual advantage…mostly. With their new equal partnership comes a booming business, and they opt to hire an assistant in the form of quirky Zoe Chow (Samantha Wan). Zoe also acts as a buffer and translator when Shade and Angie fall into their old habits. With new cases come new faces, each with their own indelible story and effect on Shade and Angie. Private Eyes is produced by Entertainment One (eOne) in association with Corus Entertainment, with the participation of the Canada Media Fund, the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit, the Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit and COGECO Program Development Fund.

The Wall Monday, May 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT (Series premiere)
Hosted by comedian Chris Hardwick and from executive producer and NBA superstar LeBron James comes The Wall, a heart-stopping game with more than $12 million on the line every night – and up to $3 million on a single drop. The rules are simple, get a question correct and a green ball falls down the wall and adds the value of the slot that the ball falls into to the players’ winning total. Miss a question and an ominous red ball falls and deducts the value from the team’s total. Teammates have to work together to build a huge cash prize. At four-stories high and with tremendous cash prizes at stake, “The Wall” was built for one purpose – to change peoples’ lives.

Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge Monday, June 12 at 10 p.m. ET/PT (Season 2 premiere)

The Night Shift Thursday, June 22 at 10 p.m. ET/PT (Season 4 premiere)
