The upcoming third season of the Kristin Kreuk (Smallville)-led legal drama Burden of Truth sees her character Joanna Chang and Billy Crawford (Peter Mooney, Rookie Blue) becoming a couple and working at their new boutique law firm, Crawford Chang. But as their firm struggles financially, their relationship becomes strained as they both have one foot out the door ready to bolt and must come to terms with their fear of being vulnerable and in love. The series is produced by IFC Films and Eagle Vision Inc. with Ilana Frank, Adam Pettle, Jocelyn Hamilton, Linda Pope and Kreuk all executive producing.

The adrenaline-fueled police drama Bulletproof returns for a second season that sees undercover cops Bishop and Pike dragged into their most dangerous case yet as they find themselves wrapped up in a cat and mouse game with a crime family with connections beyond the borders of London and the UK. Their drive for justice will take them from London to Amsterdam to Cyprus, risking everything including their jobs to bring the criminals down. The drama is produced by Vertigo Films in association with Unstoppable Film and Television with Allan Niblo, Nick Love, Noel Clarke and Ashley Walters executive producing.

Penn & Teller: Fool Us is a competition series hosted by the iconic titular magicians and Buffy the Vampire Slayer vet Alyson Hannigan as aspiring magicians are invited to perform their best acts to try and fool Penn & Teller, with those succeeding getting to perform alongside the duo in their long-running show at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The reality drama is created and executive produced by the titular duo alongside Peter Adam Golden and Andrew Golder in association with 1/17 Productions and September Films.
