FRESHLY CONFIRMED. Read the Playback story here.
Across the River to Motor City will face Global's Shark and CTV's Big Shots when it goes to air this fall, stepping into the Thursday 10 p.m. slot on most Citytv stations in late November.
The six-parter by Devine Entertainment and Jonsworth Productions will bow on the Citys in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver on Nov. 22. That date is also the 44th anniversary of the JFK assassination, which seemingly has something to do with -- although producers have been coy on this point -- the murder mystery at the heart of the series, which is set half in the present day, half in 1963.
Winnipeg will be the first to see the series. The City station there will debut Motor City on Nov. 19, at 10 p.m. CT.
The series was co-created by Robert Wertheimer (Charlie Jade, Bollywood/Hollywood) of Jonsworth and the very busy Denis McGrath (Blood Ties, The Border). Wertheimer was also showrunner, cowriter and exec producer, working with execs David Devine and Richard Mozer. Michael DeCarlo directed with David Greene as DOP.
Nov 22 preem date = way cool.
More later -- the "very busy Denis McGrath" has to run off to a read through.

I'm ashamed to admit that I just paid enough attention to the title of this show a couple days ago to figure out what it meant. I'd be less ashamed, but I was born in Detroit. *facepalm*
Sounds like a very intriguing premise indeed. I think I'll have to beg a favor from a Canadian bud...
