Shaw acquires The Client List for Lifetime Canada channel launch

Ahead of its Aug. 27 launch, Shaw Media is unveiling its lineup for Lifetime Canada.

The latest addition is The Client List (pictured), the Jennifer Love Hewitt-starring drama to debut on September 2 at 10 p.m., right after the premiere of Drop Dead Diva at 9 p.m.

In The Client List, Hewitt stars as Riley, a single mother living in a small Texas town who works in a massage parlour to make ends meet.

The drama joins a Lifetime Canada lineup that also includes Dance Moms, Dance Mom: Miami, The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet and the original movies Liz & Dick, Ring of Fire and Steel Magnolias.

At launch, Lifetime will be available on a three-month free preview in around 10 million Canadian homes.
