Cancon will make a splash on the CW Network, as the U.S. channel unveils a slew of homegrown titles for its summer lineup.

The comedy Run the Burbs (Pier 21 Films) and dramedy Moonshine (Six Eleven Media, Entertainment One), which both air on CBC, have been acquired by the CW Network for its summer broadcast lineup.

The CW Network has also acquired CTV crime procedural The Spencer Sisters, according to a news release from prodco eOne. The series, created by Alan McCullough, follows a novelist and her private detective daughter as they take on a variety of cases.

The summer schedule includes previously announced acquisitions: season two of Global’s legal drama Family Law (Lark Productions, SEVEN24 Films), family comedy Son of a Critch (Project 10 Productions, Take the Shot Productions), and season four of food competition series Great Chocolate Showdown (Nikki Ray Media Agency).

Run the Burbs is co-created by star Andrew Phung and Scott Townend, who both serve as executive producers. The series follows a Vietnamese-South Asian family as they navigate life in the Canadian suburbs, and is distributed by Fifth Season.

The series, which will make its U.S. debut in late summer, was renewed by CBC for a third season in March. As announced earlier this week, writers Jennica Harper and Nelu Handa will serve as co-showrunners on season three.

Moonshine is created by showrunner and executive producer Sheri Elwood. The Nova Scotia-shot series follows the Finley-Cullen family as they fight over the ownership of a run-down coastal resort. Stars include Jennifer Finnigan, Anastasia Phillips and Emma Hunter.

Season two of Moonshine aired on CBC in fall 2022, and the series was renewed for a third season last August. International distribution is handled by eOne.

The CW Network has made a raft of Canadian acquisitions in the last few weeks, beginning with the U.S. debut of CTV drama Sullivan’s Crossing for its fall broadcast lineup.
