Blue Ant Studios has unveiled its bolstered slate of Canadian programming ahead of Prime Time in Ottawa next week.

The studio and rights business has touted an additional 85 hours of programming from Canadian producers.

Among the new titles in its roster is CBC docuseries Push (17 x 30 minutes; pictured), produced by Alberta’s Fenix Film & Television and Vancouver’s Small Army Entertainment. The studio has acquired the first two seasons of the show, which follows the tight-knit group, the Wheelie Peeps, who bonded over their shared experience as wheelchair users.

Blue Ant also recently picked up Small Army Entertainment’s History’s Most Haunted (6 x 60 minutes), which debuted as part of its MIPCOM slate last October.

Two additional new series are Holmes On Homes: Building A Legacy (6 x 60 minutes; The Holmes Group), which sees home reno guru Mike Holmes go back to his “makes it right” roots by fixing home renos gone wrong, alongside his son and daughter; and Wild Rose Vets (13 x 30 minutes; Thunderbird Entertainment, Wapanatahk Media), a follow-up to the series Dr. Savannah: Wild Rose Vet, which follows the work of three Indigenous veterinarians in the prairies.

Rounding out the new titles is the cheeky 60-minute documentary Butt Seriously from 90th Parallel Productions, which tackles how that particular part of the human body has been historically neglected by science.

Blue Ant has also acquired additional seasons of a number of titles, including seasons three and four of Hell Below (12 x 60 minutes) and seasons three to five of Hitler’s Last Stand (18 x 60 minutes), both produced by Vancouver’s Parallax Films; season four of Lakefront Luxury (20 x 30 minutes; Nikki Ray Media Agency); season four of Flat Out Food (6 x 30 minutes; Halter Media), season two of Bollywed (10 x 30 minutes; Heart Hat Entertainment), and season five of Haunted Hospitals (8 x 60 minutes; Sphere Media).
