Bell Media’s 2025/26 programming slate includes fresh shows starring Elliot Page and Tom Green, highlighting the company’s commitment to diverse and engaging content. “Slo Pitch,” a comedy about a determined queer softball team aiming for beer league championships, will debut on Crave and CTV as the first project from the co-development deal between Pageboy Productions and Bell Media.
Tom Green’s “Funny Farm,” a Crave Original interview series, features the Ottawa-born comedian hosting guests at his rural Ontario property, marking the first title from Bell Media’s co-development agreement with Green.
CTV will air “Match Game,” a revival of the classic American game show hosted by Martin Short, with filming scheduled in Montreal this summer. Another notable addition to Crave is “Heated Rivalry,” a six-episode series inspired by Nova Scotia author Rachel Reid’s bestselling gay hockey romance novel.
Additionally, Crave will premiere a new series by “Letterkenny” creator Jared Keeso, beginning production in the fall with a 2026 release planned. However, Bell Media announced that Sasha Leigh Henry’s limited drug-trafficking drama “Bad Trips” will not proceed due to international financing issues. Henry’s Canadian Screen Award-winning comedy “Bria Mack Gets a Life” was also canceled after one season last year.
Returning Crave series include “Late Bloomer,” “Super Team Canada,” “The Trades,” and “The Office Movers.” On CTV, fan favorites “Sullivan’s Crossing,” “The Traitors Canada,” and “The Amazing Race Canada” are set to return.
