With liberal doses of humor, it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.

  • NCIS: New Orleans: a drama about the local field office that investigates criminal cases involving military personnel in The Big Easy, a city known for its music, entertainment, and decadence. Leading the team is Special Agent Dwayne Pride, a.k.a. "King," a native of New Orleans who is driven by his need to do what is right. Working with Pride is his longtime friend and colleague Special Agent Christopher Lasalle, who plays hard but works harder; tough and acerbic Special Agent Tammy Gregorio, a former FBI Agent who was sent to New Orleans to investigate NCIS and upon completion joined Pride's team, Forensic Agent Sebastian Lund, a brilliant scientist who left the lab and, after much training, became an agent; and Special Agent Hannah Khoury, a seasoned agent who specializes in international counter-intelligence and has spent most of her career on overseas assignments.

  • Hawaii Five-0: Hawaii Five-0 is a contemporary take on the classic series about an elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the islands' sun-drenched beaches. Detective Steve McGarrett, a decorated Naval officer turned cop, returned to Oahu after Hawaii's former governor persuaded him to head up the new team: his rules, no red tape and full blanket authority to hunt down the biggest "game" in town.

  • Hawaii Five-0 Classic: Detective Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) heads up Hawaii Five-O, a special division of the state police tasked with bringing down organized crime on the islands. The Five-O team works with local police from time to time on individual cases, and McGarrett's nemesis is crime kingpin Wo Fat. The show, which ran for 12 seasons during its original run, is famous for its catchphrase "Book 'em, Danno," said by McGarrett at the end of most episodes. The show's theme song, composed by Morton Stevens, became popular during the show's original run..

  • The Love Boat: "The Loooooove Boat" is the familiar refrain that greets viewers at the start of each episode of this long-running series. The romantic-sounding Love Boat promises — and delivers — something for everyone. Specifically, it promises a cavalcade of famous guest stars (including many film stars making rare TV appearances), breezy plots, stories of love and plenty of laughs. Join the members of the Pacific Princess crew, headed by Capt. Stubing (Gavin MacLeod), as they greet passengers for the trip of a lifetime. Three made-for-TV movies were made before the series premiered in 1977.

  • Judge Judy: Punchy reality show about a female judge that has made a real impact on the American justice system. Judge Judy is real, honest and keen to get to the bottom of emotional cases


Additionally, viewers will have access to a selection of Canadian series and shows from Corus' portfolio, including:

  • Love It or List It: When a house no longer feels like home, homeowners are left with a big financial and emotional question: renovate or sell it? In each hour-long episode realtor David Visentin and designer Hilary Farr compete for the homeowners' final decision to stay or go.

  • Chopped Canada: In this high stakes culinary competition show, four chefs compete before a panel of expert judges. Armed with skill and ingenuity, chefs race against the clock to turn mystery ingredients into an extraordinary three-course meal or risk being chopped. Competing for a chance to win $10,000, who will survive the chopping block?

  • Border Security: Follow Canadian border services officers as they intercept suspicious characters and contraband from around the world in an effort to keep us safe.

At launch, Corus will be the ad representative to what is positioned to become one of the largest free premium ad-supported streaming services in the country. In addition, Pluto TV will offer a curated slate of Corus Original library series that span a variety of genres.

Esteemed pastry chefs Bruno Feldeisen and Kyla Kennaley will return to the judges’ table to sample the bakers’ delicious creations. 

Based on the beloved British format, each episode will feature the bakers competing in three challenges – the Signature Bake, the Technical Bake, and the Show Stopper – during which they will rely on their personal interests and backgrounds to ensure that their delectable dishes stand out. Once their dishes have been tasted and critiqued, the judges will decide who will be the week’s Star Baker and who will be sent home. In the final episode, the remaining three bakers will face off for the title of Canada’s best amateur baker.

This season, audiences will get acquainted with the show’s most creative batch of bakers yet. Meet the 10 competitors who are hoping to make their dreams crumb true:

Fans wanting to satisfy their sweet tooth can catch up on seasons one through five on CBC Gem leading up to the season six premiere.
