GLOBAL GREENLIGHTS SEASON 3 OF ORIGINAL SCRIPTED SERIES FAMILY LAW

The verdict is in. Corus Entertainment Inc.'s Global has noted that season 3 of hit Canadian legal drama Family Law has been green-lit for an all-new 10-episode season. Produced by Seven24 Films and Lark Productions, and created by Canadian award-winning author Susin Nielsen, Season 3 is set to begin filming in Vancouver on May 24. The principal cast including Jewel Staite , Victor Garber , Zach Smadu , Genelle Williams and Lauren Holly all return for the new season. This renewal comes ahead of the show's Season 2 premiere, which will be announced at a later date.

"As the most-watched new Canadian series this past fall and with the recent acquisition by The CW in the U.S., we are thrilled that Abby and the Svensson family will keep entertaining audiences at home and abroad for seasons to come," said Lisa Godfrey, Senior Vice President of Original Content and Corus Studios. "With this renewal today, we continue to build Corus' commitment to creating original Canadian content and compelling storytelling that reflects the lives and interests of Canadians as well as audiences around the world."

Family Law is a witty, heartfelt look at the trials and tribulations of an imperfect family. The one-hour legal drama follows Abigail 'Abby' Bianchi (Jewel Staite) as she navigates her new life with her family including Abby's father Harry Svensson (Victor Garber), her half- brother Daniel Svensson (Zach Smadu), and half-sister Lucy Svensson (Genelle Williams). Season 3 will follow Abby and her dysfunctional family as they help other dysfunctional families - all while navigating their own personal dramas. Guest stars for the new season will be announced soon.

Lauded as "the unexpected drama worth bingeing right now," viewers can catch up on Season 1 of Family Law with STACKTV and the Global TV App.
