The hit Canadian legal drama Burden Of Truth has been renewed for a season 4 and will start production later this summer
Joanna and her Burden of Truth are surely returning for a season 4, but the question is, are they coming on The CW or not. The third season of this hit legal drama concluded on July 9, this year.
The Canadian legal series has been renewed for a fourth season, set to premiere next year. Its parent CBC Canada has announced to produce another 8 episodes of Joanna’s fight for the hapless and will start filming later this summer in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Will it air on The CW?
There’s no official word as to whether the network has or will pick up season four of the legal drama but, it seems likely.
Burden of Truth is one of only two CW shows (All American is the other) that has seen year-to-year growth in the 2019-20 ratings.
The series has also become a staple on this small network, and likely doesn’t cost much to license, versus creating original programming.
On The CW, the third season of Burden of Truth averaged a 0.09 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 505,000 viewers in the live + same-day ratings. Compared to season two, that’s an increase by 16% in the demo and 6% in viewership.
What’s season 4 about?
The series centers on attorney Joanna Hanley (Kreuk), who walked away from her partnership at a corporate law firm in order to figure out why a mysterious illness was afflicting high school girls in her home town of Millwood, Manitoba.
In season three, Joanna and Billy Crawford (Mooney) were working together in their new boutique law firm. They soon discover that living and litigating together has its challenges.
On a cathartic trip back to Millwood for a class reunion, an old friend, Kodie (McArthur), realizes that her children are removed by Millwood Family Services. Kodie believes she is the victim of a conspiracy and pleads with Joanna to help solve the case and bring her children home, turning the latter’s life upside down.
Created by Brad Simpson, Burden of Truth debuted in 2018 and stars Kristin Kreuk, Peter Mooney, Star Slade, Meegwun Fairbrother, Anwen O’Driscoll, Sera-Lys McArthur, Dayle McLeod, and Paul Braunstein among others.
