Canada's CTV Orders New Crime Drama, Motive

In news from our neighbor to the north, CTV announced today that it has ordered a procedural crime drama with the working title of Motive.

Each of the thirteen episodes opens not only revealing the victim of a murder but also the identity of the killer. A Vancouver homicide detective then begins to piece together clues to solve the crime. As the mystery unfolds, the viewer navigates the twisted and complicated maze of each murder and solves the puzzle alongside the detective and her team.

Motive is expected to premiere later this year. And with the increasing number of series that cross the border in each direction every year, it wouldn't be surprising for those of us in the US to see it sometime next year.
