2022 /CNW/ - Today, Global announced
premiere dates for a fall 2022-23 primetime season that builds on

headlines new action drama Fire Country (Oct. 7). Another OSCAR® winner
Susan Sarandon also joins
Global this fall, starring alongside country superstar
Trace Adkins and Golden Globe

music drama Monarch (Sept.

Romijn and Jerry
O'Connell, viewers set sail for love and nostalgia with
new reality romance adventure The Real Love Boat
(Oct. 5).
These new series join Global's established offering of top-rated
hits including the return of Canada's #1 drama 9-1-1
(Sept. 19), #1 series
