SUNDAYS
MY BIG FAT OBNOXIOUS FIANCÉ (Series Premiere)

In this unscripted series hosted by Claudia DiFolco, a 23-year-old first grade teacher and “bride-to-be” introduces her less-than-desirable “fiancé” to family and friends when she announces her surprise nuptials in the series premiere. Over six episodes leading up to the walk down the aisle, the “husband-to-be” will test the tolerance of family and friends with his shocking and appalling behaviour at the requisite engagement party, the wedding planner visits, the bridal shower, and the rehearsal dinner. The “bride” must make it all the way through the wedding ceremony and final vows in order to win $1 million (US).
The following new shows will join the schedule later in the Fall:
THE INSIDER
Based on the insider segment from the popular newsmagazine show Entertainment Tonight, this half-hour show gives viewers a unique perspective into the world of celebrity by using first-person interviews and behind-closed-door reports from knowledgeable and informed sources.
WHOSE DESIGN IS IT ANYWAY?
Host and designer Jason Cass goes head to head with homeowners with an eye for style, to redesign an area in their home in a bid to have the winning design. They each work with the same budget but the homeowner has the added bonus of a team of craftsmen. The winning design will be selected by family, partners and spouses of our homeowner and a renowned home décor expert.
The following programs in the PRIME Signature Series will be back for their second season later in the fall:
PAST LIVES
A second season of this highly rated documentary series invites viewers to follow engaging Canadians who are passionately in search of their roots.
