What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the WGN America cable channel Bellevue stars Anna Paquin, Shawn Doyle, Allen Leech, Madison Ferguson, Billy MacLellan, Sharon Taylor, Janine Thériault, Amber Goldfarb, Vincent Leclerc, Joe Cobden, Victoria Sanchez, and Sadie O’Neil. The Canadian crime drama, which originally premiered on CBC, centers on the disappearance of a transgender teen. The disappearance of Bellevue’s high school hockey star, Jesse Sweetland (O’Neil), evokes memories for Detective Annie Ryder, whose father committed suicide, after failing to solve an all-consuming case.
In May of 2017, Bellevue was cancelled by CBC. Although WGN America no longer runs its own original series, could it come back in some form? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
CBC cancelled Bellevue well before it ever premiered on WGN America. A couple of years ago, I might have been speculating whether WGN would save the crime drama on its own. Parent company Tribune Media, however, ditched all its original programming like cancelled TV series Underground and Outsiders, to be slim, trim and primed for a merger with Sinclair. The Bellevue TV series originally premiered on CBC in 2017. By the time it made its debut on WGNA in January of 2018, the cast options would have expired. For now, Bellevue is one and done, and I suddenly know what’s for dinner. Still, I’ll keep an eye on the trades, in case it makes an unexpected comeback.
