Joanna will keep fighting for the truth and the helpless in 2021. The Burden of Truth TV show has been renewed for a fourth season by CBC in Canada. There will be eight episodes once again and production will start in Winnipeg, Manitoba later this summer. Will season four air on The CW in the United States?
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. 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) are working together in their new boutique law firm. They 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), turns Joanna’s life upside down when 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.
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 up by 16% in the demo and up by 6% in viewership. The season finished airing on July 9th.
There’s no official word on if CW 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 the smallest network and likely doesn’t cost much to license, versus creating original programming.
What do you think? Do you like the Burden of Truth TV show? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for a fourth season? Do you think that The CW will air season four?
Definitely Keep it!!
Love the show

We are from Ohio, love the show watch on cw hopeful the show will remain on for a long time.very interesting
I’m excited season 4 was renewed. This is a quality, intense, intelligent show, especially Kristin Kreuk, she’s magical in presenting her cases. CW will not regret picking up the show, they had success with the other three seasons. Can’t wait to see the entire cast together again, fighting the good fight.
I have enjoyed Burden of Truth since the very first episode. I am thrilled that there will be a Season 4 and hopefully many more. I am a proud Canadian and happy this is a Canadian production filmed in Canada.
I don’t see why The CW wouldn’t air the 4th season of Burden of Truth, they have aired the other 3 and now they bought Coroner from CBC TV (Canada) as well and are also airing Tell Me a Story that is a CBS All Access show.
One of those Canadian gems that has always shined so brightly and has become an absolute must see for me.
Loved watching Burden of Truth. Hope CW runs it with In The Dark again.
Love burden of truth and I watch it on the CW. Can’t wait for season 4, keep it coming, really great show.
