Though the Carter TV show is identified as a “WGN America Original” series, it originates on CTV Drama Channel in Canada. While WGNA’s ratings may not directly impact the show’s future, solid ratings could ensure that the channel keeps licensing Carter which would, in turn, defray some of the production costs. Will Carter be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.
A crime comedy-drama series, Carter stars Jerry O’Connell, Sydney Poitier Heartsong, Kristian Bruun, Brenda Kamino, and Lyriq Bent. The series revolves around Harley Carter (O’Connell), the star of a hit detective TV show who decides he needs a break from Hollywood. Carter returns to his small hometown where he quickly discovers that his years of playing a fictional detective come in handy when he finds himself immersed in real-life mysteries. In season two, Carter puts down roots as a celebrity Private Investigator and doubles down on his fame in a world where life continues to imitate TV. Carter discovers that the toughest cases to solve are personal ones when he finds himself embroiled in a love triangle with his lifelong best friend, Detective Sam Shaw (Poitier), and her interim police chief boss, Joyce Boyle (Bent).
