Canadian Press reports that the CBC will put British drama Hustle in the prime-time slot formerly occupied by Intelligence, which received high praise from critics but has not yet been renewed for a second season.
“Hustle” has drawn an even more daunting assignment. It is up against the hottest U.S. import on Global’s prime time schedule: “House.” “Intelligence,” the Vancouver-based crime drama starring Ian Tracey (“Da Vinci’s Inquest”), which concluded its rookie run last week, got hammered by “House” all season. It routinely sank toward the 200,000 viewer mark, about a tenth the “House” audience.
Hustle was tested last summer on CBC and currently runs in the U.S. on the specialty-movie channel AMC.
Update: This post corrects an error suggesting that Hustle is an American program. Canadian Post still has not made the correction in their article.
