And the shopping spree continues... Nexstar has bought Bell Media original series The Spencer Sisters (Entertainment One) and Sullivan's Crossing (Fremantle Canada), CBC comedies Son Of A Critch (from Lionsgate and Schitt's Creek EP Andrew Barnsley, who has a close relationship with Brad Schwartz), Run the Burbs (Pier 21 Films) and Moonshine (from eOne and Lucifer creator Sheri Elwood), and the AMC Original 61st Street; the first season will re-air on the network this fall and a new season (still co-produced by AMC and BBC Studios America) will debut next year. The channel has also scheduled the return of Global drama Family Law and Stan Original comedy Bump. These new and returning series will debut during the coming months.
