There’s Something About Jann, the TV Show, That Canadians Love

By FYI Staff

If you want to talk Canadian culture, Jann Arden has it nailed down. Her six-episode riot of comedic self-deprecation launched in March to rave reviews and has proven itself to be a roaring success with CTV viewers right up to its denouement this evening, averaging 1.1 million viewers weekly.


Those numbers hardly stack up against the blistering success of Game of Thrones, the final season–but the medieval fantasy has a long history behind it, and came to the screen by way of a successful book series penned by George R.R. Martin.

According to data from Numeris, Arden’s critically acclaimed comedy is the most-watched new Canadian series of the year with the key A18-49 and A25-54 demos.

Set and filmed in Calgary, Jann was co-developed by Bell Media and Project 10 Productions and is produced in association with Project 10 Productions and Seven24 Films. 

Jann concludes tonight at 8:30 pm ET/PT on CTV, CTV.ca, the CTV App, and Crave.
