TORONTO, Sept. 3, 2020 /CNW/ - Following a successful first season run, hit CTV Original Comedy series JANN returns for its second season Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CTV and everywhere CTV content can be found beginning Sept. 21. Featuring co-creator and star Jann Arden, Season 2 consists of eight half-hour episodes – up from its six-episode first season –with special guest star Sarah McLachlan appearing in the premiere episode.

Set and filmed in Calgary, Season 1 of the critically acclaimed comedy is the most-watched new Canadian comedy series of the 2018-19 broadcast season, and garnered three Canadian Screen Awards nominations, including Best Comedy Series and Best Lead Actress, Comedy for Arden, and won Best Comedy Series at the 2020 WGC Screenwriting Awards. 

"Viewers have been waiting, and we're delighted to return JANN to the schedule to anchor CTV Mondays and kick off our fall schedule," said Mike Cosentino, President, Content and Programming, Bell Media. "Jann and her team have delivered another must-see season, filled with guest stars and surprises that we can't wait to unveil."

"Jann's" hilarious attention-drawing antics continue as the second season picks up immediately following last season's cliffhanger finale, where viewers were left wondering: would Jann embark on a tour, or stay behind to help her mother Nora (Deborah Grover), who's showing early signs of memory loss, and sister Max (Zoie Palmer), who was put on bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy?

This season, Jann sets out to win her family and ex-girlfriend Cynthia (Sharon Taylor) back, as tensions arise between Jann and her new manager Cale (Elena Juatco), who lines up music gigs that are outside of Jann's comfort zone. Throughout the season, Jann also faces a number of musical rivals, both old and new.
