BRAVO'S ACCLAIMED ORIGINAL DRAMA 19-2 RETURNS WITH EMOTIONALLY-CHARGED EPISODE, JANUARY 19

Season 2 of BCE Inc.'s Bravo's gripping original drama 19-2 premieres Monday, Jan. 19, at 10 p.m. Eastern Time. In the stirring season 2 premiere "School," the entire squad is embroiled in an intensely tragic school shooting with consequences that will profoundly impact all of their lives. The episode has been recreated for English audiences by renowned director Podz, who directed the same episode of the original French-Canadian version of 19-2 to critical acclaim. The tragic events that unfold in the premiere episode set the stage for season 2's overarching themes of introspection, trust and loyalty.

Season 1 of 19-2 was Bravo's No. 1 original series, drawing an average of nearly 200,000 viewers per episode. Throughout its entire run, the series attracted 3.4 million unique viewers. For viewers looking to catch up on 19-2, Bravo is marathoning season 1 of 19-2 in its entirety, beginning Sunday, Jan. 4, at 11 a.m. ET. All episodes from season 1 are also immediately available on demand on CraveTV.

"19-2's first season showcased the quiet intensity of this series, with carefully crafted characters and dramatic storylines that resonated with viewers," said Tracey Pearce, senior vice-president, specialty and pay, Bell Media. "Season 2, including the emotional season premiere, raises the bar on this compelling drama, and we are confident it will continue to recruit fans."

Picking up where season 1 left off, season 2 sees Ben under pressure from the Securite du Quebec (SQ) to uncover the identity of a mole at Station 19. Ben begins to secretly investigate his own squad, further complicating both his partnership with Nick, and their burgeoning friendship. As previously announced, season 2 introduces two new characters: Cassius Clement, or Kaz (Richard Chevolleau, Saving Hope), Nick's charming, career-criminal cousin; and Rita (Lisa Berry, Nikita), Kaz's girlfriend.

19-2 also sees the return of Nick's ex-wife, Isabelle Latendresse (Maxim Roy, Heartland); Nick's former lover, officer Audrey Pouliot (Laurence Lebeouf, Durham County); angry beat cop and Nick's antagonist, J.M. Brouillard (Dan Petronijevic, Saving Hope); officer Tyler Joseph (Benz Antoine, The Listener), the good-humoured beat cop struggling with alcohol addiction; Tyler's brazen, no-nonsense partner Beatrice Hamelin (Mylene Dinh-Robic, The Listener); straight-shooting sergeant Julien Houle (Conrad Pla, The Listener); and Marcel Gendron, the manipulative district commander (Bruce Ramsay, Continuum).

19-2 is co-produced by Sphere Media Plus and Echo Media in association with Bell Media. Executive producers are Jocelyn Deschenes and Virginia Rankin from Sphere Media Plus, and Luc Chatelain from Echo Media. Executive producer Bruce Smith (Durham County) also acts as showrunner and writer.
