The Listener (and new show Sniper) were both part of CTV's first venture into pilot production this past summer. It was the first time CTV had ordered pilots as part of its development of new Canadian television series. The pilot order reinforced the network's priority in delivering critically-acclaimed Canadian programming enjoyed by the biggest audiences possible.

The Listener, has a young paramedic with the power to listen to people's most intimate thoughts. Our hero soon realizes: With great power comes great responsibility. Still, he's got to admit that this telepathy can be pretty cool. He walks a dangerous line between his calling as a telepathic sleuth and his regular life as an urban twentysomething.

The Listener was created by Michael Amo (Blessed Stranger: After Flight 111) and the pilot was directed by Clement Virgo (The Wire, Poor Boys Game). The Listener is produced by Shaftesbury Films, (producers of CTV's #1 and #2 highest-rated TV movies, Eight Days to Live and In God's Country) in association with CTV. Executive producer is Emmy and Gemini award-winning Christina Jennings (ReGenesis).
