Global is leading its winter schedule with the debut of two highly anticipated new Canadian shows, the new six-part series Bomb Girls and The Firm.

Premiering Wednesday, Jan. 4 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, Bomb Girls follows the lives of Canadian women working in munitions factories during WWII.

The premiere of Bomb Girls (pictured) will be followed that week by the premiere of The Firm on Sunday, Jan. 8 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, in simulcast on Global and NBC. Subsequent episodes of the series will air on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

In additional Canadian (talent) news, Global will also be premiering Kiefer Sutherland’s new series, which marks the Canadian actor’s return to network television following the end of 24 two years ago. Touch, which follows the relationship between a father and his mute 11-year-old son, will debut with a “sneak preview” on Wednesday, Jan 25 at 9 p.m. and then return on Monday, March 19 for a full-series run in the 9 p.m. ET/PT timeslot.
