The CBC has unveiled its mid-season lineup, with three new series joining the schedule beginning this January.

First up is the pubcaster’s take on the UK show Four Rooms, which has Canadians trying to sell their prized possessions for the most amount of money by going through a set of buyers to see who will offer them the most for their wares. The show launches on Sunday Jan. 5 at 8 p.m.

The Best Laid Plans, a new six-part miniseries starts on Sunday Jan. 5 at 9 p.m. and moves to Mondays at 9 p.m. on Jan. 6. The political satire is based on Terry Fallis’ award-winning novel about the world of international politics.

Also new to the CBC this winter is Recipe to Riches, which kicks off on Feb. 26 at 9 p.m. The show, which aired its first two seasons with Shaw Media, gives Canadians the chance for their recipe to become a President’s Choice product and win $250,000.

Arctic Air returns for its third season on the CBC, launching Tuesday Jan. 7 at 9 p.m., Mr. D is back on the pubcaster starting on Monday Feb. 24 at 9 p.m. and The Ron James Show starts its fifth season immediately following the school-set comedy at 9:30 p.m.
