Canada’s CTV is renewing the scripted police drama Motive for a third season.

The procedural got the greenlight ahead of the second season finale on May 29.

Motive, which was also picked up by ABC, will return to production this fall in Vancouver.

The second season of the Lauren Holly and Kristin Lehman-starrer has averaged 1.3 million viewers for CTV, and grew its audience in the key 18-49 and 24-54 demos during the current run, Bell Media reported Wednesday.
