Adding to CBS picking up 13 episodes of “Flashpoint” last week from CTV, NBC has picked up "The Listener" (working title), a new CTV original drama from Shaftesbury Films. "The Listener" tells the story of a young man who can read people’s thoughts, and act on them. NBC has ordered 13 episodes of the one-hour drama series, which was green-lit by CTV, Canada’s largest private broadcaster, last December. Set in Toronto, "The Listener" is currently in pre-production with shooting scheduled to begin this spring.
