When the CBC released its fall television slate, it wasn't just a list of all the storylines that'll unspool over your TV screen as the leaves change. It was also an accidental confirmation of how red-hot the film industry in Nova Scotia is these days: Alongside long-running Can-con staples like Murdoch Mysteries and Heartland, the made-right-here series Diggstown and Moonshine were both announced to be airing new episodes come October.

CBC’s “lust, legacy and lobster” show Moonshine stays true to Nova Scotia: Five half-siblings clash in Sheri Elwood’s new south shore-based TV dramedy.

Floyd Kane's North Preston-centred Diggstown is a multiple Canadian Screen Award nominee, tracing the life of lawyer Marcie Diggs as she attempts to balance her sense of justice with a love for family. Moonshine, meanwhile, puts family disfunction under the microscope as a brood of adult half-siblings war over their late parents' ramshackle resort. Its debut season nabbed a Screen Nova Scotia award for Best Television Series earlier this year.

Fall Arts Preview: Dig into Diggstown: Floyd Kane’s Halifax and North Preston-set TV show returns for season three.

Moonshine debuts on October 2 on CBC and CBC gem, while fans can see Marcie Diggs back in action on October 12 on both platforms.
