Coroner
Created by Morwyn Brebner (Saving Hope, Rookie Blue) and inspired by the best-selling series of books by M. R. Hall, the character-driven CBC original drama CORONER returns for an exciting fourth season.
Dr. Jenny Cooper (Serinda Swan), fresh from recent loss but determined to start anew, tackles a myriad of new mysterious cases, while ring-leading the circus that is her life. To cope with grief, she buries her way into work but a new face in the office causes Jenny to re-examine her relationship with life and death. Jenny will move from isolation to openness this season and realize that the voices of the dead can help her to make sense of the life she is living.
CORONER stars Serinda Swan (Ballers, Marvel's Inhumans) as Dr. Jenny Cooper with Roger Cross (Dark Matter, Caught) as Donovan McAvoy; Éric Bruneau (Goalie, Blue Moon) as Liam; Ehren Kassam (Degrassi, Next Class) as Ross; Nicholas Campbell (Da Vinci's Inquest, Bad Blood) as Gordon Cooper; Tamara Podemski (Never Saw It Coming) as Alison Trent; Andy McQueen (Killjoys) as Malik Abed; and Kiley May (It Chapter Two) as River Baitz. Joining the cast this season are Mark Taylor (Flashpoint) as Clark, a crown attorney working with Jenny on a new inquest, and Uni Park (Kim’s Convenience) as Melanie, the coroner office’s new pathologist.
