Rookie spy comedy InSecurity was also picked up for a sophomore season, though fellow newbie Men With Brooms isn't on the list.
The Ceeb is keeping its recognizable personalities right where it likes 'em, with renewals of the Rick Mercer Report, George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight, The Nature of Things, the Ron James Show and Steven and Chris.
Rounding out the list of renewed series are Marketplace, the fifth estate, 22 Minutes, Best Recipes Ever, Doc Zone and Heartland.
