help The Listener FAQ
How many seasons did The Listener run, and when did it air?
The Listener ran for five seasons on Canada's CTV, from 2009 to 2014. That makes it one of the longer-running Canadian dramas of that era, with Craig Olejnik starring as telepathic paramedic Toby Logan for the entire run.
Was The Listener available in the United States?
NBC co-aired and simulcast the first season in 2009, but the network dropped it after that due to low U.S. ratings. Subsequent seasons aired in Canada on CTV, though the show was still sold internationally to other territories.
Who plays Toby Logan, and does the telepath ever reveal his secret?
Craig Olejnik plays Toby Logan, a Toronto paramedic who secretly reads minds. Over the series he gradually confides in people around him — notably his paramedic partner Osman "Oz" Bey, played by Enis Esmer — and by later seasons works more openly as a consultant to the police's Integrated Investigative Bureau.
Is The Listener based on a comic book or another property?
No, it's an original series created by Michael Amo and produced by Shaftesbury Films, a Toronto-based production company. The concept of a telepathic first responder helping solve crimes in Toronto was developed specifically for CTV.
