Dumas

Dumas has maintained a steady Annual rhythm for 3 years, typically returning in September. Since its debut, the series has anchored the Radio-Canada fall lineup as a high-stakes corporate drama. The production follows a rigid seasonal schedule, launching its primary broadcast cycle in mid-September and continuing through the winter months with a second half in January. This consistent programming strategy has solidified the show's position as a reliable ratings driver for the network, benefiting from the prestigious 'rentrée télé' period that captures the largest audience share in the Quebec market. As a cornerstone of the ICI TÉLÉ schedule, the series benefits from a predictable 24-episode order split into two distinct broadcast blocks. This biannual release structure—starting in the fall and returning after a brief holiday hiatus—ensures a continuous presence throughout the television year. The show's reliability is further evidenced by its immediate multi-season renewals, maintaining a strict Monday night time slot that audiences have come to expect as part of their routine seasonal viewing habits.
