I just found this on the oficial forum for The Listener on the CTV Homepage:

Season 2 would be Toby's journey to figure out his past, and also to find out who is after him," says executive producer Christina Jennings. "You have this telepath who has kept this secret his whole life, and now three other people know about him. They will go to all lengths to help him and protect him."

Jennings says she won't find out whether or not there will be a second season of The Listener until the middle of September, but has two reasons to be hopeful: decent ratings in Canada, and an worldwide distributor in Fox International.

"We've been in the Top 20 this summer on CTV, sometimes in the Top 10, with close to a million viewers, which is big in Canada," she says. "We've got our fingers crossed. We already know that Fox International wants another season because The Listener was a big hit internationally. They've already told CTV that they will be a partner on another season."

"If you let people know about you, people will tune in and watch, and then the proof is in the pudding," she says. "The frustration with The Listener was that we were up against huge competition with The Mentalist and Royal Pains; stiff competition with no promotion on a network that was No. 4.

"So, it was a foregone conclusion that we wouldn't do that well."
