TORONTO — YouTube and social media personality Jillian Danford and her family (pictured) will be featured in a six-episode series coming to CTV this summer.
Self-proclaimed as Canada’s first Black family reality TV show, Auntie Jillian centres around the Danford family in their Ajax, Ont. home, as Jillian and her husband Warren do their best to raise, entertain and inspire their children Milan and Myles.
“I am so thrilled for this show to become available on a national platform like CTV,” said Jillian Danford (a.k.a. Auntie Jillian), in the press release. “I can’t wait to introduce my family to Canadians everywhere.”
Jillian is originally from Trinidad and Warren is from Jamaica, and the couple do their best to inspire their kids by nurturing and celebrating their Caribbean roots and embracing Canadian culture. From their first camping trip, to a Generation X vs. millennial cook-off, and Warren’s first time going for a new chest hair removal technique, Auntie Jillian will keep viewers wondering what hysterical shenanigans the Danfords will encounter next.
Jillian Danford creates lifestyle vlogs about her outgoing and hilarious family for her YouTube channel (@AskAuntieJillian), which has more than 13 million views and more than 100,000 subscribers from a culturally diverse and international audience, says the news release.
Auntie Jillian will air over three weeks on Saturdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT, beginning Saturday, July 25, on CTV and everywhere CTV content can be found.
