Bell Media’s Crave announced Monday a new one-hour talk show from Canadian comedian and filmmaker Tom Green — in which he interviews celebrities at his Ontario farm — will drop two episodes weekly starting Friday, May 29.
Produced by Tom Green Productions Canada Inc. in association with Crave, The Tom Green Farm is the first title from Bell Media’s previously announced co-development deal with Green.
“Set against the backdrop of Green’s traditional farmhouse built in 1857 on a sprawling 150-acre lot in rural Ontario, the series invites guests into an unfiltered, immersive experience where conversations unfold alongside hay bales, livestock, and farm-inspired chaos,” reads a Bell Media description of the 10-episode series.
Celebrity guests appearing on the show include Dan Aykroyd, Jay Baruchel, Ahren Belisle, Paul Bissonnette, Jason Blaine, Michael Cera, Deadmau5, Jon Dore, Erica Ehm, Tony Hawk, Kenny Hotz, Chantal Kreviazuk, Paul Langlois of The Tragically Hip, Amber Marshall, Steven Page, Priyanka, Jessie Reyez, Kevin Staab, George Stroumboulopoulos, Les Stroud, Kurt Vile, and more.
In addition to the celebrity interviews, The Tom Green Farm also offers a comedic and personal look at Green’s new life on a rural Canadian farm.
“Alongside his wife Amanda, Tom navigates the day-to-day realities of country living, caring for horses, a mule, a donkey, chickens, guinea hens, and the endless, often unpredictable challenges that come with running a farm,” Bell Media’s press release says.
“Viewers also reconnect with Tom’s beloved parents, who now hilariously turn the tables on him, reversing the dynamic from his MTV days when they were often the targets of his pranks. Over the course of the season, viewers see Tom step into a completely different chapter of life, from learning to become a confident horseman to marking major personal milestones, including his marriage.”
Bell Media also announced the new original podcast The Tom Green Farmcast will launch May 29 on iHeartRadio Canada along with bonus digital content on Crave’s YouTube channel, providing fans with a social extension of the series featuring unforgettable moments with Green and his guests.
The Tom Green Farm is written by Green and his mother, Mary Jane Green. Green directs all episodes and also serves as executive producer alongside Rory Rosegarten and Justin Stockman, Bell Media’s vice president of content development and programming. Producers are Mary Jane Green, Grace Reeves and Jay Bond. Alan Goldman serves as associate producer. The series was produced with the participation of the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit.
