CALGARY – Canadian singer, songwriter, broadcaster, and author Jann Arden will be the star of the new CTV original comedy series known as Jann.
Arden (pictured) will play a fictionalized version of herself in the six-episode series that will follow “Jann’s” quest for renewed fame in the wake of a waning career, while also dealing with the obligations and pressures of her real life.
Produced by Project 10 (Spun Out, Spirit Unforgettable), and Seven24 Films (Wynonna Earp, Heartland), Jann shoots in Calgary until October 4 and is scheduled to premiere as part of CTV’s 2018/19 schedule.
“Jann has a natural comedic brilliance and magnetic personality, and her fictional alter-ego is a highly relatable, lovable, flawed and emotionally messy character that audiences will love,” said Bell Mediaa’s SVP of original programming Corrie Coe, in the news release. “We are delighted to welcome Jann to CTV, and I can’t think of anyone better to play a fictionalized Jann than Jann Arden!”
