TORONTO – CBC and Comedy Central in the U.S. have commissioned new comedy series from Trailer Park Boys creator Mike Clattenburg.
Crawford will center around a young man who, after a run of bad luck, moves back in with his parents and turns his natural ability to relate to raccoons into a successful business, all while navigating life with his eccentric family.
The 13×30 series is produced by Halifax-based Rabbit Square Productions, Laura Michalchyshyn and Mike Clattenburg’s company. Michalchyshyn is executive producer and recording artist Mike O’Neill is the series’ co-creator. Production will begin in Toronto in 2017.
“This fresh and unique comedy is a perfect fit for CBC's premium, character-driven comedy slate," said CBC Television programming GM Sally Catto, in the news release. "We are excited to partner with the Rabbit Square team and Comedy Central to bring Mike Clattenburg's raccoon whisperer to television audiences."
Content Media will handle international distribution for the series.
