TORONTO – CTV has begun production on a new lifestyle series starring Masterchef Canada season 3 winner Mary Berg as she shares her delicious twists on home-cooked classics inspired by her family and friends.
Mary's Kitchen Crush, produced by Proper Television, is currently shooting in Toronto and will premiere as part of CTV's 2019 midseason schedule. Each episode will see Mary demonstrate her culinary skill and creativity with three to four original recipes – inspired by someone who has made a meaningful impact on her life. The resulting meal is like an edible love letter for family members and close friends.
The thirty-episode, half-hour series will air on CTV, Gusto, and ultimately stream on demand from the new CTV Super Hub, as part of the new lifestyle brand, CTV Life. CTV added that the series is currently available for customized brand partnership opportunities.
“Mary’s Kitchen Crush is the latest example of our strategy to double down on the lifestyle category, creating new, sponsor-friendly programming that will drive linear ratings and digital demand,” said Mike Cosentino, Bell Media's content and programming president, in the news release.
