SUDBURY – Production has begun in Sudbury on the all-new Letterkenny spin-off Shoresy, Bell Media’s Crave announced today.
Shoresy is a six-episode, half-hour hockey comedy created and written by Jared Keeso, who also stars in the series. It “sees the foul-mouthed, chirp-serving, mother-loving fan favourite character, Shoresy (above), join a senior AAA hockey team in Sudbury on a quest to never, ever lose again,” a press release says.
The series is produced by New Metric Media in partnership with WildBrain and Playfun Games in association with Bell Media with participation from the Canadian Media Fund, OMDC Tax Credits, and the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit and the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund. Wildbrain is the distributor.
Jacob Tierney is executive producer and director and Kaniehtiio Horn is consulting producer. For New Metric Media, the company’s president Mark Montefiore is executive producer and Kara Haflidson is producer.
“Bawdy but brilliant, there’s at least 69 reasons why Shoresy will score with fans,” said Justin Stockman, vice-president of content development and programming at Bell Media, in the press release. “As Crave’s first original series continues to gain devotees all over the world, we’re so excited to head into another era in the expanding Letterkenny universe.”
“We’re delighted to be teaming up again with our partners Bell Media,” said Montefiore. “Letterkenny has amassed an incredible following of highly engaged fans and we’re thrilled to embark on what is sure to be another obscenely funny series in Shoresy.”
Season one will stream exclusively on Crave next spring in English and French.
