TORONTO – Principal photography of original limited event series Bad Blood has wrapped and the series will make its world-wide debut on City and FX this fall, followed by a Radio-Canada broadcast in French, Rogers Media said.
Inspired by true events, the six-part, 60-minute scripted series follows the life and death of notorious underworld figure Vito Rizzuto. Based on the best-selling book ‘Business or Blood: Mafia Boss Vito Rizzuto's Last War’, Bad Blood is a story of family, loyalty, deceit, power, greed and ultimately revenge.
The series stars Anthony LaPaglia (Without a Trace) as Montreal crime boss Vito Rizzuto, Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy) as Vito’s right-hand man Declan Gardiner, Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas) as family patriarch Nico Rizzuto Sr., and Enrico Colantoni (Flashpoint) as Bruno Bonsignori. Directed by Alain DesRochers (Bon Cop Bad Cop 2, Nitro), production began in Montreal and wrapped in Sudbury, ON this past December.
Bad Blood was produced by New Metric Media and Sphère Média Plus in association with DHX Worldwide. It is distributed internationally by Sky Vision.
