TORONTO — CBC and NBCUniversal International Studios today announced additional casting for the new buddy-cop series Lady Dicks, which has started shooting in Ontario.
Announced earlier this year, Lady Dicks (10 episodes x 60 minutes) is produced by Cameron Pictures and stars Meredith MacNeill (Baroness von Sketch Show) and Adrienne C. Moore (Orange Is the New Black). MacNeill (pictured left) and Moore (right) play two radically different female detectives in their early 40s in this irreverent drama series.
Co-created by Tassie Cameron (Mary Kills People, Ten Days in the Valley, Rookie Blue, The Robber Bride) and Sherry White (Little Dog, Frontier, Ten Days in the Valley, Rookie Blue), Lady Dicks follows guns and gangs detective Samantha (MacNeill) and drug squad detective Kelly (Moore).
Joining the cast are Tara Strong (Teen Titans), Karen Robinson (Schitt’s Creek), Dean McDermott (Slasher), Al Mukadam (Miss Sloane), Percy Hynes White (The Gifted), Katie Douglas (Mary Kills People) and Ronnie Rowe (Star Trek: Discovery).
According to today’s news release, director David Wellington (Vikings, Orphan Black, Rookie Blue) is directing the premiere episode. (The original announcement about the series said director Holly Dale was tapped to direct the first episode.)
