MONTREAL — Bell Media announced today the new original comedy series Complètement Lycée (Totally High School) is now available to watch on Noovo.ca.
Consisting of eight 12-minute episodes, the series stars Rosalie Vaillancourt (above, second from right), Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais (centre) and Katherine Levac (second from left). Also appearing in this parody comedy are Patrick Emmanuel Abellard (right), Vincent Kim (left), Antoine Pilon, Bernard Fortin and Patrice Dubois.
The series was shot entirely in English and then dubbed into international French, explains a Bell Media press release.
Complètement Lycée is directed by Alec Pronovost, whose previous work includes Le Killing (Seasons 1 and 2), Jeep Boys, Maria, and Club Soly.
“Complètement Lycée is the dumbest creation I’ve ever done and I say that in the best way possible,” says Pronovost, in an English translation of Bell Media’s French-language press release.
“It’s a straightforward parody in the vein of L’agent fait la farce (The Naked Gun) and the Films de Peur (Scary Movies). It’s a pastiche of teenage shows and movies created with a lot of love. I admit, I have listened to seasons of Les Frères Scott (One Tree Hill)!”
Complètement Lycée is produced by Productions ToRoS in collaboration with Bell Media and with the financial participation of the Bell Fund.
