EDMONTON – Super Channel has picked up the political dramedy series Graves from Lionsgate Television.
Produced by Lionsgate, the single-camera political satire follows former two-term Republican President Richard Graves (Nick Nolte, A Walk In The Woods) as he embarks on a Don Quixote-like quest to right the wrongs of his administration and reclaim his legacy 25 years after leaving the White House. His enlightenment takes place as his wife Margaret (Sela Ward, Gone Girl), decides to pursue her own political ambitions.
The ten-episode half-hour series will make its Canadian broadcast premiere on August 15 at 9:00 PM ET (SC1), and each episode will also be available to viewers on Super Channel On Demand the day following its weekly linear broadcast.
“Graves is a witty and timely dramedy that is sure to resonate with premium pay-television viewers,” said Super Channel's director of programming, international distributors and Canadian pre-sales, Melissa Kajpust, in the news release. “Featuring an exceptional cast, it is a clever and intelligent political satire that we think our viewers will find both funny and moving.”
