Disney Plus has announced two new Canadian productions: a comedy series from Bruce McCulloch and a documentary chronicling one of the country's largest manhunts. The projects underscore the streaming giant's commitment to Canadian storytelling.
Bruce McCulloch Comedy Series
The as-yet-untitled comedy will be created and executive produced by McCulloch, a veteran of The Kids in the Hall. The series is expected to blend his signature satirical style with contemporary themes. Production details and casting have not been disclosed.
Manhunt Documentary
The documentary will explore a massive manhunt that captivated Canada, featuring interviews with law enforcement and archival footage. It aims to provide an in-depth look at the investigation and its impact on the community.
These additions come as the federal government pressures the CRTC to revisit rules requiring foreign streamers to invest more in Canadian content. Disney Plus has been expanding its Canadian originals, including previous series and films.
No release dates have been announced for either project. Fans can expect more details as production progresses.
