Tricon Presents New Action Comedy

TORONTO: Tricon Films & Television has taken on the international rights for the action-comedy series InSecurity, which will make its debut on CBC Television in January 2011.

The 13-part series is about the workers at the fictional National Intelligence and Security Agency. In each episode, special agent Alex Cranston and her team of espionage misfits take on a mission vital to international security, but always manage to screw it up yet make the world a safer place. The show is created and executive produced by Virginia Thompson and Robert de Lint of Vérité Films, the production company behind Corner Gas, and Kevin White of Company Name Here Productions, who was showrunner of Corner Gas in its last two seasons.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Virginia Thompson, Robert de Lint and Kevin White—a team who have proven themselves to be one of the best in Canadian comedy domestically and internationally,” commented Andrea Gorfolova, the president of Tricon Films & Television.

"InSecurity is an action comedy about spies, a genre that’s loved around the world and as such we’re excited to hear the international feedback on the show," said Thompson, the president of Vérité Films. "We also wanted a boutique approach to the international sales of the series and Tricon was the ideal fit."
