Super Channel Picks Up Graves

Super Channel has licensed the political dramedy Graves from Lionsgate Television.

The single-camera political satire stars Nick Nolte (A Walk in the Woods) as former two-term Republican President Richard Graves, who 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. Sela Ward (Gone Girl) stars as his wife Margaret, who decides to pursue her own political ambitions.

Graves is slated to make its Canadian broadcast premiere on August 15 at 9 p.m. Episodes will also be available on Super Channel On Demand the day after the weekly linear broadcast.

“Graves is a witty and timely dramedy that is sure to resonate with premium pay-television viewers,” said Melissa Kajpust, the director of programming, international distributors and Canadian presales for Super Channel. “Featuring an exceptional cast, it is a clever and intelligent political satire that we think our viewers will find both funny and moving.”
