HALIFAX: Call Me Fitz, a dark comedy, has begun production on its fourth season, which is slated to feature Michael Gross.

Starring Jason Priestley, Call Me Fitz is about a used-car salesman named Richard Fitzpatrick and his alter-ego, Larry. In the show’s new 10-episode season, Michael Gross (Family Ties) will portray Pat Childs, an eco-industrialist who is trying to put an end to the used-car industry.

Call Me Fitz is produced by Entertainment One (eOne), Amaze Film + Television and Big Motion Pictures, in collaboration with Astral’s The Movie Network and Corus Entertainment’s Movie Central. Season four is currently being filmed in studio and on location in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

"I’m thrilled to be joining this hilariously irreverent series, particularly since I’ll be given plenty of opportunities to stick it to Jason Priestley’s character," said Gross. "It’s about time someone put Fitz in his place, and about time people got to see a side of Michael Gross they don’t often get to see. Hold on to your hats, audience—you’re gonna love it!"

"Mr. Gross is a hero of the family comedy, and I relish the opportunity to turn that squeaky persona on its ass. Season four is poised to be our darkest and funniest yet, and Michael is the perfect addition to the Fitz family dysfunction," said creator and executive producer Sheri Elwood. "Get ready for more than just skeletons in the Fitz family closet. We’ll get to see how it all began."
