CBC & Radio-Canada Distribution to Launch Titles at Series Mania

CBC & Radio-Canada Distribution is set to present a pair of drama series at the Coming Next from Québec event during the Series Mania Festival and Forum.

The titles that will be introduced are Larry, written by author Stéphane Bourguignon, and the Indigenous drama Dear Flora. Mia Desroches, director of content distribution partnerships for CBC & Radio Canada Distribution, will be hosting the Coming Next from Québec showcase, which is organized by the Société de développement des entreprises culturelles (SODEC).

Larry, featuring Benoît Gouin and Macha Limonchik, centers on a disgraced former police officer who goes on a mission to catch the criminals who are responsible for leaving his wife disabled. Dear Flora tells the story of two Anishinaabe children who grew up in the 1960s in an Indian Residential School and are now trying to make peace with their painful past.

CBC & Radio-Canada Distribution will also be launching its updated catalog, which features two other new shows: Lou & Sophie (Passez Go) and The World of Gabrielle Roy (Zone 3).

Desroches said: “Series Mania and Coming Next from Québec are among the highlights of our year in distribution and a tremendous opportunity for our talents to shine on an international stage. We are extremely proud to launch two series that highlight the diversity in Francophone Canadian productions.”
