Adams (<em>Suits<\/em>) and Karine Vanasse (<em>Cardinal<\/em>, <em>PanAm<\/em>) are\u00a0set to star in the English remake, which is also being produced by KOTV.<\/p>\n<p>The original series is written by Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Asselin and Jacques Drolet, who are also penning the English-language version alongside Lynne Kamm. The new remake is slated to premiere in winter 2023.<\/p>\n<p>This is the third remake of <em>Plan B<\/em>, as local versions have aired in France (TF1) and Belgium (Streamz). A fourth season of the original French-Canadian version (created for S\u00e9ries+ and ICI Radio-Canada) is currently in production.<\/p>\n<p>Red Arrow Studios International holds the tape and format rights to <em>Plan B<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an anthology series, <em>Plan B<\/em> has the flexibility to be adapted into a variety of different genres\u2014from romance to crime to family drama\u2014and resonate with a wide audience in any territory,\u201d said Rodrigo Herrera Ibarguengoytia, senior scripted acquisitions and co-productions manager at Red Arrow Studios International. \u201cThe series has already proven a huge success in French-speaking Canada, so it\u2019s fantastic that CBC will now be bringing an English-language version, starring the incredibly talented Patrick J. Adams, to their audience. We see significant potential for this new version globally and believe it will have great appeal for buyers looking for a compelling, character-driven drama.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louis-Philippe Drolet, executive producer and director general of KOTV, added, \u201cWe are very proud to collaborate with Red Arrow on the distribution of our highly successful anthology <em>Plan B<\/em>. The series has garnered multiple awards and enthralled Canadian audiences. We have every confidence that Red Arrow will have as much success on the international scene, thanks in part to the English-language version we are currently producing for the CBC.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Red Arrow Studios International has acquired the global distribution rights to the new English-language remake of the anthology drama Plan B, which has been commissioned by CBC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":16952,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[564,5028,2379],"class_list":["post-16948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-cbc","tag-kotv","tag-red-arrow-studios-international","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
