Based on award-winning director Luc Besson’s Transporter film franchise, TRANSPORTER – THE SERIES is a France/Canada international co-production produced by Atlantique Productions and QVF Inc. in association with broadcast partners The Movie Network, Movie Central, and Super Écran in Canada, and M6 in France.

Filmed in Morocco, the Czech Republic and Toronto, TRANSPORTER – THE SERIES second season follows Frank Martin (Chris Vance, PRISON BREAK, DEXTER) around the world as he delves deep into danger and mystery to deliver a diverse range of packages, from pop princesses to priceless paintings.

In the season opener, Frank must protect and safely deliver a 12-year-old boy to a Rome courthouse to testify against his father’s killer.

Directors for Season 2 include Canadians Erik Canuel (19-2, FLASHPOINT, Bon Cop, Bad Cop) and Stefan Pleszczynski (MOTIVE, BEING HUMAN, FLASHPOINT).

  1. Now that Season 2 is about to start on HBO Canada, I’m hoping S1 of this series will show up on a more accessible channel like Showcase or Bravo (or even Netflix Canada), because I’d definitely like to check it out.

  2. It doesn’t look too promising for much more accessible. I cut this part out because it was after all the blah blah blah about execs in charge:

    Subscribers can binge watch Season 1 of TRANSPORTER – THE SERIES now on TMN GO and The Movie Network OnDemand in Eastern Canada, and Shaw Go Movie Central app, Bell TV app,Telus Optik on the go and Movie Central On Demand in Western Canada.
