Everything about The Office Movers, eh?

Crave unboxes Season 2 of The Office Movers on November 7

From a media release:

Crave announced today that its original, Canadian Screen Award-nominated comedy series, THE OFFICE MOVERS, returns for a second season, on Friday, Nov. 7 with all six episodes available at launch. Created by and starring Brampton-born brothers Jermaine “Jae” and Trevaunn “Trey” Richards as Everett and Eric Saunders, the new season filmed and set in the Toronto area, features the brothers embroiled in bond-testing schemes, shady insurance scams, bogus grants, and rivalries with cutthroat family competitors.

Shazam moving company is still in business (suprisingly…!) Picking up where Season 1 left off, Season 2 finds Everett and his team hustling to compete with Zenithon Logistics, the corporate giant determined to crush every small-time moving business in the city. But after overpaying for a new warehouse (complete with a new, oddball landlord), Everett must turn to a series of desperate, money-making schemes in order to stay afloat. He drags Ricky (Lucas Lopez) into an explosive insurance scam, pressures Carla (Heather Gallant) to stretch the truth on a DEI grant application, and bankrolls Cousin Cloudy’s (Andy Agyepong-Ntra aka WatswithAndy) half-baked attempt to convert their basement into a short-term rental unit. As Everett’s plans unravel, his brother Eric begins to question his loyalty – and whether Zenithon might offer a smoother ride.

The returning cast dusting off their dollies and stretching their injured backs for another round of workplace chaos are: Gallant as Carla Morris; Lopez as Ricky; Marina Nedic as Trisha Roosevelt; Hassan Phills as Hassan Ahmed; Agyepong-Ntra (WatswithAndy) as Cloudy; Michael Charles as Marcus Adeyimi; Solomom Kehinde as Michael; and Baldeep Sehmbi as Prince.

Joining the crew this season are Danny Martinello as Shazam’s newest hire Doug; Gervail Sean Lemo as Shamez; Shazam’s new landlord; ZlamDunk as Zlad, the bad boy son of Zenithon’s CEO; and Marlon Palmer as Carla’s love interest Chrisss.

Also announced today, is the the 30-min holiday special, PROJECTED TO HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS, premiering Friday, Dec. 19. In this special, Everett (Jae) is determined to prove his holiday spirit to the crew. But he never thought volunteering at a church would lead to putting out literal fires, scoping out sketchy warehouses, and gifting families in need a bunch of R-rated toys.

THE OFFICE MOVERS is produced by Counterfeit Pictures and Random Order Studios in association with Crave. The series is created by brothers Jermaine and Trevaunn Richards, who also serve as executive producers through their creative studio, Random Order Studios, along with Clara Altimas and Counterfeit’s Dan Bennett, Shane Corkery, and Anton Leo. Sebastian Cluer and Clara Altimas serve as directors. Chantal Kemp and Counterfeit’s Chris Kelley are producers.

He drags Ricky into an explosive insurance scam, pressures Carla to fudge a DEI grant application, and bankrolls Cousin Cloudy’s half-baked attempt to convert their basement into a short-term rental unit. As his plans unravel, Eric starts to question his loyalty—and whether Zenithon might offer a smoother ride.

It’s moving day! From Jae and Trey Richards, the new Crave original comedy The Office Movers premieres October 11

From a media release:

On the heels of Labour Day weekend, Crave announced today that its all-new original comedy series, THE OFFICE MOVERS, is being delivered to audiences beginning Friday, October 11. This first-ever television project from Brampton-born comedy duo Jae and Trey Richards takes viewers behind-the-scenes of a fictional moving company and showcases the hilarious, yet very relatable, struggles of working in a family business. Produced by Counterfeit Pictures in partnership with Crave, the first two episodes of THE OFFICE MOVERS drop on October 11 with two new episodes streaming on subsequent Fridays.

Shot in and around Toronto, the six-episode, half-hour comedy follows Everett (Jae) and Eric Saunders (Trey), two brothers reluctantly following in their father’s footsteps in commercial office moving. Everett, the owner of Shazam Moving, is fighting to keep his business afloat against stiff competition. Alongside his brother Eric, and a quirky crew of co-workers, Everett struggles to keep it together to land a big enough contract to be bought out by Zenithon Logistics, a moving industry giant. The Saunders brothers battle each other, their family and their crew as they face the unforgiving nature of the Toronto office moving game to make a last-ditch attempt to cash out and leave moving behind for good.

“We spent 10 years of our lives as part-time movers for our father’s office moving company. We endured long hours of back-breaking work while managing unreliable equipment and vehicles alongside some of the funniest (often inexperienced) co-workers,” said Jae and Trey Richards. “On our most chaotic days our fellow movers would turn to us and say we have to make a TV show out of this job one day. We’re grateful for the opportunity to do just that. Though the office-moving world is niche, we’re certain viewers will find relatability and comedy in this show; much of which is based on true events we experienced at work.”

Joining Jae and Trey on the show are a talented group of Canadian comedians, digital creators, and collaborators, including: Jack Innanen, Lucas Lopez, Noel Miller, Hassan Phills, Jesse Sebastiani, and WatswithAndy. Tyco, one of Jae and Trey’s most iconic characters, also makes a cameo appearance throughout the series.

THE OFFICE MOVERS is created by Jae and Trey Richards, and produced by Counterfeit Pictures in partnership with Crave. Directed by Sebastian Cluer, Dan Bennett, Shane Corkery and Anton Leo of Counterfeit Pictures executive produce, along with Showrunner Clara Altimas, and Jae & Trey.
