Citytv Announces Cast and Start of Production for Original Series, Seed
Citytv and Force Four Entertainment today announced primary casting for the all-new, original comedy series Seed. Canadian actors Adam Korson (2 Broke Girls) and Carrie-Lynn Neales (The L.A. Complex) headline the 13-episode, half-hour series, which begins production today October 1 in Halifax. Produced by Force Four Entertainment, Seed will air on Citytv in early 2013. Full broadcast details to be announced at a later date.
Seed is a laugh-out-loud comedy with a big heart. The series follows ill-equipped bachelor bartender Harry (Korson), who finds his foray into the world of sperm donation has resulted in kids – lots of them. As Harry discovers his new-found children, he becomes entangled in the lives of his offspring and their less-than-thrilled families – including Rose (Neales), a single woman jaded by the dating scene, who impulsively uses the sperm bank to try to get pregnant.
Canadian actors Korson and Neales join an exciting cast including: Amanda Brugel (Saving Hope, The Firm), Stephanie Anne Mills (Good God, Total Drama Island), Laura de Carteret (The L.A. Complex, The Listener), Matt Baram (Saving Hope, Wingin’ It), Vanessa Matsui (King, XIII: The Series), and introducing Abby Ross and William Ainscough.
“We are excited to watch our dynamic cast put their own creative stamp on this timely story about a prolific sperm donor who is ill-equipped for his enthusiastic and hilarious journey into fatherhood,” said John Richie, Executive Producer and Partner, Force Four Entertainment.
Seed is created by Joseph Raso (Zombies & Cheerleaders) who will executive produce along with award-winning writer and producer Mark Farrell (This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Made in Canada, Corner Gas). Claire Freeland is Director of Original Programming, Broadcast, Rogers Media, and Carol Commisso is Production Executive for Original Programming, Rogers Media.
The Force Four production team also includes Supervising Producer Paula J. Smith (Less Than Kind, Paradise Falls, Metropia) and Producer/Line Producer Karen Wentzell (Trailer Park Boys).
