From a media release:
From duo to trio, there’s a new boss at Grouse Lake First Nation and he’s bringing a whole lot of diapers! After three seasons of uproarious antics, family chaos, and community love, the hit original series ACTING GOOD returns for its fourth season Mondays at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, beginning Oct. 20 with a special two-episode premiere kicking off at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CTV Comedy Channel, CTV.ca, and the CTV app, and streaming next day on Crave. Filmed on location in Winnipeg and Brokenhead Ojibway Nation, the 10 half-hour episodes blend humour with the ups and downs of northern first nation life at Grouse Lake.
In Season 4, Paul (Paul Rabliauskas) is now a dad with a toddler in tow and determined to be a better man – but is still clashing with Rose (Cheyenna Sapp), a newly elected councillor finding her voice while juggling her relationship with Paul and life as a new mom. With Chief Jo (Roseanne Supernault) in Ottawa, her daughter Chickadee (Avery Sutherland) finds herself in new relationships and figuring out where she wants to be in the world. Dean (Gabriel Daniels) is still running his community store, but between needy customers, supply issues, and Cousin Leon (Michael Greyeyes) back from banishment claiming to be reformed – it’s a full-time job. Meanwhile, Lips (Jason Mason) wrestles with guilt and justice, Agnes (Tina Keeper) and Rita (Wanda Barker) enter full-on Kookum competition mode, and Roger Laughingstick (Billy Merasty) battles community chaos, artificial intelligence, and the rise of true crime podcasts.
Guest stars for Season 4 include Brent Butt (CORNER GAS), Vance Banzo (TALLBOYZ), William Belleau (Killers of the Flower Moon), Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (Night Raiders, THREE PINES), Tatanka Means (Killers of the Flower Moon), and Darla Contois (LITTLE BIRD), along with returning guest stars Ashley Callingbull (BLACKSTONE), Miss Universe 2015 and Miss Universe Canada 2024, and Joel D. Montgrand (TRUE DETECTIVE).
On the Season 4 premiere, titled “Diamond in the Bush” (Monday, Oct. 20 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on CTV Comedy, CTV.ca, and the CTV app, and streaming next day on Crave), Paul (Rabliauskas) hires a Lou Diamond Phillips impersonator for Agnes’ (Keeper) birthday – but panics when the guy (guest star Brent Butt, CORNER GAS) looks nothing like the real deal. To Paul’s surprise, the impersonator is a hit, charming the entire party. Feeling upstaged, Paul grows jealous and teams up with Dean (Daniels) to sabotage the celebration and get rid of the impersonator.
In Part 2 of the two-episode premiere, titled “Mean Dads” (Monday, Oct. 20 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on CTV Comedy, CTV.ca, and the CTV app, and streaming next day on Crave), Paul (Rabliauskas) struggles to connect with his son PJ (Celones). After pressure from Stephen Harper (Aqqalu Meekis) and Rose (Cheyanna Sapp), he reluctantly takes PJ to the park where he’s dazzled by “superdads” Carson (guest star William Belleau, Killers of the Flower Moon) and Jasper (guest star Vance Banzo, TALLBOYZ). Wanting to fit in, Paul exaggerates his own involvement in PJ’s life and minimizes Harper’s role.
