The series, inspired by true events, followed the story of Black train porters in 1920s Montreal, Detroit and Chicago attempting to secure safer working conditions.

Through the eight-part series, the workers unite to form the first Black-led labour union in North America, battling racism and corporate greed along the way.

Executive producer Jennifer Kawaja told The Canadian Press that while CBC had been pushing for a second season “until the bitter end,” their American partner BET+ decided not to move forward.

Canadian Screen Awards: TV Drama ‘The Porter’ Leads With 19 Nominations
Image
The Canadian Screen Awards has unveiled nominations for the national film and TV prize-giving, and the CBC civil rights drama The Porter leads the film and TV field with 19 mentions in all, including for best small-screen drama.

The first Canadian drama series from an all-Black creative team, which also streams on BET+, centers on the lives of Black train porters and their families as they launch North America’s first Black labor union in the 1920s.

The TV categories, voted on by around 3,000 Canadian industry insiders, also sees the CBC series Detention Adventure and Sort Of – a Peabody award-winning show about a gender fluid young Muslim in Toronto played by Bilal Baig — nab 15 nominations each in an awards show shaping up to be a major showcase for people of color.

That follows Canadian film, and TV industry efforts to ensure diversity and inclusivity in the country’s indie production sector and prize-giving process.

The CBC and BET+ are putting out another call for The Porter.

There’s no official announcement just yet, but the Canadian and U.S. TV platforms are set to renew the civil rights drama about 1920s Black train employees and their families in Montreal and Chicago for a second season.

Showrunner Annmarie Morais and director Charles Officer talked to The Hollywood Reporter as scripts are being readied to continue portraying Black train porters’ efforts to launch North America’s first Black labor union.

The second season will also take another step toward reframing Black Canadian history as the first Canadian drama to boast an all-Black creative team, on whose shoulders rest the pressure to succeed and create opportunities for others to tell their own stories that center Black identity. The Porter‘s second season is especially meaningful in light of the fact...

The Porter (2022)
The Porter Trailer: BET+ Infuses Jazz, Liberation, & Conflict in Juicy Historical Series!
The Porter (2022)
BET+ is venturing into the historical/period pieces with this intriguing mini-series inspired by real events!

The Porter dives into the height of the North American railway system, mainly for Black workers who made their bread and butter in the transportation business as porters, a job that was one of the most common for Black men at the time.

And through what promises to be an enthralling series, The Porter draws from the formation of the first Black Union.

Through The Porter, we follow two train porters who were as close as ever, Junior Massey and Zeke Garrett.

One tragedy strikes on the job, leaving the community reeling; the two set on completely different paths that will inevitably conflict with one another in their dogged pursuit of a better life and all that it entails as Black men during the early 1920s.

Junior takes an "if you can't beat them,...
