Amazon’s first ever upfront in Canada today in Toronto was headlined by a trio of new unscripted shows and the renewal of two others, as Prime Video seeks titles that reflect local culture, amid a recent surge of national patriotism in the country.
The new originals for the streamer comprise true crime two-parter Romcon: Who the F**k is Jason Porter?, celebrity format Karaoké Club and comedy docu-series Trailer Trash (working title) from Letterkenny and Shoresy producer Jacob Tierney.
The French-Canadian version of Lol: Last One Laughing has been renewed for a fourth run. Also showcased were Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd, which is the official title of the music doc announced on stage at the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas last October; and a first on-set photo from comedy-drama series Vitrerie Joyal. Each production has a distinctly Canadian flavor.
