Exclusive: The 100 actor Sachin Sahel and Brady Roberts, co-creator of the Escaping Denver podcast, have teamed to develop a heist series.
Sideshow (working title) will see a young street performer recruited into a travelling sideshow, only to discover its circus performers use their unique skillsets to commit high-stakes heists.
Sahel is writing the pilot based on an idea he developed with Brady. The Canadian pair will be joined on the project by Toronto- and Calgary-based Titan1Studios, which is currently taking it out to the global market. The team are expecting casting and network attachments in coming months.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Titan1Studios to bring this wildly ambitious world to life,” Roberts and Sahel said in a joint statement. “At its core, Sideshow is a character study wrapped in adrenaline – a story about outsiders with extraordinary talents, finding community while walking the razor’s edge between right and wrong.
