Seth Rogen is swapping the film lot for the pottery studio.
The Dumb Money star has been set as a guest judge and executive producer on The Great Canadian Pottery Throw Down on CBC. Schitt’s Creek star Jennifer Robertson has been named host of the CBC and CBC Gem series, which is set to launch in winter 2024.
The series, based on the UK format The Great Pottery Throw Down from Bake Off indie Love Productions, will see 10 amateur potters take on challenges to create beautiful pieces. Each episode will consist of two creative challenges that test their skill and technique, with one eliminated each week.
It was first unveiled in June as part of CBC’s 2023-24 slate announcement, and was filmed this summer at a studio on Vancouver’s Granville Island under the jurisdiction of Actra in Canada. In the U.S., unscripted shows are covered under the SAG-AFTRA Network Television Code Agreement,...

Luther and Hobbs & Shaw star Idris Elba’s Green Door Pictures and wife Sabrina Elba’s Pink Towel have unveiled plans for Paid in Full: The Battle for Payback, a documentary about the music industry exploiting Black artists, for the BBC and CBC networks.
The three-parter, which will also explore reparations for Black artists, is produced by Zinc Media’s production label Supercollider in association with Canadian indie producer Catalyst.
“This is a story that touches all of us. It’s about the people who created the soundtracks of our lives in popular music and the pain of their exploitation. It’s also about bringing the music industry to account for the injustice inflicted on generations of musical talents who have been deprived of their rightful rewards both financially and in terms of status and respect. At the heart of it is the need to make amends — granting acknowledgement and paying back what is due,...

Adaptation
Ann-Helén Laestadius’ novel “Stolen” is getting a Netflix adaptation.
Elle Márjá Eira (“The Sámi Have Rights”) is set to direct the feature based on a screenplay by Peter Birro (“Monica Z”). Laestadius will exec produce. “Stolen” will be Eira’s feature film debut.
The film, about a young indigenous woman’s struggle in the face of xenophobia, climate change and the patriarchy, will go into production in Sápmi next year and is set to premiere in 2024.
“I am over the moon!” said Laestadius. “For me as an author it is of course a dream to see my book adapted into a film and reach a whole new audience across the world. And I’m incredibly happy that Netflix – with their reach – chooses to highlight a Sami story in a big way.”

As Hollywood gets into gear with decreased pilots and staggered production, Canadian broadcasters that typically rely on U.S. programming acquisitions to anchor their fall schedules have also faced a shortage of new product. But a dearth of American shows is also leading to new opportunities.
The three private broadcasters — Bell Media, Rogers and Corus — presented virtual upfronts to advertisers this week, unveiling schedules that remained fairly similar year-on-year as executives banked on stability and returning series, with a few, coronavirus-era tweaks.
“It wasn’t really a seller’s market,” says Corus Entertainment’s SVP of broadcast networks, Daniel Eves. “There was less product available, but there was also less to show in terms of what a pilot would be. The combination of not knowing what the product would look like [along] with the timing in the market itself [meant] there wasn’t a leverage point on either side in terms of...

Global Road Entertainment is to ramp up its move into the non-scripted television world with the development of Fridge Wars with Canada’s CBC.
The company is co-developing the studio-based entertainment format with the Canadian public broadcaster. The show follows Canadian families across the country, revealing what’s in their fridge and pitting two celebrity chefs against each other to make the best meal possible from the contents in the families’ kitchens.
The development is being lead by Phil Gurin, President of Unscripted & Alternative Television, Global Road Entertainment.
Last month, Global Road acquired the global rights to Little Wooden Boat Productions’ Gsn gameshow format Idiotest, based on a popular app. In January, the company, which was formerly known as Im Global, pacted with Drg to take the U.S and Latin American rights, as well as China to Catch Phrase.
