The BBC and the CBC have partnered up before, but I'd be hard pressed to tell you when. But now they're back together on a brand new show, a comedy called "Committed." It's being filmed in both Hamilton, Ont. and Northern Ireland - certainly an odd combination - and you'll be able to see it in the near future.
What's it about?
"The series follows Canadian Peter Hooley, a recently divorced accountant, who falls head over heels for Northern Ireland woman Julie Johnston after a whirlwind weekend in Toronto, and crosses the Atlantic to declare his love, only to discover he's landed in an old-fashioned and eccentric rural Northern Ireland village that's nothing like he imagined...
[It's] a romantic comedy about what happens in a relationship after the grand gesture, when real life barges in. At its core, the series explores what it means to step outside your comfort zone—and how people who are very different from you can make life far more interesting than you planned."
It stars Dustin Milligan of Schitt's Creek and one of its producers is Tassie Cameron, who serves in the same role on "Law & Order: Toronto."
No debut date has been announced beyond winter 2027, but it's expected it will show in both countries around the same time.
