When the chips are down – whether they’re ketchup or all dressed – Crave rallies the troops with the launch of SUPER TEAM CANADA, landing Friday, May 16, with a two-episode premiere, just ahead of Victoria Day weekend. This campy 10-part, half-hour comedy is Crave’s first-ever original animated series and is created by Emmy®-winning brothers Robert Cohen (THE BIG BANG THEORY, SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE) and Joel H. Cohen (THE SIMPSONS). New episodes debut on subsequent Fridays.
With more action, heart, and hilarity than a Fredericton bonspiel, SUPER TEAM CANADA follows six lesser known and underrated Canadian superheroes, tasked with saving the world from giant evil robots, an unemployed octopus, and a seriously needy hardware store clerk. When the world’s other heroes are trapped and killed, these wanna-be benchwarmers become Earth’s last and most maple-syrup-powered hope.
SUPERTEAM CANADA is produced by Thunderbird Entertainment’s Atomic Cartoons, and Will Arnett’s Electric Avenue, in association with Crave. Showrunner Robert Cohen serves as an executive producer along with Joel H. Cohen, Atomic/Thunderbird’s Jennifer Twiner McCarron, Matthew Berkowitz and Kristin Cummings, Electric Avenue’s Will Arnett and Marc Forman. For Bell Media’s Original Programming team: Rachel Goldstein-Couto is Head of Development; Alexis McLaren is Production Executive; Sarah Fowlie is Head of Production; and Carlyn Klebuc is General Manager. Justin Stockman is Vice President, Content Development & Programming, as well as Executive Producer; and Stewart Johnston is Senior Vice-President, Content & Sales, Bell Media. Thunderbird Distribution and Brands oversee global media and consumer products rights for the series. |
