âBaroness von Sketch Showâ star Carolyn Taylor will front a new unscripted comedy series for Canadian streaming service Crave, produced through Catalyst and Blue Ant Studios.
The six-part comedy series has been commissioned by the Bell Media-owned SVOD, and is produced by Catalyst â the Toronto-based development and funding company focusing on women-centric content â and Blue Ant Studios as part of a strategic partnership to develop female-generated programming for the global marketplace. [...]
The new series, which is still untitled, is slated to premiere on Crave in 2023. Blue Ant International will handle worldwide distribution.
An official synopsis for the show is as follows:
The action plays out at the intersection of amateur ability and enormous ambition â in this case, inspired by Katarina Witt and the 1988 Calgary Olympics, Taylorâs unlikely quest to choreograph the perfect pairs figure-skating routine to be performed in front of an audience of skating stars and fans. What begins as a light-hearted challenge soon morphs into a real-life mission. Despite having zero figure-skating knowledge or skill, Taylor manages to convince an A-list cast of skaters to help her achieve her dream, including two-time Olympic Gold Medallist Ekaterina Gordeeva, Olympic Gold Medallist David Pelletier, four-time World Champion Kurt Browning, two-time Olympic Silver Medallist Brian Orser, World Champions Barbara Underhill & Paul Martini, Olympic Silver Medallist Elizabeth Manley, World Silver Medallists Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara, United States Champion Adam Rippon, and social media skating sensation Elladj BaldĂ©.
Taylor is joined on her figure-skating journey by BAFTA-winning actor and comedian Mae Martin (âFeel Goodâ) and Emmy-winning figure skating choreographer Sandra Bezic (âBattle of the Bladesâ).
When asked for a quote while rehearsing at the rink, Taylor said: âIâm exhausted, terrified, way out of my league and have absolutely no time to give you a quote.â
