Beloved SCTV comedy star Dave Thomas and his son Harrison are teaming up to produce a Canada-themed sitcom called The Orange. The show, funded by CBC and BBC Studios, revolves around a family who witness a gangland bombing and are placed in a witness protection program in Rye, England. However, they soon realize that their new neighbors are Canada's most hardened criminals, as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has been dumping witnesses and informants in Rye. The article notes that while the show sounds darker than Schitt's Creek, it has the potential to be a great black comedy.
