TORONTO (October 29, 2026) – Crave announced today that production is underway in Winnipeg on the new eight-episode Crave Original comedy series WINNIPEG FAMOUS (formerly I CAN’T SAVE YOU), from Redcloud Studios and Frantic Films. Filming began October 13 and continues through mid-November. 

Created by Jennifer Podemski, Sherry McKay, and Amber-Sekowan Daniels, WINNIPEG FAMOUS is a dark comedy about a down-on-her-luck Indigenous single mother from Winnipeg’s North End, who discovers an unlikely calling in stand-up comedy. The series is written by Tim Fontaine, Meg MacKay, Jennifer Podemski, and Amber-Sekowan Daniels.

Meet Sherry Beaver (McKay), a foul-mouthed single mom, who’s broke, recently lost her apartment, and dealing with a family that is less than cooperative. With nowhere to turn and a seemingly endless parade of bureaucratic headaches, Sherry stumbles into the world of stand-up comedy, where she discovers that turning life’s hardships into punchlines, might just be her way forward. 

With no shortage of family drama, community politics and life’s seemingly endless curveballs, WINNIPEG FAMOUS is a sharp, unapologetic dark comedy about finding the funny when life won’t cut you a break.   

Sherry McKay stars as Sherry Beaver, a fictionalized character inspired by her own life, alongside Jennifer Podemski (RESERVATION DOGS, DON’T EVEN) as Sherry’s eccentric, sex-positive mother; Callan Potter (HEATED RIVALRY, WE WERE LIARS) as Sherry’s fellow comedian; Meegwun Fairbrother (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, BURDEN OF TRUTH); and Cody Lightning (THE LOWDOWN, REZ BALL). The series also features an ensemble of local Winnipeg actors and comedians. 

WINNIPEG FAMOUS is directed by an acclaimed team of Indigenous filmmakers, including Zoe Hopkins (LITTLE BIRD, NORTH OF NORTH, SMALL ACHIEVABLE GOALS), Cody Lightning (SMUDGE THE BLADES, HEY, VIKTOR!), and Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (LITTLE BIRD, ACTING GOOD, THE BODY REMEMBERS WHEN THE WORLD BROKE OPEN). 

WINNIPEG FAMOUS is an Indigenous-controlled project from Redcloud Studios and Frantic Films, in association with Bell Media’s Crave. Jennifer Podemski and André Czernohorsky serve as Executive Producers for Redcloud Studios, with Jamie Brown and Sally Karam serving as Executive Producers for Frantic Films. Jennifer Podemski and Amber-Sekowan Daniels are Showrunners. 

For Bell Media, Lauren MacKinlay is Scripted Development Executive; Rachel Goldstein-Couto is Head of Development; Melissa Williamson is Senior Production Executive; Sarah Fowlie is Head of Production; Carlyn Klebuc is General Manager, Original Programming; Li Yeh is Director, Strategic Planning; and Justin Stockman is Vice President, Global Content. 

The series is produced with the participation of the Canada Media Fund, Indigenous Screen Office, Manitoba Film and Music, Bell Fund, and Independent Production Fund. Additional assistance is provided by the Manitoba Film &amp; Video Production Tax Credit, Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit, and Ontario Film &amp; Television Tax Credit.
