Two years after its brief appearance on VisionTV, Da Kink in My Hair is set to make a comeback on Global, which has a comedy based on the hit stage play shooting this month in Toronto.

Barna-Alper Productions has teamed with the creators of the stage and Vision versions – it ran as a one-off in 2004 – to adapt the Caribbean-flavored comedy into a 13 x 30 sitcom.

Damion Nurse, Trey Anthony and Ngozi Paul exec produce under the banner of Novellette’s Productions with Laszlo Barna and showrunner Shelley Scarrow (Instant Star). It recasts Ordena Stephens-Thompson as the single-mom owner of a hair salon, playing host to a number of colorful clients.

‘What the special did for us was realize how to translate it from stage to screen,’ says Nurse. ‘It showed what we can do with some of these characters.’

The show will mix comedy and drama with a single-camera look, he says, shooting on a $400,000 per episode budget. Anthony, Paul and Scarrow are writing with Annmarie Morais (Step), who also penned the Vision version.

David ‘Sudz’ Sutherland (Doomstown) will direct the first few episodes before handing things over to Stefan Scaini (Degrassi: The Next Generation), Tim Southam (Naked Josh) and Charles Officer (Hotel Babylon).

Da Kink wraps on Dec. 7 in Toronto, with a possible debut in spring/summer 2007.
