TSN has commissioned a series of original documentaries to celebrate the 100th Grey Cup, the network announced Thursday.

The channel is set to produce six to eight television docs to tell Grey Cup-themed stories in advance of the 100th CFL championship game.

According to a statement from the network, Bell Media’s Independent Production team has already begun development with several producers and filmmakers, but the network declined to name prodcos with whom it is currently in discussions.

“Nothing is more Canadian than the Grey Cup,” Corrie Coe, SVP, independent production, Bell Media said in the same statement. “Canadian football provides a wonderful backdrop for storytelling that is sure to resonate with all viewers.”

The docs, which will vary in length, are set to air in fall 2012.

The 100^th Grey Cup will be played next November and broadcast on TSN.
