Toronto-based New Metric Media has teamed up with Montreal prodco Encore to develop an untitled new rom-com series.

The project is based on a concept created by New Metric founder and CEO Mark Montefiore (pictured left). It revolves around the story of a Québécois and Anglo-Ontarian family reluctantly coming together despite their differences for an unforgettable wedding weekend, which quickly turns into a whodunnit mystery after the wedding gift cash box goes missing.

No broadcasters or streaming services are attached to the project as of press time.

“We’re excited to collaborate with the insanely talented producteurs d’Encore on this hilarious nouvelle series that will transcend barriers de la langue and playfully bridge the gap between Québécois and English cultures,” said Montefiore in a statement. “This project is a celebration of inclusivity, laughter and the unique charm that defines le coeur du Canada.”

“As comedy is part of Encore’s DNA, nous sommes très heureux to work with New Metric Media,” added Encore president Julie Provençal (pictured right). “With Mark, his incredibly talented team, and a project that made us rire at the first words, it was only natural for us to join forces.”

New Metric has been busy of late, signing a multi-year creative partnership with Crave and Letterkenny creator Jared Keeso late last year. The prodco also inked an agreement with Netflix late last fall for Crave originals Letterkenny and Shoresy, and CTV comedy Children Ruin Everything, for distribution in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.
