Canadian comedian, actor, writer and producer Mae Martin will host the 2024 Canadian Screen Awards.

The one-hour awards broadcast will air on May 31 at 8 p.m. ET on CBC and CBC Gem, with Roma Ahi and Katie Lafferty of Toronto-headquartered Makers returning as the awards producers, the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television (Canadian Academy) announced on Thursday (Feb. 22).

Born and raised in Toronto, Martin created and co-wrote the Netflix dramedy Feel Good, and is currently working with the streamer on their next series, Tall Pines, produced by Sphere Media. Their stand-up special SAP, directed by Abbi Jacobson, launched on Netflix last March.

The Canadian Academy announced earlier this month that Canadian Screen Week would be pushed from April to May due to a venue change, with the awards taking place across six ceremonies between May 28 to 31 at the CBC Broadcast Centre in Toronto.

The one-hour broadcast will air shortly after the Canadian Screen Awards Gala concludes, and will include “an innovative blend of unpredictable, emotional award-show moments and unprecedented access to nominees and Special Award winners,” read the release.

The nominees for the 2024 Canadian Screen Awards will be released on March 6 at 7 a.m. ET.

“We are thrilled that Mae Martin will be hosting The 2024 Canadian Screen Awards,” said Canadian Academy CEO Tammy Frick in a statement. “They are the perfect fit for this show: a dynamic and accomplished Canadian who is breaking barriers and making waves globally both in front of and behind the camera, just like the many talented individuals who we will be celebrating during Canadian Screen Week 2024.”
