Toronto and Calgary-based Titan1Studios is in development on a thriller heist series currently titled Sideshow.

Actor Sachin Sahel (The 100; pictured left) and Brady Roberts (pictured right), co-creator of the Escaping Denver podcast, are partnering with the company on the series’ development. Sahel will write the pilot, based on a story that he created with Roberts. The pair are also set as executive producers alongside Titan1Studios CEO Rathan Moorthy and VP, content Wes Ambrecht.

Sideshow follows a young street performer who is recruited into a traveling sideshow whose members use their circus skills to commit high-stakes heists.

The project is currently seeking partners in the global marketplace with further announcements, including casting and network attachments, expected in the coming months.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Titan1Studios to bring this wildly ambitious world to life,” said Roberts and Sahel in a joint statement. “At its core, Sideshow is a character study wrapped in adrenaline – a story about outsiders with extraordinary talents, finding community while walking the razor’s edge between right and wrong.”

Titan1Studios launched its film and TV division three years ago with other previously announced projects in the mediums including Breaking Point and an adaption of its comic Zomben, in development with Rideback Entertainment. Titan1Studios has also boarded the animated series The Matumbila’s as an executive producer and is looking to set the first two series in the U.S. and Canada while working on the development of season three.
