Cameras are rolling in Toronto on CBC original series One More Time from comedian D.J. Demers.

Production on the 13 x 30-minute comedy series began on July 4 and wraps Sept. 15, a publicist tells Playback Daily. The series will premiere on CBC Gem and CBC in winter 2024, according to a news release that announced the cast of the show.

One More Time is produced by Toronto-based Counterfeit Pictures. Counterfeit’s Dan Bennett, Shane Corkery and Anton Leo are executive producers alongside creator and star Demers. Jessie Gabe is the showrunner and also serves as executive producer. Dane Clark and Melanie Orr are co-executive producers, Martina Monro co-producer, and Colin Brunton is the producer. Directors on season one include Melanie Orr, Cory Bowles, Jessie Gabe, and Yael Staav.

One More Time is described in the release as a workplace comedy about D.J. (played by Demers), “the hard-of-hearing manager of a second-hand sporting goods store, and the team of ‘enthusiastic’ employees he leads.”

Joining Demers on screen are Geri Hall (Astrid and Lilly Save the World), Daniel Beirne (Ginny & Georgia), Elise Bauman (Workin’ Moms), Seran Sathiyaseelan, and Dayton Sinkia (Letterkenny).

The cast also includes: Nadine Bhabha (Letterkenny), Chris Robinson (The Amazing Gayl Pile), Maddy Foley (The Boys) and Marito Lopez (Gary and His Demons).

“From the writers to the cast to the producers to the CBC, everyone involved in this show is top notch and incredibly adept at papering over my flaws,” said Demers in a statement.

Added Counterfeit Pictures’ Dan Bennett: “As a comic and performer D.J. is incredibly smart, talented, and he has genuine charm. We are very excited to bring his humour and unique point-of-view to Canadian audiences.”

D.J. Demers is represented by Grand Wave Entertainment in Canada.
