Family Channel debuts new Canuck original series

March 2, 2010 by Kate Calder

Astral Media’s Family Channel in Canada is set to debut a new original series, Wingin’ It, which has been under wraps until now.

This live-action comedy series follows teenage odd couple, Porter (Demetrius Joyette, The Latest Buzz) who’s an angel-in-training, and Carl (Dylan Everett, Booky’s Crush), a disaster-prone young teen. Porter’s earthly task is to make Carl into the most popular kid in school. A sneak peek of the series will air during Family’s Superstar Spring line-up on March 19. And the series is set to air regularly on Saturdays and Sundays beginning April 3.

Commissioned by Family Channel, Wingin’ It is produced by Toronto’s Temple Street Productions. The series was created by Frank van Keeken (The Kids in the Hall, Billable Hours) and is executive produced by Frank van Keeken, Ivan Schneeberg and David Fortier (Being Erica, Billable Hours, Darcy’s Wild Life).
