Helmed by Canadian comedian and Trailer Park Boys legend Jonathan Torrens in the director’s seat, Roll With It returns for a second season. Inspired by real-life experiences of award-winning actor and ‘sit-down’ comedian Brian George, the show follows Brian as he navigates life on wheels in inaccessible cities and surrounded by well… jerks.
Fed up with not living life on his own terms, he takes matters into his own hands in this gritty Canadiana comedy written by comedian Peter Anthony (This Hour Has 22 Minutes).
In Season 1, audiences became acquainted with Brian (played by Brian George) and his offbeat family, always on the cusp of ‘something big’. Fed up with their antics, Brian takes his fate into his own hands and tries to get them onto some quick cash. A man on wheels with big dreams, Brian decides to rob his boss to fund his own business venture. That is, until things go wrong.
I had the opportunity to speak with Brian George to hear more about his work in comedy, moving into acting, and his current work in Roll With It among other interesting things.
Roll With It is rounded out with a hilarious and celebrated cast including show creator and writer Peter Anthony, comedian Kenny Robinson (The Umbrella Academy), Fiona Highet (Murdoch Mysteries), Katelyn McCulloch (Bystanders), award-winning actor Kirstin Howell (Queen of my Dreams) and Steven Lund (Schitt’s Creek). New to Roll With It this season are Canadian comedy legend Mike Wilmot and Leah Pritchard as Brian’s love interest Nina.
Season 2 of Roll With It is currently available on Bell Fibe TV, Channel 1 and the Fibe TV app, with one episode airing each Wednesday for six weeks.
