Bell reveals newest CraveTV original comedy series, 2018-2019 streaming lineup

Bell has revealed its next CraveTV Original will be New Eden, a mockumentary series developed in partnership with Peacock Alley Entertainment.

According to Bell, New Eden is set to be an eight-part, half-hour “true crime” anthology series from Canadian creators and stars Evany Rosen (Picnicface, Baroness Von Sketch Show) and Kayla Lorette (The Beaverton, Space Riders).

The series will follow two women, Katherine Whitfield (Lorette) and Grace Lee (Rosen), as they start the first all-female cult of its size. However, after facing off against a male-dominated cult, they decide to create a safe space for women called “New Eden,” leading to a crazed community full of drugs, paganism, alien-worshipping and, possibly, even murder.

New Eden will go into production in Ontario this fall.

In addition to the New Eden announcement, Bell also confirmed that the first season of the hit drama series The Good Doctor will begin streaming on CraveTV for the first time this August.  

Finally, Bell confirmed the following series will be streaming on CraveTV during the 2018/2019 season:
