Based on the best-selling novel "Son of a Trickster" by Eden Robinson and created by award-winning filmmaker Michelle Latimer ("RISE," "Nuuca") and Tony Elliott ("Orphan Black"), TRICKSTER stars newcomer Joel Oulette as Jared, an Indigenous teen struggling to keep his dysfunctional family above water, but when he starts seeing strange things - talking ravens, doppelgängers, skin monsters - his already chaotic life is turned upside down. Additional cast includes Crystle Lightning ("Outlander"), Kalani Queypo ("Jamestown"), Anna Lambe ("The Grizzlies"), Joel Thomas Hynes ("Little Dog"), Craig Lauzon ("Royal Canadian Air Farce"), Gail Maurice ("Cardinal") and Georgina Lightning ("Blackstone"). Executive produced by Streel Films' Michelle Latimer, Tony Elliott, and Sienna Films' Jennifer Kawaja and Julia Sereny, TRICKSTER is a CBC original series, produced by Sienna Films ("Cardinal"). Latimer also directed all six episodes. Sienna Films is a Sphere Media company. Abacus Media Rights handles international sales. |
