CBC PREPARES THE FIFTH SEASON OF "WORKIN’ MOMS"

Principal photography has begun on the fifth season of CBC’s bold and irreverent original comedy "Workin’ Moms" (10x30), produced by Wolf + Rabbit Entertainment.  The series is created by Catherine Reitman ("Black-ish", "It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia"), who serves as showrunner and executive producer and stars as Kate Foster.

"Workin’ Moms" looks at the polarizing and unexpected realities of the lives of a group of friends—all working moms—and their partners, as they’ve adjusted to life as parents. They might not be able to have it all, but they’re sure as hell going to try. Production will continue in and around Toronto through late November for a winter 2021 premiere on CBC and the free CBC Gem streaming service.

“We are beyond grateful to be back in production, particularly given the unusual circumstances we are living in,” said Reitman. “The response to Workin’ Moms around the world has been truly touching and we’ve never felt more motivated to provide our audience with some laughter and escape.”

The CBC original series is produced by Wolf + Rabbit Entertainment with the financial participation of the Canada Media Fund. The series is distributed internationally by Coldsprings Media LLC and represented by Executive Producer Tina Horwitz and her company Vanguarde Artists Management. The series airs in Canada on CBC and CBC Gem, and streams worldwide as a Netflix Original.

"Workin’ Moms" is executive produced by Catherine Reitman, Philip Sternberg, and Jonathan A. Walker. Directors for the season are Mars Horodyski ("Murdoch Mysteries", "This Hour Has 22 Minutes") and Aleysa Young ("New Eden", "Baroness von Sketch Show"). The series is written by Reitman, Jessie Gabe ("Frankie Drake Mysteries", "Mr. D") who is also co-executive producer this season, Karen Moore ("Mary Kills People", "Detention Adventure") who serves as supervising producer, Daniel Gold ("Workin’ Moms") and Linsey Stewart ("Mr. D", "The Commute").
