Company behind Shoresy wants to extend lease at Capreol Arena
We are one week away from the premiere of the new season of the hit comedy series Shoresy which is filmed in Sudbury. Chelsea Papineau has a look at the show. New Metric Media, the production company behind Letterkenny and Shoresy, is hoping to keep filming shows in Greater Sudbury for a few more years. On Monday, the city's planning committee will vote on a temporary rezoning that would extend New Metric's lease at the Capreol Arena, which it uses for filming. The rezoning would allow ,production to continue for another three years, said a report on the plan headed to the committee. Jared Keeso created, wrote and stars in Shoresy Jared Keeso created, writes and stars in the Sudbury-made TV comedy Shoresy. (Bell Media) 'The proposed temporary use in the arena will continue to foster the further development of the film industry in the city,' the report said. 'The application conforms to the Growth Plan for Northern Ontario by aligning with the provincial strategy of focusing on emerging sectors, including arts, culture and creative industries, and supporting efforts to grow and diversify the arts, culture and creative industries sector.' While city staff recommends the lease be extended, minor hockey officials in Capreol said they are hoping that revenue generated from the lease and filming will benefit young people in the area. Shoresy New Metric Media, the production company behind Letterkenny and Shoresy, is hoping to keep filming shows in Greater Sudbury for a few more years. (File) Upgrades and repairs Jonathan Tulloch, president of the Capreol Minor Hockey Association, said he and others will be at Monday's meeting to urge council to commit to arena upgrades and repairs so that eventually, both ice pads will be available for the next generation of hockey players. Tulloch, a fan of Shoresy, said they aren't opposed to the lease extension, but want to ensure the revenue generated will also benefit the community. 'The long-term lease could offer an opportunity for Capreol Minor Hockey (and) the City of Sudbury to direct a portion of those proceeds back into the needed upgrades of the facility,' he said. He said the Capreol Arena is a 'distressed asset' that is relied on by people in the area, who otherwise would have to travel long distances to play hockey. 'We are very proud that we share a facility with such an iconic Canadian show as Shoresy. We're here to uplift them. We hope they're here to uplift, us as well.' — onathan Tulloch, president of the Capreol Minor Hockey Association Tulloch said they want to ensure that they will have their double pad arena for the long term, and a way to do that is to dedicate some of the proceeds from the lease into upgrades. There's a shortage of ice time in the area, he added, and having the film company take up one of the ice pads for another three years won't help. But Tulloch said the sacrifice would be worth it if it led to arena upgrades in the long term. 'We are very proud that we share a facility with such an iconic Canadian show as Shoresy,' he said. 'We're here to uplift them. We hope they're here to uplift, us as well.' Monday's planning committee meeting begins at 1:30 p.m. at Tom Davies Square. The full agenda can be found here.

GAMETV/Paramount+ in Canada miniseries Hate the Player: The Ben Johnson Story taps Andrew "King Bach" Bachelor, Mark McKinney (Superstore), Karen Robinson (Schitt's Creek) and Ennis Esmer (Blindspot) to join cast
Social media star Bachelor takes on the role of famed U.S. sprinter Carl Lewis, with Kids in the Hall's McKinney guest starring alongside a cavalcade of Canadiancomedy talent in the New Metric Media six-episode series, currently in productionin association with Bay Mills Studios TORONTO, July 9, 2025 /CNW/ -- Award-winning comedy entertainment studio and 360-degree brand marketing leader New Metric Media, in association with Bay Mills Studios, is pleased to welcome a supporting cast of top-notch comedic acting talent to upcoming satirical miniseries Hate the Player: The Ben Johnson Story, set to debut on Anthem Sports & Entertainment's GameTV and Paramount+ in Canada in 2026. Social media star and actor Andrew Bachelor, better known as King Bach, who has amassed an ever-growing following of more than 70 million across various social media platforms, is taking on the role of famed U.S. sprinter Carl Lewis, opposite the previously announced series star Shamier Anderson, who plays Ben Johnson. Most recently, Bachelor has also starred in Netflix comedy Coffee and Kareem, alongside Taraji P. Henson, Ed Helms and Betty Gilpin, Netflix horror The Babysitter: Killer Queen with Jenna Ortega and Netflix romcom Holidate with Emma Roberts and Kristin Chenoweth. "As someone who grew up surrounded by the sport of track and field, it's truly in my blood. My father was a sprinter in Jamaica, and he passed down to me not just his speed, but his passion and deep understanding of the sport. I had the honor of running track for Florida State University, where we won nationals three years in a row. Carl Lewis was a hero of mine – not just because of his dominance, but because he excelled in multiple events, just like I did," said Andrew Bachelor. "The rivalry between Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis is one of the most iconic in sports history. To be a part of bringing that story to life is an incredible honour and a full-circle moment for me." Mark McKinney, performer, writer and producer of some of the most groundbreaking television made in North America, including Kids in the Hall, will recur in the role of lawyer Walter F. Essanpee in Hate the Player: The Ben Johnson Story. Meanwhile, SAG and Canadian Screen Award winner Karen Robinson (Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, Schitt's Creek) is playing Ben's beloved mom, Gloria, with three-time Canadian Screen Award Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Ennis Esmer (New Metric Media's Children Ruin Everything, The Madness) portraying Ben's doctor Jamie Astaphan. Kristian Bruun (The Recruit, Orphan Black) joins the cast as Ben's coach Charlie Francis and Malaika Hennie Hamadi (New Metric Media's Bria Mack Gets A Life) as intern Khara. Rounding out the supporting cast is a cavalcade of Canadian comedy talent including Ryan Belleville (Workin' Moms), Darryl Hinds (Second City), Lisa Horner (Kim's Convenience), Emma Hunter (Mr. D, Letterkenny), Suresh John (Mr. D, Last Frontier), Jonathan Langdon (M. Knight Shyamalan's Trap), Gita Miller (Workin' Moms), Andrew Phung (Kim's Convenience, Run the Burbs) and Dewshane Williams (Hello Tomorrow). The miniseries has also lined up several fun cameos, including appearances by WWE star Chelsea Green and Canadian NASCAR driver Amber Balcaen. Hate the Player: The Ben Johnson Story is Canadian sprinter Johnson's definitely-not-biased account of the doping controversy that rocked the 1988 Olympics when he tested positive for banned steroid use, going from hero to zero in 9.79 seconds in what some called "The Dirtiest Race in History". The series takes a revealing and satirical look at the events surrounding the legendary race and the scandal behind the scandal. New Metric Media identified and put the project together, entering development on the series with Paramount+ in Canada in 2023. The series is created by BAFTA-winning and Emmy-nominated writer Anthony Q. Farrell (The Office, Shelved, Run the Burbs), who serves as showrunner and Executive Producer. New Metric Media CEO Mark Montefiore (Letterkenny, Shoresy, Children Ruin Everything) and director R.T. Thorne will also executive produce, alongside Anderson and Stephan James for Bay Mills Studio. Lana Maclin and Max Wolfond serve as Producer and Supervising Producer, respectively, for New Metric. Thorne (The Porter) and Cory Bowles (Trailer Park Boys) are set to direct. Set to debut on GameTV and Paramount+ in Canada simultaneously in early 2026, Hate the Player: The Ben Johnson Story is being produced with participation from Ben Johnson and is inspired by extensive research conducted by Canadian author and journalist, Mary Ormsby. New Metric Media is distributing the miniseries internationally.

GameTV partners with Paramount+ in Canada to Greenlight Original Canadian Miniseries HATE THE PLAYER: THE BEN JOHNSON STORY from New Metric Media in Association with Bay Mills Studios
John Wick 4 's Shamier Anderson stars as Ben Johnson and serves as an Executive Producer of the six-episode series Created by (The Office), HATE THE PLAYER starts production on June 20, 2025, in Toronto TORONTO, June 18, 2025 /CNW/ -- Award-winning comedy entertainment studio and 360-degree brand marketing leader New Metric Media, in association with Bay Mills Studios, is excited to announce that new original comedic miniseries HATE THE PLAYER: THE BEN JOHNSON STORY is off the blocks and running. Anthem Sports & Entertainment 's linear network GameTV has commissioned the six-episode series and will be its exclusive cable home in Canada, while Paramount+ in Canada, which developed the series with New Metric, will be its exclusive streaming platform in the country. Shamier Anderson (John Wick 4, Invasion) stars as Ben Johnson and will also serve as an Executive Producer for Bay Mills Studios. HATE THE PLAYER: THE BEN JOHNSON STORY is Canadian sprinter Johnson's definitely-not-biased account of the doping controversy that rocked the 1988 Olympics when he tested positive for banned steroid use, going from hero to zero in 9.79 seconds in what some called "The Dirtiest Race in History". The series takes a revealing and satirical look at the events surrounding the legendary race and the scandal behind the scandal. New Metric Media identified and put the project together, entering into development on the series with Paramount+ in Canada in 2023. The series is created by BAFTA-winning and Emmy-nominated writer Anthony Q. Farrell (The Office, Shelved, Run the Burbs), who serves as showrunner and Executive Producer. New Metric Media CEO Mark Montefiore (Letterkenny, Shoresy, Children Ruin Everything) and director R.T. Thorne will also executive produce, alongside Anderson and Stephan James for Bay Mills Studio. Lana Maclin and Max Wolfond serve as Producer and Supervising Producer, respectively, for New Metric. Thorne (The Porter) and Cory Bowles (Trailer Park Boys) are set to direct. Series star Shamier Anderson can currently be seen in the massively successful John Wick 4, as well as Simon Kinberg's Invasion on AppleTV+, which will launch its third season later this year. He also starred opposite Paul Walter Hauser in IFC Films' The Luckiest Man in America, which premiered at TIFF 2024. "Everyone thinks they know the story of Ben Johnson and the scandal that has followed him since the 1988 Olympics, but they won't know what hit them with HATE THE PLAYER," said Shamier Anderson. "For me, this hits differently. I grew up in Scarborough, where Ben trained, where his name still echoes. He was a hometown legend. Yes complicated, but also someone people rooted for. Being able to step into his shoes, especially with a lens that blends comedy and Ben's point of view, means a lot. And getting to do it alongside New Metric Media, who've been killing it in comedy, is a real honour, not just as an actor, but as an executive producer with my company, Bay Mills Studios." Anderson is represented by OAZ, Mosaic, CAA and Jackoway Austen Tyerman. Farrell is represented by Sheree Guitar Entertainment, Ambition Talent and Jonathan Shikora (LGN Law). "From the outset, we knew two things to be true. One, people knew what Ben Johnson did to the world, but not what the world did to Ben Johnson. And two, if we were lucky enough to tell this story, that Shamier Anderson had to play Ben. Full stop," said New Metric Media CEO Mark Montefiore. "Anthony's take on the story is inventive, hilarious, completely irreverent and we are proud to be working with GameTV and Paramount+, who have shown nothing but giant cajónes in supporting this project." "This marks an exciting milestone for GameTV, giving us the unique opportunity to present a major original Canadian program offering on our network," said Maria Donatelli, Vice President of Programming, GameTV. "HATE THE PLAYER embodies the bold, genre-busting storytelling we're proud to champion. It's a fearless, fast-paced comedy that dares to reimagine a moment in Canadian sports history with sharp wit and wild energy, we look forward to sharing it with our viewers." "From announcing the development of New Metric's HATE THE PLAYER at Banff in 2023 to now partnering with Anthem Sports & Entertainment's GameTV for the greenlight, we're excited to see this bold, comedic take on an iconic Canadian story move to production," said Vanessa Case, Vice President of Content at Paramount+ and Pluto TV Canada. "Paramount+ is proud to have championed this project from the start, and this collaboration marks an exciting and innovative model for us — a streamer joining forces with a linear broadcaster to deliver compelling Canadian content to even broader audiences and providing another sustainable model for the Canadian production community." Set to debut on GameTV and Paramount+ in Canada simultaneously in early 2026, HATE THE PLAYER: THE BEN JOHNSON STORY is being produced with participation from Ben Johnson and is inspired by extensive research conducted by Canadian author and journalist, Mary Ormsby.
