Local Comedy Series Set to Hit Bell Fibe TV1
A new local comedy series is coming to Bell Fibe TV1.
“What Odds”, written and created by Renée Hackett, is the story of defeated actress, Betty, who returns home to Newfoundland after years of disappointment in Toronto. On her 45th birthday, she finds her archnemesis from Toronto is helming a new show in St. John’s as the executive producer. She gets a job as her enemies assistant and is determined to impress in the hopes of getting on the show.
Renée Hackett: Be honest about what brings you joy
“What Odds is a short form TV series (6 X 10-minute episodes) for Bell Fibe TV. I like to call it a cringe comedy. You know, the kind of show that makes you go NO! to the television when you watch the lead make the wrong decision, the one that’s not the best for them. It’s very influenced by the life I’ve lived, with some fiction thrown in for good measure.”
