CBC comedy Committed, about a divorced Toronto accountant who has a fling with a Northern Ireland woman and follows her back to her village, completed its Toronto shoot in the last week of June.
A co-production with BBC Northern Ireland, Committed is a fish-out-of-water romantic comedy.
Committed follows Canadian Peter Hooley (Dustin Milligan), a recently divorced accountant, who falls head over heels for Northern Ireland woman Julie Johnston (Diona Doherty) after a whirlwind weekend in Toronto, and crosses the Atlantic to declare his love—only to discover he’s landed in an old-fashioned and eccentric rural Northern Ireland village that’s nothing like he imagined.
It’s a romantic comedy about what happens in a relationship after the grand gesture, when real life barges in. At its core, the series explores what it means to step outside your comfort zone—and how people who are very different from you can make life far more interesting than you planned.
Ian McElhinney Dan Gordon,, Muki Zubis, Seamus O’Hara, Patrick Buchanan, Chris McCurry, Georgie Murphy and Athena Karkanis round out the cast.
