The film is said to be shot in December and released theatrically next December, with Scott Hunter and Christopher “Kip” Grady rumoured to be its leads rather than Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander. Canadian streamer Crave said it had no projects to confirm. Season 1 had six episodes, and the showrunner has said Season 2 will also have six; earlier comments suggested 12 episodes were being filmed in Canada.
