Fans of The L.A. Complex will be getting an additional 13 episodes of the shot in Toronto, set in Los Angeles series. The order from Bell Media expands the first season from six episodes to 19.
The series, produced by Degrassi’s Linda Schuyler and Stephen Stohn, follows a group of Hollywood hopefuls sharing an L.A. apartment as they try to get their big break in show business.
“The team here is very excited about jumping back into this lush and provocative world to push the envelope even further and see where these characters can go,” said Canadian writer-producer Martin Gero, of HBO’s Bored to Death, in a release.
The cast includes Toronto’s Cassie Steele, known for her role as Manny Santos on Degrassi: The Next Generation, Vancouver’s Chelan Simmons, from Final Destination 3 and Carrie, and Stratford, Ont.’s Joe Dinicol, of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and The Virgin Suicides.
The new episodes, which will begin production in April, should air in July.
The L.A. Complex airs on MuchMusic and premieres on the CW on April 24.
