The Honourable Steve Crocker, Minister of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation, is congratulating the cast and crew of Son of a Critch, which has been picked up for a third season on CBC and CBC Gem.

The show is based on comedian Mark Critch’s best-selling memoir, ‘Son of a Critch: A Childish Newfoundland Memoir,’ and features Critch, along with Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Malcolm McDowell, Claire Rankin, Sophia Powers and Mark Rivera. It is filmed on location in Newfoundland and Labrador, and employs more than 200 Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.

In support of the province’s film and television industry, Budget 2023 provides $10 million for the Film and Television Equity Investment Program and increases the All-Spend Film and Video Production Tax Credit to 40 per cent. In 2022-23, production activity in Newfoundland and Labrador was over $97.5 million, supporting more than 1,600 full-time equivalent positions.

Quote
“It is heartwarming to see how a production rooted in our province’s rich history of humour and humility is being so warmly embraced by audiences across the country. Son of a Critch creates a true portrait of our province as it was in the 1980s by drawing on the exceptional talents of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, not only in front of the camera, but also behind the scenes. I congratulate everyone who has worked so hard to bring this show into our homes and wish them many more seasons of success!”
