Rainmaker Content has secured the international distribution rights to seasons one and two of Crash Course (Casse-Gueule), made by Duo Productions for Crave.
Rainmaker, together with German production company Bravado Equity, invested in the show, which is currently in production for season two following the success of season one earlier this year. The series is set against the backdrop of Quebec’s competitive food scene.
Hugo D’Astous, president of Duo Productions, said, “There’s an endless appetite for content set in the gastronomic world, and Crash Course takes that fascination with food and seasons it with family drama, fun, romance and Montreal’s vibrant restaurant scene. We believe that’s an irresistible proposition for audiences around the world.”
Greg Phillips, co-CEO and founder of Rainmaker Content, added: “Crash Course has all the ingredients of a highly exportable dramedy: a distinctive world, compelling characters, high emotional stakes and a setting that feels both specific and universal. A restaurant kitchen is a rich dramatic environment, where ambition, creativity, pressure and personality collide. What sets this series apart is that it goes beyond the kitchen to explore family, relationships and the consequences of pursuing your dreams at any cost. We look forward to bringing it to buyers around the world.”
Eric Welbers, CEO and founder of Bravado Equity, said: “From the moment we discovered Crash Course, we were struck by how local and international it feels at the same time. We are thrilled to have partnered with Duo Productions and Rainmaker on such a distinctive series and look forward to seeing it reach audiences far beyond Quebec.”
