Show Notes

What makes you proud to be Canadian or American? How do you feel a part of society? As we celebrate Canada and Independence Day, we recognize our unique culture and diversity through the Canadian television sitcom, Sort of, released in Canada on CBC Television & CBC Gem in 2021, and HBO Max in the US. Created by Bilal Baig and Fab Filippo, the series stars Baig as Sabi Mehboob, a non-binary millennial trying to balance his roles as a child of Pakistani immigrant parents and Muslim upbringing, a bartender at an LGBTQ bookstore and café, and a caregiver to the young children of a professional couple. The show has been widely received and nominated for several awards, becoming the most-nominated television series at this year’s 10th annual Canadian Screen Awards (Canada’s equivalent to the Oscars). With 13 nominations, it won for Best Comedy Series. It was also shortlisted for the fan-voted Audience Choice Award. In February 2022, the series was renewed for a second season. As accredited media at the CSA’s virtual red carpet, in this Janette’s TV & Janette’s TV Podcast episode, Janette sits down with Bilal Baig (Co-Creator & Writer, plays “Sabi Mehboob”), Fab Filippo (Co-Creator & Director), Amanda Cordner (plays “7ven”), and Jennifer Kawaja (Producer, Sienna Films) to talk about the show is impacting the LGBTQ and non-LGBTQ community around the world.
