TORONTO, Aug. 17, 2023 /CNW/ - Inspired by the success of W Network's Original Movies, The Love Club, Corus Studios and Nikki Ray Media Agency have started work on The Love Club Moms, the next chapter of the made-for-tv movie franchise. Set to premiere on W Network and STACKTV in 2024, The Love Club Moms will be represented internationally by Corus Studios. Production of the Canadian film series is currently underway in the Hamilton area until October.

The four-part original movie franchise follows the romantic lives of four strong, successful women – Ashley Newbrough (Love in Glacier National: A National Park Romance), Rebecca Dalton (Nurses), Genelle Williams (Family Law), and Nazneen Contractor (Children Ruin Everything) – as they juggle motherhood with trying to find their happily ever after. The Love Club Moms also stars Ryan Bruce (Let Him Go), Corey Sevier (Take Me Back For Christmas), Mark Taylor (Beyond Black Beauty), and Joseph Cannata (A Perfect Match).

The Love Club Moms offers a fresh take on the romantic comedy with clever non-linear storytelling tempting viewers to fall in love with each individual title and, when viewed as a whole, will reveal the interconnected story of love, friendship, and motherhood.

"Following the incredible response to The Love Club, Corus Studios, W Network, and Nikki Ray Media Agency have made things official by expanding the heartwarming franchise to a new ensemble of women – mothers from all walks of life – as they navigate the ups and downs of love with their friends by their side," said Lisa Godfrey, Senior Vice President, Original Content and Corus Studios. "Together, we proudly continue our work creating original and relatable Canadian storytelling that delivers audiences even more of what they love."

The Love Club Moms is written by Canadian Screen Award winner Barbara Kymlicka (The Love Club), directed by Canada Shorts Distinction Award winner Alpha Nicky (Rush for Your Life), and Hollywood North Film Awards winner Amy Force (Santa's Got Style). The movies are produced by Dominic Ewenson, David J. Phillips, and Nikki Ray Media Agency in association with Corus Studios, with the participation of the Canada Media Fund.

"We begin every production with the belief that you should love what you make," said Tanya Linton, Executive Producer, Nikki Ray Media Agency. "When it comes to love: when you know, you know. We followed our hearts to explore the breadth of even more funny, relatable, and complex stories out there to tell. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Corus Studios and W Network to bring viewers the next chapter of extraordinary programming."

Corus Studios' Original content team is helmed by industry executives Colin Bohm, Executive Vice President of Content and Corporate Strategy, Lisa Godfrey, Senior Vice President of Original Content and Corus Studios, and Rachel Nelson, Vice President, Original Content. Susan Alexander is the Production Executive in Charge. On behalf of Nikki Ray Media Agency, Mike Sheerin and Tanya Linton are Executive Producers.
