The Family Channel is targeting tweens with The Latest Buzz, a new 13-part, half-hour sitcom about a staff of teenagers who take over a youth-oriented magazine. The comedy is currently shooting in Toronto under noted director Brian Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond, The Drew Carey Show).
The Family Channel commissioned the series from Toronto-based Decode Entertainment. Executive producer, show runner and creator Brent Piaskoski says he’s hoping to secure a fall timeslot. Piakoski, who won a best youth series Gemini for Radio Free Roscoe in 2005, says the series will wrap at the end of March.
