Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc (TSX-V:TBRD, OTCQX:THBRF) has unveiled the fall line-up from its unscripted division, Great Pacific Media, including three brand new series plus renewals for its five flagship productions.
GPM currently has eight unscripted shows underway with more than 80 hours in production, all created in-house, the company announced.
Following the June premiere of GPM’s latest home reno and design series Styled for HGTV, Corus Entertainment announced the premiere of GPM’s new series Deadman’s Curse for History Channel, the company said.
Meanwhile, Bell Media’s Discovery Channel announced the two-part documentary After the Storm, which focuses on the 2021 storm and flooding in British Columbia. Both series will air this fall. Additionally, Reginald the Vampire, a GPM-produced scripted drama series for Thunderbird Scripted is set to premiere later this fall on SyFy Channel.

We are excited to continue work with our clients and partners on all these powerful series and look forward to an exciting year ahead with our fresh slate of new ideas that present significant future growth opportunities in the unscripted market.”
Previously known as Thunderbird’s factual division, GPM will now be referred to as its unscripted division, which the company said more accurately represents the increasing diversification of its productions.
