Crave announced today that its all-new original comedy series, The Office Movers, rolls out to audiences beginning Friday, October 11.
This first-ever television project from Brampton-born comedy duo Jae and Trey Richards takes viewers behind-the-scenes of a fictional moving company. It showcases the hilarious, yet very relatable, struggles of working in a family business. Counterfeit Pictures in partnership with Crave produce the show. The first two episodes of The Office Movers drop on 11 October with two new episodes streaming on subsequent Fridays.
Shot in and around Toronto, the six-episode, half-hour comedy follows Everett (Jae) and Eric Saunders (Trey). These two brothers reluctantly follow in their father’s footsteps in commercial office moving. Everett, the owner of Shazam Moving, is fighting to keep his business afloat against stiff competition. Alongside his brother Eric, and a quirky crew of co-workers, Everett struggles to keep it together to land a big enough contract to be bought out by Zenithon Logistics, a moving industry giant.
The Saunders brothers battle each other, their family and their crew. As they face the unforgiving nature of the Toronto office moving game to make a last-ditch attempt to cash out and leave moving behind for good.
On The Job Experience
“We spent 10 years of our lives as part-time movers for our father’s office moving company. We endured long hours of back-breaking work while managing unreliable equipment and vehicles alongside some of the funniest (often inexperienced) co-workers,” said Jae and Trey Richards. “On our most chaotic days our fellow movers would turn to us and say we have to make a TV show out of this job one day. We’re grateful for the opportunity to do just that. Though the office-moving world is niche, we’re certain viewers will find relatability and comedy in this show; much of which is based on true events we experienced at work.”
Jae and Trey Richards created The Office Movers, and produced by Counterfeit Pictures in partnership with Crave.
