YOU’RE MY HERO Season 2

Begins streaming Friday, March 14

Ian (creator and writer Sean Towgood) feels constantly bombarded by the opinions of his mother, his boss, his friends, and his support worker who dish unsolicited advice and criticism out to him – not to mention the ignorant strangers who project their preconceived notions about disability. However, criticism may be in order, as Ian realizes he might actually be that jerk sometimes.

YOU’RE MY HERO continues Ian’s journey as he learns to admit his own mistakes and recognize good advice when it’s given, in order to form meaningful relationships and hold down a job…or else he may never gain the independence he so desperately seeks.

Starring Towgood, Vas Saranga, Tina Jung, Tara Spencer-Nairn, Ali Hassan, Cassidy Civiero, George Alevizos, Joanne Latimer, Kelsey Flower, and Christian Smith, with special appearances by Star Trek: Discovery’s Ronnie Rowe; nine-time wrestling world champion Chris Jericho, and Canadian comedy icon Colin Mochrie.
