The second season of the slick procedural crime series Allegiance begins January 15 on CBC and CBC Gem. The shot-in-Surrey, B.C., drama stars Supinder Wraich (Sort Of), Enrico Colantoni (also great of late in English Teacher) and Samer Salem (The Expanse). I spoke with all three in Toronto at the CBC Winter Media Launch in December.
Wraich plays Sabrina Sohal, a promising rookie police officer who fights to serve her hometown. Rico is the seasoned cop who mentors her past the hurdles of a flawed justice system.
In Season Two, Sohal graduates to the Serious Crimes Unit (what, they have a Not-so-Serious Crimes Unit?) and has six months to prove she’s got what it takes to be a detective. She’s paired in that task with a more experinced officer, played by series newcomer Salem.
All three take part in this chatty podcast episode, taped live at CBC’s Broadcast Centre in downtown Toronto. The discussion ranges from immigration and cultural clashes, fellow co-star David Cubitt (whom they all praise) and even which cast member caused the most outtakes.
Allegiance was created by Anar Ali (Transplant). Returning as showrunners are Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern (Flashpoint, X Company).
