Originally announced as a planned series in 2011, it was left in limbo by funding cuts to the CBC in 2012, and only the pilot was completed although five more unfilmed episodes had been written before the CBC dropped the project. In 2014, Crawford told Toronto's NOW that he has explored the possibility of reviving the series for a different network, although he has not announced firm details to date.
Wild West stars Gavin Crawford as six distinct characters, each representing a different aspect of the society of the Canadian province of Alberta, in a mockumentary format. The characters include:
The special garnered five Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 2nd Canadian Screen Awards, including nods for Best Comedy Series or Program, Best Actor in a Comedy Series or Program (Crawford) and Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series or Program (Cheng).
