The show is produced by the Vancouver based film company Really Real Films Inc. and is now being distributed by Tricon Films & Television Inc. APTN passed as the sole broadcaster for the series, however another broadcaster is being sought out.
Plot
Wolf Canyon entails an eponymous show-within-a-show that is a third-rate syndicated U.S. action-adventure series of the same name. Shot in a remote area of Western Canada on land belonging to the First Nation (Cree) community of Horse Head Lake and therefore isolated from any urban contact and necessities, boredom and madness strike the dysfunctional cast and crew in their makeshift trailer town. The humorous contrast between the urban showbiz folks’ discomfort and travails in the wilderness and the harmonious ease of their First Nation neighbors creates a recipe for hilarity.
Characters
Awards and recognition
Wolf Canyon was well received by TV Guide soon after its first airdate with TV Guide stating "[Wolf Canyon] pushes the envelope with its bawdy humour, ragey characters and grey moral areas. It's addictive, well-written stuff that leaves you wanting more." Wolf Canyon was also decorated at the 2010 Leo Awards earning more nominations than any other program in its category.
