Allegiance

CAPTION:
Cast: Supinder Wraich (Sort Of; lead star), Enrico Colantoni (English Teacher; co-star) and Samer Salem (The Expanse, The Boys; new cast member to join season 2)
About the series: Created by Anar Ali (Transplant), the high octane police drama is uniquely set in Surrey, BC and became CBC’s most-watched new series of the 2023-24 season. The series stars Supinder Wraich as Sabrina Sohal and Enrico Colantoni as Vince Brambilla. It focuses on identity and belonging, policing and politics, and finding truth within the heart of a flawed justice system. Season 2 welcomes Samer Salem to the ensemble cast as a series regular, portraying Detective Corporal Zak Kalaini. Plus, showrunners Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern (Flashpoint, X Company) are back at the helm of Allegiance. More than your typical cop show (like Law & Order and all the NCIS franchise), Allegiance aims to complicate mainstream police show narratives by offering a nuanced and thoughtful perspective in how it approaches topical issues such as mental health, addiction, youth crime, restorative justice and the policing of BIPOC communities. The second season will be rooted in another powerful set of engaging and topical storylines including online gambling, tech janitors and international schools.
