Led by Prairie Dog Film + Television’s Ron E. Scott, who serves as showrunner, director and executive producer on the series, Tribal follows a newly appointed Tribal Police Force chief (played by Frontier’s Jessica Matten) and her broken-down Metro Police detective partner (Unspeakable’s Brian Markinson) as they investigate First Nation crime stories based on real cases.
Sarah-Jane is also looking forward to working with Brian Markinson once more; they both previously worked together on the critically acclaimed crime drama, Da Vinci’s Inquest.
Adam Frost serves as co-executive producer alongside Prairie Dog Film + Television’s Janet Hamley, while Tribal is produced by the company’s Scott Lepp. Writers include Scott, Frost, Adriana Capozzi and Jason Filiatrault.
Tribal was renewed for a second season in February 2020 ahead of its premiere on APTN that month. Season one ran for eight episodes.
Both cast and crew are following COVID-19 health and safety protocols, according to a press release. Producer Scott Lepp has stated that the show has engaged a COVID safety consulting firm to develop, enforce and adapt protocols to ensure a safe workplace. Production is expected to wrap in February 2021.
