Indeed, details on the impending third season of CBC’S hit sitcom, Mr D have emerged through a report from Metro Halifiax.
Producer and star , Gerry Dee commented on the growth in the overall quality and type of storytelling that would be seen in the coming season. “We’re getting better at what we do, finding out where our mistakes might have been, and keep adjusting and tightening up the show”.
Further changes in the forthcoming season include its length which has been reduced from 13 episodes to a mere 8 episode season in order to accommodate the airing of the Winter 2014 Olympics.
Additionally, viewers can expect a more central and intensive focus on the main cast and Gerry starting to have opportunities to teach as a physical education teacher- quite a difference from the previous season which featured many guest stars such as Russell Peters and Arlene Duncan.
Mr D is based largely on Gerry’s own recollection of his teaching experiences of a decade, which includes 7 years as a physical education teacher and 3 years as a classroom teacher.To that effect, Gerry Dee has discussed how the depth of his own experiences will impact what viewers will see throughout the entire course of the season.
“I’m running out of the classroom stories so I think you’ll see (the show) start to be a combination of P.E. and classroom material.”
Consequently, the third season will open with Gerry Dee substituting a gym class.
While a debut date for the show’s third season has yet to be set,it will be posted to the blog as soon as the details have been obtained.
