Toronto International Film Festival Don’t just recognize feature films.
On Thursday, TIFF announced the range for its TV section, Primetime program, which was supposed to recognize episodic and serialized story. This included ten different series, of which six will host their world premieres at TIFF. This year’s 50-year celebration of TIFF also marks the 10-year anniversary for its Primetime program, which departs from the festival’s film-heavy lineup.
One of the six series that has its world premiere in TIFF Primetime will be “The Lowdown.” The Tulsa-Set series for FX Stars Ethan Hunt, which also serves as an executive producer. “The Lowdown” was created by Sterlin Harjo (a colleague EP together with Hawke), who was a co -creator for “booking dogs”, also for FX.
“Black Rabbit”, with Jude Law and Jason Bateman, will also have their world premiere in Tiff’s Primetime section. The miniseries were created for Netflix by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, who previously collaborated on 2024 Jude Law/Nicholas Hoult Crime Film “The Order” (Susman served as the EP on the film, as Baylin wrote). Bateman directed the first two episodes of the series, and his “Ozark” co -star Laura Linney directed the third and fourth. All eight episodes of “Black Rabbit” will be released on September 18, just a few days after TIFF was completed.
Last year, Alfonso Cuarón’s Thriller’s miniseries “disclaimer” had its Canadian premiere in Tiff’s primetime range. The Apple TV+ project continued to retrieve nominations for outstanding principal actress in a limited or anthology series or film (Cate Blanchett) and outstanding film for a limited or anthology series or movie on 2025 Emmys. In 2022, the fifth season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” had its world premiere at the festival.
