Vollies (TV series)

Vollies is a Canadian television comedy series, which premiered in 2021 on Bell Fibe's TV1.[1] The series centres on the Essex-West-Essex Fire Department, a smalltown volunteer fire department with too much time on their hands because their town never has any actual fires to fight.[2]

The series stars Jonathan Torrens, Sarah McCarthy, Alicia McCarvell, Edwina Govindsamy, Mary Austin, Brian George and James Faulkner.[2] It was created by Torrens and McCarthy, and written by Torrens, McCarthy, Sylvia Beirnes and Mark Forward.[2] It was shot in and around the Truro, Nova Scotia, area in spring 2021.[2]

In October 2021, Vollies was renewed for a second season, which will begin filming in the spring of 2022.

Torrens received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022.[3]
