Plan B is a Canadian television drama series, that premiered on CBC Television on February 27, 2023. [1] [2]
An adaptation of the French-language Québécois series Plan B which premiered on Ici Radio-Canada Télé in 2017, the series is an anthology centred on a mysterious agency that allows people to travel back in time to change their lives, with each season telling a different self-contained story.
The first season stars Patrick J. Adams as Phillip, a man who is offered the opportunity to go back in time to make different choices in life to salvage his marriage to Evelyn ( Karine Vanasse) and his career after a major personal setback. [3]
The second season will star Vinessa Antoine as Mia Coleman, a police officer who wants to change her actions after her intervention in a domestic dispute between Paul ( Vincent Leclerc) and Keri (Sarah Booth) Whitman goes disastrously wrong. [4] The second season of the English series is adapted from the third, rather than the second, season of the French series, [5] and will see two actors, Leclerc and Patrick Emmanuel Abellard as Mia's police partner, reprise the same roles they played in French.
