www.imdb.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
- A TV series reboot of Bon Cop, Bad Cop is in development for Crave, with production reported to have taken place in 2025 and aiming for a 2026 debut. The new series features David Bouchard returning, played by Huard, and introduces Henry Czerny as Detective Martin Ward, replacing Colm Feore in that role. This marks a shift in cast and format from the original film.[1][2][6]
- The reboot is described as a six-episode English/French/Mi’maq bilingual drama, filmed partly in Quebec with support from Indigenous communities, and centers on cross-Canada investigations beginning from a disappearance on the Gesgapegiag reserve. This explains the continuing cross-provincial buddy-cop premise in a modern context.[2][4]
- Reactions to recasting have been mixed, given Colm Feore’s iconic status in the original duo, but creators emphasize chemistry between the new leads and continuity in tone. The project highlights a willingness to reboot for contemporary audiences while preserving the franchise’s DNA.[4][2]
- For context, the original Bon Cop, Bad Cop (2006) was a Canada-wide hit, followed by a sequel released in 2017. The franchise has remained a notable Canadian milestone in bilingual cinema, which explains ongoing interest in reviving the property for television.[3][10]
