HALIFAX:<\/strong> AMI-tv, Torrential Pictures, and Club Red Productions announce the renewal of Pretty Blind <\/em><\/strong>on the heels of the show\u2019s successful Season One launch on July 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced by Jenna MacMillan (Who\u2019s Yer Father?<\/em>) and Jonathan Torrens (Mr. D<\/em>), the show transforms the popular podcast by Jennie Bovard, Low Vision Moments<\/em>, into comedy gold that pokes back at ableism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking inspiration from her own real-life experiences as a person with albinism and partial sight, Bovard joins Jonathan Torrens, Mark Forward (Fargo<\/em>), and comedian Dan Barra-Berger in the writers’ room to make a unique comedy about a rarely-represented community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second season of Pretty Blind will begin production in Fall 2025 in Nova Scotia, Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Seeing the world through Jennie’s eyes has taught all of us so much and using a visual medium to make a show for a low vision audience has reshaped my entire approach to storytelling,\u201d says producer Jonathan Torrens, who also made a guest appearance in Season One of Pretty Blind<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having albinism and partial sight has its fair set of challenges. In Season One, we join Jennie Bonang (played by Jennie Bovard) as she navigates an ableist culture with wit and charm\u2013from a romantic fall-out to an overbearing roommate, to her dysfunctional family and equally dysfunctional workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To cope, Jennie starts her own podcast Low Vision Moments<\/em> and enlists the surprise help of a local superstar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We meet the characters that colour Jennie\u2019s daily life, with an ensemble cast that includes Jacob Hemphill (Roll With It<\/em>) as Yves; Jessica Barry (FROM<\/em>) as Veronica; Dan Barra-Berger (All Access Comedy<\/em>) as Steve; and MJ \u2018Joanne\u2019 Miller (Diggstown<\/em>) as Sandy, alongside a cameo appearance from Jonathan Torrens who also directs a few episodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I began the Low Vision Moments<\/em> podcast, it was a chance to reframe blindness and albinism, for listeners and myself,\u201d says lead actor and Associate Producer Jennie Bovard. \u201cIt quickly turned into a community that shared a common experience and found its way to bond with laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hadn\u2019t dreamed that one day we\u2019d be filming not only one season, but a second season, based on that podcast. I am incredibly grateful to AMI, Torrential Productions, and Club Red.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pretty Blind<\/em><\/strong>‘s first season launched on July 8th, 2025, with episodes every Tuesday at 9 p.m. Eastern on AMI-tv. Stream episodes anytime, for free, on AMI<\/a>+ across Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
