TORONTO (August 9, 2023) – Having just been highlighted in Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood Impact Report, Toronto-based content creator Boman Martinez-Reid is set to star in the newly ordered Crave Original comedy series, MADE FOR TV WITH BOMAN MARTINEZ-REID. The six-episode, 30-minute comedy series is produced by Alibi Entertainment.

Fusing elements of sitcoms, mockumentaries, and reality shows, each episode follows Martinez-Reid as he tackles a new genre of television with the help of celebrity advisors and “real” people. From reality star to news reporter, his journey to find his “genre” becomes both professional and personal, as he turns his failures to successes, and finds friendships in the strangest of places.

“I am thrilled to collaborate with the incredibly creative teams at Alibi Entertainment and Bell Media in bringing MADE FOR TV to the television audience,” said Martinez-Reid. “Throughout my journey, I have really enjoyed producing short-form content and now, I am eager to delve into the realm of long-form storytelling and producing for television as it has always been a dream of mine! Given my admiration as a fellow Crave consumer, I believe that Crave provides the perfect platform for my audience to enjoy and access the show.”
