TREMBLETT AND REST OF CAITLIN'S CREW

- BACK FOR ANOTHER 26 EPISODES -

VANCOUVER, June 14, 2000 -- Actor Ken Tremblett is
back in High River, Alberta on June 19 to resume his
role as Sheriff Jim Lowe on another 26 episodes of the
hit television series Caitlin's Way.
 


Caitlin's Way is a fish-out-of-water drama about an
orphaned, city-wise teenager who is dispatched to the
sticks to live with a distant relative. Ken Tremblett
plays Sheriff Jim Lowe, Caitlin's (Lindsay Felton) new
stepfather whose hands are kept full with his new
charge as trouble and adventure follow her from the
city to this rough terrain.
 


The March 11th premiere of Caitlin's Way in the United
States on Nickelodeon was the highest rated premiere
in the television network's 20-year history, making it
the most successful Canadian production in the U.S.
children's live-action drama series market. The show
has remained strong over the succeeding weeks, placing
in the Top 15 Basic Cable U.S. ratings chart. The
series is also a hit with the tween audience with the
Canadian broadcaster YTV, placing in the top ten
overall for non-animated programs on YTV, particularly
with viewers between 2-17 years."Everyone is thrilled
with the success of the show," says Tremblett. Upon
hearing of the series renewal, Tremblett
responded "I've been looking forward to this day since
December 10th" (wrap date of season one).
 


And, Caitlin's Way is going global. Already airing in
Australia on Nickelodeon, the series will soon have a
worldwide audience that includes the United Kingdom,
Spain, Portugal, Eastern Europe, Africa, Middle East,
Netherlands and Greece. It has been translated into
several languages including, German, Italian, French,
Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish and Latin Spanish. "My
friends are already doing impressions of me (as
Sheriff Lowe) in other languages," laughs
Tremblett. "A Spanish Jim Lowe," he continues, "I like
it. I hope the show gets play in every country that
has children."


The successful team of Helene White (Connecting) and
Jana Veverka(Lonesome Dove: The Series, Bordertown)
will once again produce the second season of the
series. Fireworks Entertainment, subsidiary of CanWest
Global, is the international distributor and financier
of Caitlin's Way in association with the Tom Lynch
Company in the US. Financial support is also provided
by the Alberta Film Fund. The series was created by
Tom Lynch, whose other credits include The Secret
World of Alex Mack, and 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd.


Tremblett also has a leading role in the feature film,
The Guilty starring Bill Pullman in which he plays
Pullman's best friend. The film was recently purchased
by Lion's Gate Entertainment for North American
distribution.
