Well, look at us! We’ve got a new look on our website. And we’ve got a new show! We’re thrilled to announce that our first produced series under the Purple Office Productions banner, a show called I Can Explain, premieres December 17, 2026, on Bell Fibe TV1.
Some projects take years. Others move at the speed of light. Thanks to the Bell Fibe TV1 team, I Can Explain was the latter. Seven months from inception to air. Say what now??! Unheard of. But we did it, with a lot of help from some of the most amazing people we’ve ever met, in front of the camera and behind it.
Directed by Anthony Q. Farrell and starring Anastasia Phillips, Shaun Majumder and Mary-Colin Chisholm, the six-episode series is set in one of the most glorious places on earth: North Sydney, Cape Breton. Don’t leave off the “North.” They don’t like it.
Here’s the skinny on the show. Our protagonist, Rebecca, comes home to what looks like a murder scene. With her fingerprints all over everything, she panics and runs as far east as she can go. She ends up stranded in North Sydney when Hurricane Gary blows through, holding a stranger’s cooler of smuggled baby eels, with the smugglers hot on her trail. Luckily, she gets a lot of help from a troupe of locals who recognize her as one of their own. She’s one of them. She’s just the last to know.
Who got murdered in her house? How did she end up holding a stranger’s cooler? Why do the locals see her as one of their own? And what’s with the baby eels???
To get the answers to these questions, and so many more, you’ll have to watch the show!
How to watch: all six 11(ish)-minute episodes drop on Bell Fibe TV1 and the Fibe TV app on December 17, 2026. You can binge them all at once, or, if you’re the type that can eat only one peanut, you can savour them one episode at a time.
