The Bruce Story

***The Bruce Story*** (working title) is a Canadian television drama on ETV created by Ariel Dorris Colby Dorris, who were the showrunners of The Death Story.

On November 1, 2027, ETV renewed the series for a second season consisting of 13 episodes, stating that "*The Bruce Story* has managed to pull off the impossible by reviving the [Story] now-franchise with the impressive ratings it pulled off."

On November 4, 2028, ETV renewed the series for a third season consisting of 9 episodes. Colby Dorris stated that the lowered episode count was "a creative decision, and not ratings whatsoever."

On 24 November 2032, following the show's run, Colby Dorris stated that the 150-episode Death Story franchise had finally come to an end following 15 years of airing. However, Dorris included the possibility of a reunion film, but did not indicate whether it would take place in the present-time or past.

## Production

### **Development**

The series finale of *The Death Story*, which was watched by 1.19 million viewers, also had many scenes dedicated into launching a spin-off surrounding Richie Loftin's character [Jerrod]. Loftin had served as a series regular in the first two seasons of the series, before his dramatic exit at the second season finale. His character's death was explained as he returned for the final two seasons of the series as a regular. However, it was reported on August 3, 2026, that the spin-off did not go through due to ETV "doubting the series would attract much viewers."

On August 23, 2026, it was reported that a different spin-off, surronding Greg Sorell's character Bruce was being "considered by ETV." Sorell had played a recurring role in the first season of [The Death Story] before being the first character to die, coming back with the format changes in the third season as a series regular, but left after the one season. Nonetheless, it was announced on August 30, 2026, that ETV had greenlit a pilot to the working title of *The Bruce Story*.

On December 19, 2026, after months of staying silent, ETV announced that they had ordered the show to series, with the series consisting of 13 episodes premiering in "Late 2027". However, no official name for the series had been announced. Series star of *The Death Story* also confirmed in January 21, 2027, that he would not reprise his role in the spin-off after committing to [The Death Story] for 9 years.

The connection and theory of Doctor Who and [the franchise] was proved correct with the special guest appearances.

### **Casting**

On August 30, 2026, ETV greenlit the pilot to *The Bruce Story*; therefore confirming that Greg Sorell was cast as series star Bruce. However, ETV did not announce any other castings, which has led speculation to another one-person cast.

On January 11, 2026, it was reported that the cast of the series would include the characters Elisha, Jerell, Alyssa and Jermaine [alongside Bruce]; however, none of the cast members were announced.
