The new unscripted unit launches with Lights, Camera… Kitchen! — a four-part reality series following catering entrepreneurs Nataliya and Leeza, business partners whose multi-generational kitchen feeds Canadian film and TV crews on remote shoots. They’re joined on screen by Nataliya’s mother Irina, Leeza’s mother Sasha, and Nataliya’s daughter Kristina — five women across three generations.
Designed with international sales in mind, the series captures both sides of the camera — spotlighting menu planning, family drama, entrepreneurial spirit, and the kind of culinary mishaps that happen against the relentless pressure of production deadlines and harsh Northern Ontario winters.
“We wanted our first project to feel deeply human.”
