X Company (Ovation 2015-2017, Juliet Stevenson, Warren Brown)

An emotionally-driven character drama, set in the thrilling and dangerous world of WWII espionage and covert operations. X Company follows the stories of five highly skilled young recruits – Canadian, American and British – torn from their ordinary lives to train as agents in an ultra-secret facility on the shores of Lake Ontario.

These agents parachute behind enemy lines, where they’re fair game for torture and execution. From elegant hotels to hellholes in the field, it’s one risky operation after another, masterminded by the brains of Camp X.

The series aired on CBC in Canada and Ovation in the USA.

From Ovation TV’s press release, July 2018… Ovation, America’s only arts network, has announced the premiere date for the third and final season of X Company. Inspired by the true story of Camp X, a top-secret Allied spy training facility in Lake Ontario, the series stars Évelyne Brochu (Orphan Black), Jack Laskey (Endeavour), Hugh Dillon (Flashpoint, Continuum), Warren Brown (Luther, Strike Back), Connor Price (Being Human), Torben Liebrecht (Homeland) and Lara Jean Chorostecki (Designated Survivor, Hannibal).

Season Three of X Company will debut on Monday, August 20th at 10pm ET / 7pm PT on Ovation. The final season of X Company sees the team of Camp X operatives press forward to the finish line on their last mission together, hoping to deliver a blow to the enemy that could change the course of the war. After the shocking and disillusioning losses of Tom (Dustin Milligan) and those who fell at Dieppe, it’s harder than ever to keep the faith. The rules of human decency are stretched to a point where the difference between good and evil becomes more difficult to discern. The team is faced with the brutal truth that sometimes to fight the enemy, you must become the enemy.
