Essex County is a new limited television series set in rural Ontario that has nothing to do with comic books. Well, almost nothing
is grounded in everyday humanity, with just brief flashes of magical realism that allow for that aforementioned moment of Clark Kent mythmaking.the perfect adaptation project for the CBC, or a CBC that was feeling particularly ambitious. Once stuck in development purgatory,required the patience of a superteam of producers and just the right star alignment in order to get its five one-hour episodes to the air.
Piovesan sent the book to Sally Catto, then general manager of programming at the CBC, who gave the thumbs up to develop it – so long as international partners were secured to deliver the necessary resources to realize Lemire’s world, which is at once intimate and epic, spanning generations and realities.

You know how it works in Canada. CBC stepped up, but it did push them outside their comfort zone in that regard, for the better.”
“When they first started developing, it was during the height of my stuff for Marvel and DC and the thought of adaptinghad no place in my life,” Lemire recalls. But then the author collaborated with Gord Downie on the 2016 multimedia project“Mostly, though, it was this story in particular that was the most personal to me, the most biographical,” Lemire says about.
