CONCEPT
CBC and Temple Street’s X Company is an emotionally driven adventure drama set in the thrilling and dangerous world of WWII espionage and covert operations. The series follows the adventures of a group of spies, trained at Canada’s Camp X spy school, dropped behind enemy lines in German-occupied France.
Shot on location in Hungary, Serbia and France, a handsome composite set build, inspired by the real Camp X on the shores of Lake Ontario, was erected in Origo Studios for three seasons (28x60mins) along with dozens of additional purpose built studio and location sets taking the characters to abandon buildings, open-air markets, luxurious residences and opulent offices for high-ranking German officers, purposefully decorated with a deepened colour-base to reflect the most dangerous times of the century.
