PM Productions Inc. announced today that the mockumentary comedy series The Dressing Room returns with its second season on August 4, 2026 with additional cast and directing talent joining.
Guest stars for Season 2 include Eric McCormack (Will & Grace, Travelers), Andrea Bang (Kim’s Convenience, A Million Little Things), Canadian musician and frontman of Marianas Trench Josh Ramsay and a cameo from Laura Bell Bundy who played the original Elle in Broadway’s “Legally Blonde“.
Award-winning actor/directors Nat Boltt (Holy Days, Riverdale) and Milo Shandel (Mr. Young, The Adam Project) are new directors this season. The series, which won several Leo Awards, was created by Vancouver theatre artists Paul Almeida and Makayla Moore.
The Dressing Room “is a workplace comedy that follows a fictional touring musical called ‘Balloon Boy.’ We watch as the cast & crew try to keep the show alive every night with backstage meltdowns, romantic entanglements, and Broadway-sized ambitions. The series offers a hilarious and heartfelt look at the people who dedicate their lives to the stage, drawing inspiration from real experiences within Canada’s theatre community; as a love letter to the performers, stage managers, musicians, technicians and creatives who keep the show going.”
Returning cast includes Irene Karas Loeper (The L Word), Jason Sakaki (The Audacity, Lucky Hank), Jeffrey Follis (Starwalker), and Alex Gullason (Schmigadoon!).
“With Season 2, we wanted to build on everything audiences loved about the first season while making the show feel more accessible to an even wider audience. Although The Dressing Room is set in the theatre, it’s really about people, and we wanted to place our characters in wilder and wackier situations to see how they’d scramble their way out. Being backstage gives us permission to turn the personalities, relationships, and comedy up to eleven,” says co-creator Paul Almeida. “This season is where we found our stride. Shooting the entire season over ten consecutive days allowed our cast and crew to fully immerse themselves in the world we created, and you can feel that chemistry on screen. We were also thrilled to welcome so many incredible new collaborators this season, both in front of and behind the camera,” adds co-creator Makayla Moore.
The first two episodes of Season 2 streams August 4 with new episodes releasing weekly on OUTtv around the globe and on OUTflix in the UK and Ireland.
Filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, The Dressing Room Season 2 was made possible with the support of the entire theatre community, most especially the Vancouver Opera.
