Its Canadian production base reflects how provincial incentives such as Manitoba's labour tax credit shape where this kind of content is made.
Viewers in Canada will be able to watch Into the Chase through Super Channel as a launch partner once the series premieres. Access in other markets will depend on BossaNova's international sales to broadcasters, which have not yet been announced.
