Canada’s CBC is the latest network to give a greenlight to unique interview format The Assembly, as the pubcaster rolled out its 2025/26 slate.
The Canadian version of the show, which began life on France 2 in 2022, will run to six parts and comes from Small Army Entertainment. In each episode, one of Canada’s most popular celebrities and public figures will face a group of 30 atypical interviewers, all on the autism spectrum.
Jann Arden, Allan Hawco, Howie Mandel, and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan will all face the music in the series, with more names to be announced.
Executive producers for CBC’s show are Sean De Vries and Stephen Sawchuk.
