An Afternoon with SCTV is an upcoming Canadian-American comedy television special directed by Martin Scorsese. The special reunites the cast of Second City Television.
On April 12, 2018, Netflix announced that Martin Scorsese would direct a then-untitled television special reuniting the cast of Second City Television including Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, and Dave Thomas. Jimmy Kimmel was set as the special's moderator.[1] Producers of the special were expected to include Andrew Alexander, Emma Tillinger Koskoff, and Lindsay Cox.[2][3]
On May 10, 2018, it was reported CTV would co-produce the special and premiere it in Canada. Additionally, it was confirmed that Rick Moranis would take part in the reunion with his fellow cast members and that additional footage filmed over the summer.[4][5]
Tickets went on sale to the public on April 23, 2018.[5]
The special was filmed at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on May 13, 2018. The filming reportedly lasted around three hours and played to a live audience of around 1,500 people.[6][7]
Some crew members of the original show were in attendance as well, including costume designer Juul Haalmeyer, make-up artist Beverly Schechtman and show producer Andrew Alexander.[6] Extended family of the cast were also in attendance, among them Eugene Levy's son Dan and John Candy's wife Rosemary Hobor and their two children, Jennifer and Christopher Candy.[6]
The special was scheduled to be released on Netflix internationally and CTV in Canada.[6]
On May 12, 2021, Joe Flaherty revealed in a Facebook comment on a SCTV fan group that the special had been shelved.[8] However, the following day, on May 13, Netflix revealed the special had not been shelved, but delayed due to director Martin Scorsese's other commitments.[9]
