Charlie Jade
Charlie Jade (2005) is a science-fiction television series that was co-produced by Canada and South Africa and created by Chris Roland and Robert Wertheimer. It ran for one season. A second season was scripted, but has not as yet been produced.
Twenty episodes were originally made for the first (and, to date, only) season of Charlie Jade. A special "catch-up" episode, filmed in Montréal at a later date, was added to this run at the request of the Canadian network CHUM, in order to bring new viewers up to speed. This episode, "Can of Worms", fits in between episodes 16 and 17.
No episodes of this series were either written or directed by women.
