“The tomb aspect of the show was built up from last season and was an opportunity to have longer commentary about missing Indigenous people,” Scott says.” We really felt the explanation of the tomb couldn’t be one episode. It needed some build and some explanation.”
Tribal picks up three wins including best scripted series or mini-series at the Alberta Film & Television Awards.
Cameras are set to roll Nov. 17 for the 10-episode season that is scheduled to air in the fall of 2021 on APTN, says creator, showrunner Ron E. Scott.
Two Calgary-based shows were the top nominated. Tribal (Prairie Dog Film & Television) had 12 nominations while Heartland (SEVEN24 Films) had 10.
