CBC greenlights On Track with Andre De Grasse

Windy Isle Entertainment's new live-action comedy lands on CBC's slate — Olympic champion Andre De Grasse travels back in time to coach his 10-year-old self.

On Track with Andre De Grasse (10x5) is part of CBC's newly announced slate of original Canadian series, premiering Fall 2026. In this live-action comedy for kids, Olympic Champion Andre De Grasse travels back in time to give advice to his 10-year-old self. The sprint star must keep his younger version on track — but Young Andre's got other ideas, and they don't necessarily include accepting life coaching from his future self. Hugo Assad makes a delightful comic turn as the scrappy Young Andre, and De Grasse proves he's got acting chops and charm to spare, ditching his racing gear for a metallic time travel suit. A fun buddy show in short-format, teaching life lessons through sport.
