Production Note - Limited Series
Production Type: Limited Series
Little Bird is a standalone limited series that concluded its 6-episode run in June 2023. This production, a collaboration between Crave and APTN, serves as a poignant exploration of the Sixties Scoop in Canada. The narrative was crafted as a self-contained arc focusing on the journey of Bezhig Little Bird as she uncovers her indigenous roots and confronts the trauma of her forced removal.
The scale of the production was significant for Canadian television, utilizing a predominantly indigenous cast and crew to ensure cultural authenticity. Because the series aims to provide a complete emotional and historical accounting of a specific character's reclamation of identity, the story reached its natural resolution by the final episode. There are no plans for further seasons as the creative team designed the project to function as a singular, impactful statement on a specific era of history.
