Just Passing Through web series ready to launch season 2

P.E.I.-based webseriesJust Passing Through is gearing up for a second season.

This time Terry and Parnell Gallant are back in P.E.I., and they're bringing their cousin Owen Stevens with them.

"They get him back to his birth land and the adventures start from there,"writer, producerand co-creatorJasonLarter toldMainstreetP.E.I.'s KarenMair.

"And it doesn't take long for the adventures to start," addedactorDennis Trainor,who plays Terry Gallant in the show.

In the first season, Terry and Parnell make a trip over the bridge for the first time in hopes of making it rich in Alberta, but their car breaks down in Ontario, so they move in withtheir cousinin Toronto.

"The undercurrent of the show is you've got this family, and as we know family can be very dynamic, very dysfunctional," said Trainor.

"I think anyone from a small town can relate it's not just Islanders," saidLarter.

Trainor said he had a brush with his newfound fame at Toronto's Eatons Centre when he stopped by a kiosk to get his phone fixed.

"'I said, 'My phone is dying, can you help out me out here?' and he says 'I sure can, Terry,' and he slides me asmart phoneand just says, 'Take that,'" he said.

Larterand Trainor revealed a few of the adventures the Gallant brothers will get up to in the second season.

Terry andParnellwill get theirpogeycut off, and go on a beer strike in protest. The second season will also introduce several new characters.

"Granny Gallant will make her first appearance, and she's filthy," said Larter.

"Oh, you watch out! Watch out!" said Trainor.

A preview of the second season shows a speed dating event in their fictionalP.E.I. town.

The first season was funded by theIndependent Production Fund (IPF) and Innovation P.E.I., but Innovation P.E.I. wasn't involved with the second season so the team raised $55,000 throughfans onKickstarterto make the project happen.

"The fans are the total heartbeat of this whole story," said Trainor.

The entire second season will be screened at the P.E.I. Brewing Company onJan. 27, 29and 30 and it will launch online on Jan. 31.
