‘The Bannen Way:’ A Comedy on HBO?
by Drew Baldwin on June 2nd, 2010

Some excited tweets and Facebook posts published last week on The Bannen Way social media accounts pages may have revealed an international tv distribution deal and DVD release of the multiple Streamy Award winning drama series.

From July 10 to July 31, HBO Canada will be airing the full 93 minutes (a feature-length version of the web series) in HD on The Movie Network and available on demand starting July 13, according to TMN’s online schedule. The listing describes The Bannen Way as an “action comedy,” which at first appears to be a listing error and not an attempt to re-market like in Tommy Wiseau’s The Room, the failed low budget indie drama successfully rebranded as an intentional “quirky new black comedy.”
