“Butterfly,” a UK miniseries about an 11-year-old trans girl and her family, has found a North American home. According to Deadline, the show will air on Canada’s CBC in late winter 2019. It originally played on ITV this fall.

“Butterfly” follows Callum Booth-Ford’s Maxine during her transition. “Marcella’s” Anna Friel stars as Maxine’s mother, Vicky. Tony Marchant (“The Mark Of Cain”) created and wrote the three-episode project, which hails from Fremantle. It was commissioned by ITV and produced by RED Production Company and AENON.

“’Butterfly’ is an incredibly raw and emotive drama that tackles the difficult issues surrounding gender dysphoria. We are proud to be partnering with CBC to bring the drama to Canada and are confident viewers will be moved by the standout story and the powerful performances from the outstanding cast,” said Michela Di Mondo, Fremantle’s SVP Distribution, Canada, International.

“I think a younger demographic will appreciate it. There are certain older generations who are going to have an opinion and they don’t want it changed, but this isn’t about changing people’s opinions,” Friel has said of “Butterfly.” “It’s a drama, it’s not an issue drama just about transgender, it’s about a family, it’s a love story, it’s about all the normal family getting through life and what happens when this is thrown into the mix. It’s not ‘you must think this.’ It’s about opening debate and asking questions and educating.”
