ABOUT WINGIN' IT

Wingin' It is a half-hour sit-com about a teenage odd couple. One half of the couple is Porter Jackson, a 'devil may care' sixteen year old Angel-In-Training (AIT) who has been sent to earth to get his angel wings. The other half is Carl Montclaire, a fifteen year old typical high school kid, who has been going through a spate of bad luck.

In the second season, Carl is still trying to survive high school, while Porter continues to iron out the kinks in his magic. In the process, the two get into a lot of exciting and wacky escapades. From zombie doubles, body swapping, getting stuck in Jane's computer and trying to find their way out of Alex's dreams, it's a roller coaster of angel hijinks!

LET'S HEAR FROM THE KIDS JURY

"I like Wingin' It because it shows you that when you create a problem there are often many ways to fix it. When you create a problem you are the one that will have to deal with the consequences. Wingin' It also has a fun way to show the problems and lessons."

LET'S HEAR FROM THE INTERNATIONAL JURY

"Wingin' It is a really fresh take on the odd couple - and it is so well written and produced. This series is a real standout gem of a sitcom in a crowded genre."

LET'S HEAR FROM THE PRODUCER

"We are on cloud 9 about being nominated for the Shaw Rocket Prize! With Wingin' It we wanted to create a show that is honest about the challenges that kids face in high school, but also celebrates the daily triumphs of getting through it! We also added opportunities for our viewers to directly interact with the show through voting for their favourite endings, chats with our characters and online games. I think the true appeal of the show is that we all wish we had a guardian angel helping us along - even though as we see on the show, being an angel in training has its difficulties too."
