Being Erica

Being Erica is a Canadian comedy-drama TV series that was broadcast on CBC from January 5, 2009, to December 12, 2011. The show was created by Jana Sinyor and was initially announced by CBC under the title The Session, but it was renamed Being Erica before its 2009 premiere. Produced by Temple Street Productions and distributed globally by BBC Worldwide, the series features Erin Karpluk as Erica Strange, a woman who consults a therapist to address her life’s regrets. She soon discovers that her therapist can send her back in time, allowing her to relive and potentially alter past events.

In Canada, the second season began on September 22, 2009, but only 12 episodes were made due to CBC’s budget reductions. On May 11, 2010, CBC revealed that Being Erica would return for a third season consisting of 13 episodes, with Soapnet also agreeing to air the entire third season. Season 3 premiered on September 21, 2010, at 9 pm ET on CBC Television, and in the U.S., it started on Soapnet on January 26, 2011.

The fourth and final season of the show was broadcast in the fall of 2011. Although CBC never officially cancelled the series, Sinyor mentioned to TV Guide during the airing of the fourth season that the show had naturally concluded, and she had no intention of creating a fifth season.
