TORONTO (August 3, 2020) – AUNTIE JILLIAN featuring YouTube™ and social media personality Jillian Danford (a.k.a. “Auntie Jillian”), her husband Warren, and adult children Myles and Milan, wraps up its Summer run on CTV across the country this Saturday August 8th at 8 p.m. ET/PT and everywhere CTV content can be found. The six-episode season, aired over three weeks on CTV, and centres on the Danford family in their Ajax, Ont. home as Jillian and Warren do their best to raise, entertain, and inspire their Millennial and Gen Z kids. It’s not always pretty. It’s not always in control. But it’s always funny.

“This is quite a ride we have been on. We went from Bell Fibe TV1 to CTV - a national platform so that the country could meet me and my family,” said Jillian Danford (a.k.a. Auntie Jillian). “The response has been amazing. People see their family in ours. We relate to all Canadians, no matter their original roots.”

When cultures collide, hilarity often ensues and in AUNTIE JILLIAN, the Danford family and their extended fun-loving cast of friends encounter clashes and laugh-out-loud moments, keeping audiences excited to see what fun the family will encounter in each episode. Jillian is originally from Trinidad and Warren from Jamaica, and the two do their best to mold, entertain, and inspire their kids by nurturing and celebrating their Caribbean roots and embracing Canadian culture. From their first camping trip, to a Generation X vs. Millennial cook-off, and Warren’s first time getting waxed, AUNTIE JILLIAN keeps viewers wondering what hysterical shenanigans this family will encounter next.
