Filming of the new series \u2018Cats in the Plateau\u2019 seen on July 2, 2026 at Parc De Lorimier in Montreal. (Pamela Pagano, CityNews) <\/p>\nTwo guys from Ontario move to Montreal in hopes of living a beautiful, lavish lifestyle, but quickly end up working as garbage men and try to work their way out of that quickly by starting a gang.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the way actor Robert Bazzocchi, explained the plot of the new series \u2018Cats in the Plateau.\u2019<\/p>\n
The production is set to be a six-episode, half-hour series in French and English, filmed in Montreal. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think there\u2019s a really nice homage to Montreal,\u201d added Bazzocchi, who is playing Mitch in the show. \u201cWe have some really good French talent, and we try to showcase that as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about what type of gang the characters create, Bazzocchi leaves us wanting to know more. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s something you ought to tune in to find out,\u201d he said, laughing. <\/p>\n
Written and directed by Canadian actor Jared Keeso, the scenes filmed on Thursday were in Parc De Lorimier \u2014 but one might catch the team at other locations in the Plateau this summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery location that we are at is an actual location in the city,\u201d said actor Alexander Calvert. \u201cAll the bars we\u2019re working out of are the actual bars in the Plateau, so I think it\u2019s always nice to see your city on camera.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd this time it\u2019s not playing New York,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s not playing a different city. It\u2019s actually Montreal.\u201d<\/p>\n
