The Porter is a Canadian-American television drama series created by Arnold Pinnock and Bruce Ramsay which premiered on CBC Television on February 21, 2022, and on BET+ in the United States on May 5, 2022. It depicts the story of the first Black Canadian labour union in North America.
The series is a co-production between The CBC and the Paramount Global-owned streaming service, BET+. It was released to positive reviews, and became the most nominated show at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards. Due to the lack of a co-production partner after BET pulled out, The Porter was cancelled after one season.
