Lance Samuels

Lance Samuels, yeah, that name’s got a bit of a ring in the TV and film world. The guy’s fingerprints are all over some pretty wild projects—think The Indian Detective from 2017, which, let’s be honest, took the whole “fish out of water” detective trope and sent it spinning across continents. You’ve got this Canadian cop, Doug, who gets sucked into an Indian crime saga—there’s comedy, there’s crime, and honestly, the cultural mashup is just pure entertainment. Fast forward a few years and boom, Samuels is tied to Astrid & Lilly Save the World in 2022. Now, if you haven’t seen this one, it’s like Buffy with a serious dose of awkward high school energy. Two “outsider” girls accidentally open a portal to another dimension and basically become monster-hunting heroes—teen drama, supernatural chaos, the works. It’s messy, funny, and unexpectedly heartfelt, just the kind of show you binge when you need something weird and fresh. And let’s not skip SurrealEstate (2021), which, I gotta say, is a little gem for anyone who loves their haunted house tales with a twist. Real estate agents who deal in haunted properties? Yeah, it’s as bonkers as it sounds. There’s ghosts, mystery, and some surprisingly sharp wit. Samuels seems to have a knack for picking stories that are out there—offbeat, but still grounded in real, relatable characters. Keeps things interesting, doesn’t it?
