I Hate People, People Hate Me
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I Hate People, People Hate Me is a Canadian comedy web series, which premiered on CBC Gem in 2023.[1] The series stars Bobbi Summers and Lily Kazimiera as Jovi and Tabitha, two friends who bond over their shared status as outsiders to the LGBTQ community in Toronto.[2]
Summers described the series as having been inspired by films such as Ghost World, Good Burger and Welcome to the Dollhouse, with the characters' alienation meant as self-reflection on his own struggles.[2] The series was also designed to depict Toronto in a graphic novel sort of way rather than realistically, described by Summers as "filtered through the part of my brain that wants everything to feel like a live-action cartoon with darkness sprinkled on top".[2]
The cast also includes Jennifer Sapico, Jake Simone, Dallas Peplow, Jessica Myrie, Ethan Laniado, Lyndsay Clarkson, Deniella Alexis and Luke Avoledo in supporting roles and Canadian icon Bif Naked as a guest star.
The series premiered globally on WOW Presents Plus in January 2025 and is the streamer's first scripted acquisition.[3]
I Hate People, People Hate Me was produced by LoCo Motion Pictures with Lauren Corber, Lisa Filipelli, Evan Dell'Aquila and Bobbi Summers executive producing and Palmer Baranek as supervising producer.[4]
