The Border is a Canadian drama that aired on CBC Television and 20 other TV networks worldwide. It was created by Peter Raymont, Lindalee Tracey, Janet MacLean and Jeremy Hole of White Pine Pictures. The executive in charge of production is Janice Dawe. Episodes in the first season were directed by John Fawcett, Michael DeCarlo, Ken Girotti, Kelly Makin, Brett Sullivan and Philip Earnshaw. The first season had a total budget of 20 million dollars, with about 1.5 million dollars per episode.
The series is set in Toronto and follows agents of Immigration and Customs Security (ICS), a fictitious agency described as being created by the Government of Canada to deal with trans-border matters including terrorism and smuggling.
The cancellation of The Border was announced by the CBC after three seasons were aired.
The show stars many Canadian television actors such as James McGowan, Graham Abbey and Catherine Disher. Sofia Milos and Daisy Beaumont are the only non-Canadian actresses to star, as United States Department of Homeland Security special agent Bianca LaGarda and British intelligence agent Charlotte Bates respectively.
Grace Park joined the cast in Season 2. She appeared in six episodes of thirteen as American Homeland Security agent Liz Carver, and continued the role into Season 3.
Immigration and Customs Security (French: Sécurité de l'immigration et des douanes) is a fictional federal agency based in Toronto, with its headquarters in a formerly used ferry terminal used for the former Rochester fast ferry (43°38′18″N; 79°21′06″W). The agency is led by Major Mike Kessler, an ex-Special forces operator from Joint Task Force 2, and is said to be under the supervision of Public Safety Canada.
