Tegan and Sara are getting excited about their forthcoming “High School” TV series after the show began pre-production in Calgary last week.
The identical twins will act as executive producers on the coming-of-age show, which is based on their 2019 memoir.
“It’s surreal. Beyond words. We are living in a dream,” Tegan told ET Canada. “Casting is happening as we speak, the sets will start getting built any day now. It’s all very cool.”

She continued, “We feel intense gratitude for our good fortune. To have the opportunity to make a tv show telling the story of ourselves, but also, zooming out, the story of two queer girls from north east Calgary who started a band feels really exciting. We hope we’re making something that will truly stand on its own, and inspire another generation of young people to be themselves.”
Tegan also revealed that the twins who have been cast to play her and her sister “could not be more perfect for the role[s].”
“We can’t wait to reveal them to the world and for everyone to get to know them,” she shared. “There is something so special about them it’s almost like you just have to wait and see. They are the sweetest, most humble lovely humans who ooze charm and talent and we are so excited to see them take these characters to amazing places.”
