The D Cut is a 2020 Canadian television series on Crave co-written by Audrey Dwyer and Wendy Litner and directed by D.W. Waterson. The show stars Marie Marolle as D, a young hairstylist running a queer hair salon.
The D Cut follows self-taught hairstylist D, who runs a hair salon in the back of Mum's bike shop.[1] D must rally a young queer community to help save their hair salon. D's new client, Viva, is introduced as a possible love interest for D.[2]
The D Cut was produced by Dove Hair and Unilever Entertainment in partnership with Shaftesbury Films.[3] The first season was shot in Toronto over the span of four days.[4] The D Cut premiered on Crave on June 26, 2020, to coincide with Pride Month.[5] It had a second premiere shortly after on KindaTV, Shaftesbury Films's LGBTQ2S+-centred YouTube channel.[6] The show was directed by D.W. Waterson.
The D Cut was co-written by Audrey Dwyer and Wendy Litner and was inspired by the true story of a hairstylist from Montreal who ran a hair salon in the back of a bike shop. The real hair salon worked on a pay-what-you-can basis. Dwyer and Litner were paired together by Shaftesbury Films to work on the series.
