"Trailer Trash", a new comedy docuseries from Prime Video, follows two unapologetically Canadian brothers from Alberta and owners of Young Farts RV Parts, Jagger and Dawson, who have "gone viral with millions of views of their DIY videos on TikTok showcasing their favourite pursuits: drinking beers, smoking darts, and turning old RVs into cash."
The series was one of several announced May 29 during Prime Video’s inaugural Amazon Upfronts in Canada. It is executive produced by Jacob Tierney ("Letterkenny", "Shoresy") in partnership with Lionsgate Canada.
Set in their RV Super Centre in Vegreville, Alberta, the unscripted series "showcases the brothers' entrepreneurial spirit, larger-than-life personalities, and how they balance work and play." With their father, Cam, and mother, Teresa, alongside a "unique cast of characters," the two owners "will do anything to salvage a good time." With production about to start in Alberta, the series will release globally on Prime Video in 2026.
"This exciting slate of Canadian series and films… captures the country’s diverse creative spirit," said Mark Shopiro, Head of Prime Video, Canada. "These Prime Video productions represent the rich tapestry of Canadian experiences—from the hockey rinks of the NHL to the punk rock scene of Montreal to the trailer parks of rural Alberta."
