Jann Arden is having a moment.
It's about a week before her 57th birthday and her new comedy series "Jann," which debuts Wednesday on CTV, is already looking like a success. Network executives seem pleased with the first season, and social media response to a preview of its debut episode is solid."I've never been busier and I've never felt more empowered," she says while sipping on a morning fruit smoothie at CTV's Toronto headquarters.
The comedy follows the professional failures and personal hurdles of a fictional version of herself -- the kind of person who might've existed had Arden taken a different fork in the road back in the late 1990s. There are also signs her mother is suffering from early dementia, and things get even more complicated.
Arden says her romantic interests are "person specific," and while she's never hidden her sexual identity, she's chosen to keep her relationships private for the sake of her partners."If it would've been my decision like, I don't care, but when you have a person asking you... I honoured that."
