The Switch (2016) watch online

The Switch is a Canadian television comedy series, which debuted on OutTV in 2016. The series, the first transgender-themed television series produced in Canada, stars Nyla Rose as Sü, an IT manager who comes out as a trans woman, and is forced to rebuild her life after losing her job and her apartment as a result of her announcement.

The series originally had American trans actress Domaine Javier starring as Sü. According to the show’s creators, Javier blew everyone away with her audition after submitting via an open casting call. Javier was officially cast and filmed the first official teaser trailer in Canada in 2012. But due to certain changes within the Canadian conservative government at the time, the local actor’s union making it nearly impossible to work with paid actors from outside the country, and Javier’s nursing education, the production had no choice but to recast the role.

The role was subsequently recast and Julie Vu was slated to star as Sü, but she was dropped from the production in 2014 and the role was recast once again.

The show's cast also includes Amy Fox, Vincent Viezzer, Lindsay Coryne, Andrea Menard, Kent S. Leung, Chance Kingsmyth and Raugi Yu.
