ReGenesis

ReGenesis follows a tight knit team of scientists at NorBAC, a Toronto based cross border lab network that tracks dangerous biological threats. They investigate outbreaks, accidental releases, and covert experiments that may spill beyond Canada into the United States and Mexico. At the center is David Sandström, a fearless yet thoughtful molecular biologist who leads the group with scientific rigor and a knack for cutting through bureaucratic noise. Each case threads realistic laboratory work with urgent public health concerns, from tracing mysterious symptoms to interpreting complex data under time pressure. The show anchors its drama in ethical debates about policy, privacy, and the human consequences of scientific discovery.

Produced for Canadas The Movie Network and Movie Central with Shaftesbury Films, ReGenesis premiered in 2004 and ran four seasons. The show was distributed internationally by Oasis International, broadening its reach from Toronto to audiences around the world.

ReGenesis helped anchor science driven drama in mainstream TV, bringing biosafety questions into living rooms. Its attention to realistic lab work and policy implications sparked discussions about public health, government oversight, and the ethics of rapid scientific innovation.

Critics generally praised its sober tone and focus on the consequences of advances in biology rather than flashy twists. With a steady ensemble and accessible storytelling, the show earned a modest but devoted following, reflected in about 7.3 out of 10 from roughly 60 user votes.
