Ripple Premiers on Netflix!

Coming to the streamer December 3, 2025

Ripple is a new TV series about four strangers whose small choices create unexpected connections that draw their lives together.

It is a VERY SPECIAL show and Kristjan Bergey and I couldn’t be more excited to have been of this wonderful team as the show’s composers.

First – working with Kristjan is a dream. He’s a ferociously talented composer, a generous collaborator, and incredible human. There is a real risk of me getting mushy when I talk about Kristjan, so for the sake of brevity, I’ll stop here.

The showrunners Joni Lefkowitz and Michele Giannusa (Michele is also show’s creator), are the brilliant creative visionaries behind the series. They did many things so so well, but most of all they set a clear tone for the show and created a space that encouraged and pushed our creative expression.

Working on this show almost felt like we were in the show. It’s difficult to describe the connection we all felt with not only the actors amazing actors, but truly everyone part of this thing.

Rounding out the music team is music supervisor Andrea Higgins and the king of the music edit (and Blue Jays fandom), Kevin Banks.

Chris Russell and Daniel Pellerin mixed the show so beautifully at Redlab

Thanks also to the awesome post-super Howard Porter and general awesomeness that is Kenzie Jones

Finally, to Jocelyn Hamilton and Darren Giblin on the Lionsgate Canada team, thank you and a huge heartfelt congratulations!

Ripple is coming to you on Netflix December 3! Don’t miss it.
