About The Office Movers
The Office Movers is a Crave original Canadian comedy created by and starring brothers
Jermaine “Jae” Richards and Trevaunn “Trey” Richards. Drawing on their own history working
for their father’s commercial office moving company, the show follows the Saunders brothers —
Everett (Jae) and Eric (Trey) — as they grapple with the chaos of running their own Toronto-
based moving business. With a quirky, diverse crew of co-workers, the brothers navigate family
tensions, industry pressure, and stiff competition from a corporate logistics giant, all while
trying to land a contract big enough to cash out and leave the moving world behind.
