''X Company'' is a Canadian/Hungarian historical drama television series aired by the Creator/{{CBC}}, which aired on February 28, 2015. It is created by Mark Ellis & Stephanie Morgenstern, who were the creators of the [=TV=] series Series/{{Flashpoint}}. Currently expecting to air eight episodes for the first season, it's scheduled for a second season for 2016.
It is 1942 and Nazi Germany has been able to occupy most of Western Europe. Due to this, the Allied Powers have decided to make Camp X as the main base of operations for them to train various military personnel from the various Allied nations. Duncan Sinclair, an officer in the Canadian Army, is in charge of running the covert camp in Lake Ontario. He oversees the base's operations, from training prospective recruits to handling intelligence from its agents stationed in occupied territory. Currently, Sinclair is running a covert operation with a team of Camp X-trained agents in France in order to sabotage Nazi efforts from holding onto the country.
