Each week, MobileSyrup profiles some of the biggest movies and TV shows to hit Canadian streaming platforms recently.
Our ‘Streaming in Canada’ column generally focuses on new content from Prime Video, Crave, and Amazon’s Netflix, but other services like Apple TV+ and Disney+ will be mentioned where relevant. Premium video-on-demand (PVOD) platforms are also fair game, as movies continue to arrive early on digital.
Finally, we will highlight shows or movies made by Canadian companies, that involve a notable Canadian cast or crew, and/or that are filmed in Canada.
