Amazon reveals ‘The Boys’ season 3 premieres on June 3rd

Amazon has confirmed that the third season of The Boys will stream on Amazon Prime Video on June 3rd, with new episodes releasing every Friday.

Based on the brief snippet shown during Seven on 7 with Cameron Coleman, a meta tie-in TV show related to The Boys, Season 3 seems set to continue to follow the dysfunctional corporate-run conglomerate that is the Seven. Towards the end of the clip, Homelander (Antony Starr) and Starlight (Erin Moriarty) seem to be struggling to keep up their typically sunny dispositions.

As far as superhero-related TV shows/movies go, The Boys is one of the few that really appeals to me. I’ve always found it difficult to engage in most Marvel/DC television shows and movies because from my perspective, they often don’t feel like they’re grounded in reality. The Boys, however, totally is in several ways that I won’t go into due to spoilers.

Take it from someone who often decries that they “hate superhero stuff,” The Boys is worth watching.

The first two seasons of The Boys are available to stream on Prime Video.

An Amazon Prime Video subscription is included at no additional cost with an Amazon Prime membership, which costs $79/year.

Canadian streaming round-up — Amazon Prime Video, Crave, Disney+, Netflix and PVOD [2021 Edition]

Every week, we break down some of the most notable new shows and movies to hit Canadian streaming services. In these ‘Streaming in Canada’ columns, we also highlight either wholly Canadian content or American/foreign content that has significant Canadian connections.

However, with so much new content releasing every week, you’d be forgiven for not even being aware of most of what comes out in general, let alone Canadian-specific programming.

With that in mind, we’ve rounded up some of the most prominent shows and movies with major Canadian connections. This means titles that feature Canadians in prominent roles, be it in front of or behind the camera. While the goal is to focus on streaming-exclusive content, we’re also considering movies that had either short theatrical runs or hybrid theatrical-digital releases, given this weird period that we’re in. The same goes for shows that were released on both cable TV and digital platforms simultaneously.

Without further ado, let’s get into it.

All Or Nothing: Toronto Maple Leafs

This five-part docuseries follows the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 2020-2021 NHL season and gives unprecedented on-the-ice and locker room access to the players, coaches and fans. The team’s match against its Original Six rival, the Montreal Canadiens, is also featured.

Notably, All or Nothing was narrated by Toronto’s own Will Arnett (Arrested Development).

Genre: Sports documentary
Runtime: Five episodes (42 to 49 minutes each)

It’s worth noting that the series was filmed in and around Toronto.

Genre: Horror
Runtime: Eight episodes (around 41 to 55 minutes each)

Stream Chucky on Amazon Prime Video. Note that a $12.99 CAD/month StackTV subscription is required on top of an Amazon Prime membership.

Kim’s Convenience (Season 5)

In the fifth and final season of the hit Canadian series, Appa and Umma grapple with a medical diagnosis while Janet moves home and Jung and Shannon’s long-distance romance becomes strained.

Meanwhile, Janet moves home and Jung and Shannon find their long-distance romance tested.
