Streaming in Canada on Amazon Prime Video, Crave, Disney+ and Netflix [April 24-30]

Every week, MobileSyrup outlines some of the most notable movies and TV shows that recently hit Canadian streaming platforms.

Our ‘Streaming in Canada’ column typically focuses on new content from Amazon Prime Video, Crave and Netflix, but other services like Apple TV+ and Disney+ are mentioned when relevant. Premium video-on-demand (PVOD) platforms are also fair game as movies continue to come to digital early.

Finally, we’ll highlight shows or movies that are made by Canadian companies, involve notable Canadian cast or crew and/or are filmed in Canada.

Amazon Prime Video

Citadel [Amazon Original]

Amazon Prime Video Canada release date: April 28th, 2023 (first two episodes, new episodes every Friday)

Citadel was created by Josh Applebaum (Alias), Bryan Oh (Zoo) and David Weil (Hunters) and stars Richard Madden (Game of Thrones), Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Quantico), Stanley Tucci (Spotlight) and Lesley Manville (The Crown).

It’s worth noting that with a rumoured budget of $300 million USD (around $408 million CAD), Citadel is believed to be the second most expensive series ever made, behind only Prime’s own The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Citadel is also intended to be a launchpad for an interconnected universe of international shows set in Italy, India, Spain, and Mexico.

It’s unclear where PlayStation’s ‘Twisted Metal’ TV show will stream in Canada

Video streaming service Peacock just released the first teaser trailer for the new action-comedy series Twisted Metal based on the hit video game franchise of the same name.

The series is set to feature Anthony Mackie, Toronto’s Will Arnett and Richard Cabral, among others, and all ten episodes will premiere exclusively on Peacock in the U.S. on July 27th. It’s unclear where the TV show will stream in Canada given that Peacock isn’t available here.

MobileSyrup reached out to PlayStation Canada regarding Twisted Metal‘s Canadian streaming home, and we were told that the company has nothing to share right now.

The new teaser trailer can be found below:

The TV series is based on the classic PlayStation car combat video game, where players control over-the-top demolition derby vehicles with the goal of destroying other racers in a ‘Twisted Metal tournament.’ The titles are notorious for their wacky and unhinged characters, such as Sweet Tooth, a clown with a flaming head, metal-armed maniacs and even the grim reaper himself.

Twisted Metal is set to follow John Doe, “a motor-mouthed outsider” that must drive through a post-apocalyptic wasteland to complete his mission and survive the raid of destructive vehicles. It’s based on a story written by showrunner and executive producer Michael Jonathan Smith and will be produced by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

The trailer shows off a bit of what viewers can expect from the upcoming show, teasing the different cars and characters. In a tribute to ’90s nostalgia, the trailer is accompanied by Canadian band Len’s one-hit-wonder “Steal My Sunshine” (remember that one?).

Following the success of other video game adaptations like The Last of Us and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Twisted Metal will be looking to pull in similar results or, at the very least, satisfy fans’ desire for pure motor carnage when it releases.

“Toxic” work environment plagues Severance season 2 production

Apple TV+’s critically acclaimed drama series, Severance, is facing significant delays in the production of its second season due to a falling out between two of the show’s writers.

As revealed by Puck News, Dan Erickson and Mark Friedman “ended up hating each other” before the completion of the first season, resulting in a “toxic” work environment.

Erickson, who is a first-time series creator and wrote the pilot episode, and Friedman, a seasoned writer-producer with credits including AMC’s Dispatches From Elsewhere and Fox’s Wayward Pines, had a rocky working relationship from the start. Although Friedman reportedly intended to leave before Season 2, he was convinced by fellow director Ben Stiller to stay after failing to find someone to replace him.

According to Puck News, unfortunately, the toxicity and issues that plagued the production of Season one continue to persist, with script issues and a ballooning per-episode budget cited as the primary concerns.

Apple is already considering two additional seasons for the show, which shows a mysterious company — Lumon Industries, whose employees undergo a procedure that separates their memories between their work and personal lives.

Beau Willimon, the creator of House of Cards, has been quietly brought in to assist with Season two and beyond. Season one of Severance, which debuted in February 2022, ended in April of that year. It’s currently uncertain when the second season would drop.

The Office is coming to Crave in Canada in May 2023

All nine seasons of the U.S. version of The Office are coming to Crave on May 1st.

Bell announced the news as part of its larger breakdown of new May content. The beloved NBC sitcom has been a staple on Netflix for years, with the streamer paying millions to retain the rights. However, NBC paid half a billion dollars to pull the series from Netflix to stream on its own Peacock platform in 2021. In Canada, where Peacock isn’t available, The Office has continued to stream on Netflix.

It’s unclear how this new Crave deal might affect The Office‘s availability on Netflix. It’s worth noting that there is no “last day to watch on Netflix” message for The Office, while Crave also isn’t claiming it’s the “new Canadian home” of the series as it has with the likes of Friends. MobileSyrup has reached out to Netflix to confirm that The Office will remain on its service beyond May 1st and will update this story once a response has been received.

This wouldn’t be the first time a series has streamed on multiple platforms. Last year, the fifth season of The Handmaid’s Tale was released on Crave as usual in addition to Amazon’s Prime Video. It’s possible NBC has a similarly loose licensing agreement with The Office.

Where to stream Scream VI in Canada

Ghostface is back.

Scream VI, the latest entry in the popular, long-running Scream slasher franchise, is now available to watch at home, six weeks after hitting theatres.

Helmed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (2022’s Scream), Scream VI follows Sam (Melissa Barrera), Tara (Jenna Ortega), Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and Chad (Mason Gooding) as they leave Woodsboro for New York City, only to encounter a new Ghostface (once again voiced by Roger L. Jackson).

Courteney Cox once again appears as Gale, while Hayden Panettiere reprises her Scream 4 of Kirby. Joining the cast, meanwhile, are Toronto’s Henry Czerny and Brantford, Ontario’s Devyn Nekoda. It’s also worth noting that the film was shot in Montreal.

If you missed Scream VI in theatres or simply want to rewatch the acclaimed gorefest, you’re in luck. The film is now available to stream exclusively on Paramount+ in Canada and elsewhere. Paramount+ costs $9.99/month. It’s worth noting that Wes Craven’s original four Scream movies are also on Paramount+, although the fifth film is only on Netflix.
