Streaming in Canada on Prime Video, Apple TV+, Crave and Netflix [May 30-June 5]

Premium video on demand (PVOD) platforms are also fair game as movies continue to come to digital early amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

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

The Boys (Season 3) [Amazon Original]

One year after the events of Season 2, Hughie, Butcher and The Boys work for the government until they learn about a potential superweapon that could take down the increasingly unhinged Homelander.

Based on Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s comic series of the same name, The Boys was developed by Eric Kripke (Supernatural) and stars Karl Urban (The Lord of the Rings trilogy), Jack Quaid (Vinyl), Antony Starr (Banshee), Erin Moriarty (Marvel’s Jessica Jones), Laz Alonso (Avatar), Tomer Capone (Hostages), Mississauga, Ontario’s Nathan Mitchell (iZombie) and Jensen Ackles (Supernatural). It’s worth noting the series was filmed in Toronto, while Vancouver’s Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (Superbad) served as producers.

Amazon Prime Video premiere date: June 3rd, 2022 (first three episodes, new episodes every Friday)
Genre: Superhero
Runtime: Eight episodes (around one hour each)

Stream The Boys here.

Note: I don’t usually include my own opinions on what’s featured in each Streaming in Canada column — mostly because there’s just too much to watch! But I have seen the first five episodes of The Boys Season 3, and I’m happy to say it’s just as good as ever. The first few episodes are perhaps a bit slower-paced than one might expect from the show, but it’s all in service of taking the time to get into the headspace of our characters amid the new status quo.

Of course, this means we see more of Butcher’s (Karl Urban) struggles to work with the government and Homelander’s (Antony Starr) ever-fragile mental state, and both remain fantastic in their respective roles. (Seriously — Homelander is one of the best characters in any superhero story ever.) But I was especially pleased to see Hughie (Jack Quaid) and Kimiko (Karen Fukuhara) get satisfying and emotional beats. I’m also intrigued to see what Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy brings to the mix. All around, The Boys is as sharp as ever, and a must-watch even if you’re not normally a fan of superheroes. Oh, and you’ll never see Ant-Man the same way again.

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