More about the newly added titles:

NORTH OF NORTH (seen above) – A young Inuk woman wants to build a new future for herself after a spontaneous — and extremely public — exit from her marriage. But it won’t be easy in a small Arctic town where everybody knows your business. This Canadian show was filmed in Iqaluit and Apex.

BLACK MIRROR S7 E1 – The first episode of season 7 focuses on a medical emergency that leaves schoolteacher Amanda fighting for her life, her desperate husband Mike signs her up for Rivermind, a high-tech system that will keep her alive – but at a cost. This dark and satirical episode was filmed in Vancouver and Surrey.

THE RECRUIT – CIA Lawyer, Owen Hendricks, pulled into a life-threatening espionage situation in South Korea, only to realize that the bigger threat just might be coming from inside the Agency. This show is filmed in and around Burnaby and Vancouver.

MILLION DOLLAR SECRET – This new competition show is a game of wit, cunning and deception. Twelve strangers enter a sumptuous lakeside estate and in each of their rooms is a mysterious welcome gift — a box. Eleven of them are empty and one contains $1,000,000, and it’s for that guest to keep — as long as they keep their identity hidden. Devilish games will reveal clues about the millionaire’s identity, and they must do whatever it takes to keep their ‘Million Dollar Secret’. This new show was filmed in Kelowna and Golden.

They’re back! Counterfeit Pictures and Crave today announce that production is underway on Season 2 of the hit Crave Original comedy series, THE OFFICE MOVERS. Created by and starring Brampton-born content creators and brothers Jermaine “Jae” and Trevaunn “Trey” Richards, the new season is filming in and around Toronto through the end of June and will feature six new half-hour episodes.

Season 1 introduced viewers to the Saunders brothers, Everett (Jae) and Eric (Trey), who run a dysfunctional office-moving company, reluctantly following in their father’s footsteps. Season 2 picks up where they left off, with Everett and his unreliable crew hustling to compete with Zenithon Logistics, a corporate giant set on crushing every small-time mover in the city. But after overpaying for a new warehouse—complete with a new, oddball landlord—Everett turns to a series of increasingly desperate money-making schemes to stay afloat. He drags Ricky into an explosive insurance scam, pressures Carla to fudge a DEI grant application, and bankrolls Cousin Cloudy’s half-baked attempt to convert their basement into a short-term rental unit. As his plans unravel, Eric starts to question his loyalty—and whether Zenithon might offer a smoother ride.

“We’re hyped to be back for Season 2! This season takes everything we built in Season 1 and cranks it up – more chaos, more schemes, and way more laughs. We’ve got some wild storylines and amazing talent coming back, plus a few more surprises we can’t wait for people to see. Shooting in Toronto and telling stories that reflect where we’re from means a lot to us. Let’s get moving!” – Jae & Trey Richards, creators and stars of THE OFFICE MOVERS.

Reprising their roles for Season 2 are the talented ensemble cast, including digital creators and comedians: Heather Gallant as Carla Morris, Lucas Lopez as Ricky, Marina Nedic as Trisha Roosevelt, Hassan Phills as Hassan Ahmed, Andy Agyepong-Ntra (WatswithAndy) as Cloudy, Michael Charles as Marcus Adeyimi, Solomom Kehinde as Michael, and Baldeep Sehmbi as Prince.

Joining the cast this season are Danny Martinello as Shazam’s newest hire Doug, Gervail Sean Lemo as Shamez, Shazam’s new landlord, ZlamDunk as Zlad, the bad boy son of Zenithon’s CEO, and Marlon Palmer as Carla’s love interest Chrisss.

Ranked among Crave’s Top 20 titles during its release week*, the first season of THE OFFICE MOVERS was created by Jae and Tre– who became household names through their YouTube channel, Jae & Trey Vlogs. Season 1 generated millions of views and impressions across social and digital platforms. All episodes are now streaming on Crave, with behind-the-scenes content available on Crave’s YouTube page, and on @CraveCanada and @TheOfficeMovers.

THE OFFICE MOVERS is produced by Counterfeit Pictures in association with Crave. The series is created by brothers Jermaine and Trevaunn Richards, who also serve as executive producers, along with Clara Altimas and Counterfeit’s Dan Bennett, Shane Corkery and Anton Leo. Season Two will see Sebastian Cluer and Clara Altimas directing. Counterfeit’s Chris Kelley will serve as producer. For Bell Media: Rachel Goldstein-Couto is Head of Development, Original Programming; Mike McShane is Director, Digital Development, Original Programing; Alexis McLaren is Production Executive; Sarah Fowlie is Head of Production, Original Programming; Carlyn Klebuc is General Manager, Original Programming; Justin Stockman is Vice-President, Content Development & Programming.

Heads of State premieres globally on Prime Video July 2, 2025 and today we get a new Teaser for this Action-Comedy starring John Cena, Priyank Chopra Jonas and Idris Elba!

● The film is an action-packed comedy about the U.S. President (played by John Cena) and the UK Prime Minister (played by Idris Elba), who must set aside their rivalry to thwart a global conspiracy and save the world — if they can work together.

● The film is a global adventure blending explosive action and sharp comedic banter that takes audiences on the run and for a thrilling ride.

● The film combines fast-paced action sequences and creative stunts with a heavy dose of nostalgia fit with all of the 90s charm of the golden era of buddy action comedies.

● This film is helmed by Ilya Naishuller, the filmmaker behind Hardcore Henry (2015) and Nobody (2021).

● The film features an all-star ensemble cast including Idris Elba, John Cena, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, Stephen Root, Sarah Niles, Richard Coyle and Paddy Considine.

ABOUT HEADS OF STATE

In the action-comedy Heads of State, the UK Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba) and U.S. President Will Derringer (John Cena) have a not-so-friendly and very public rivalry that jeopardizes their countries’ “special relationship.” But when they become the targets of a powerful and ruthless foreign adversary—who proves more than a match for the two leaders’ security forces—they are begrudgingly forced to rely on the only two people they can trust: each other. Ultimately allied with the brilliant MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), they must go on the run and find a way to work together long enough to thwart a global conspiracy that threatens the entire free world. The film also stars Paddy Considine, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid and Sarah Niles and is directed by Ilya Naishuller.

20th Century Studios has just released the first trailer for “Predator: Badlands,” the newest entry in the “Predator” franchise, directed by Dan Trachtenberg (“Prey”). “Predator: Badlands” opens exclusively in movie theatres on November 7, 2025 in IMAX, 4DX, ScreenX, and premium screens everywhere.

“Predator: Badlands,” which stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, is set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator (Schuster-Koloamatangi), outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary. The film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg and produced by John Davis, Dan Trachtenberg, Marc Toberoff, Ben Rosenblatt, Brent O’Connor.

Prime Video today unveiled the trailer for the upcoming Amazon Original documentary, The Sexiest Man in Winnipeg. The film chronicles the extraordinary true story of Steve Vogelsang, a charismatic former sports anchor who transformed from local celebrity to bank robber, sending shockwaves through the Canadian Prairies. The Sexiest Man in Winnipeg will premiere in Canada on Prime Video on May 9, 2025.

When a polite robber carries out a series of odd bank heists, the police investigation takes a sharp turn—pointing to Steve Vogelsang, a garrulous former broadcaster once known as “The Sexiest Man in Winnipeg.” Set against Winnipeg’s frozen streets and familiar faces, Vogelsang’s fall echoes like a news story you can’t quite forget. As the case deepens, a more complex story emerges—one about identity, ego, and the slow unraveling of a man who once had it all.

The documentary is directed by Acadamy Award nominated filmmaker Charlie Siskel (Finding Vivian Maier) and Ben Daughtrey, who also edited the film. Vespucci and Electric Ave produced the film, with Bridie Bischoff, Aaron Barnett, Charlie Siskel, Ben Daughtrey, serving as executive producers, and Johnny Galvin, Daniel Turcan, Will Arnett and Marc Forman serving as producers. The story is based on an unpublished article, written by award winning writer Jordan Michael Smith, who is also a co-producer on the film. The documentary joins the critically acclaimed and award-winning slate of Canadian Amazon Original series and films including TIFF 2024 People’s Choice Documentary Award winner The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal and TIFF 2023 People’s Choice Documentary Award and Canadian Screen Award-winner Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe, Faceoff: Inside the NHL, The Sticky, Luxe Listings: Toronto, LOL: Qui rira le dernier?, Three Pines, Saving Sakic, All or Nothing: Toronto Maple Leafs, The Kids in the Hall, The Lake, LOL: Last One Laughing Canada, and The Unsolved Murder of Beverly Lynn Smith.

Since 2015, Amazon MGM Studios has commissioned over 60 Amazon Original series and films in Canada, including The Man in the High Castle and Upload in British Columbia; The Boys, Reacher, and The Expanse in Ontario; Tales from the Loop in Manitoba; as well as parts of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, The Sticky, Three Pines, and The Voyeurs in Quebec.
