The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.

ABOUT THE SERIES

A love letter to the ‘80s classic genre films that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is a thrilling drama set in the seemingly normal Midwestern town of Hawkins, Indiana. After a boy vanishes into thin air, his close-knit group of friends and family search for answers and are pulled into a high-stakes and deadly series of events. Beneath the surface of their ordinary town lurks an extraordinary supernatural mystery, along with top-secret government experiments and a dangerous gateway that connects our world to a powerful yet sinister realm. Friendships will be tested and lives will be altered as what they discover will change Hawkins and possibly the world — forever.

Created by The Duffer Brothers, Stranger Things debuted in 2016 and quickly became one of Netflix’s most popular television series ever, with its fourth season alone amassing over 140.7M views globally. Rooted in ‘80s nostalgia, it boosted Kate Bush’s track “Running Up That Hill” into the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time in its 38-year history. The series has also garnered over 70 awards worldwide including Emmys® and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, and has been nominated for over 230 awards. The highly anticipated fifth and final season will release later this year in three volumes at 5PM PT: four episodes on November 26, three episodes on Christmas and the finale on New Year’s Eve. The beloved franchise offers fans various ways to engage with the cultural phenomenon year-round, including: the Olivier and Tony-award winning stage play, Stranger Things: The First Shadow; a collection of books takes fans deeper into the story; the touring Stranger Things: The Experience which recently expanded to Brazil and Australia; Stranger Things: Escape the Dark; a brand new immersive experience set to open at Netflix House later this year; Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85, an animated series that will take fans back to Hawkins; fans celebrate November 6 — the day Will Byers went missing — as ‘Stranger Things Day;’ and they can follow @StrangerThings.Things for fun ways to bring the world into their everyday lives.

Q WITH TOM POWER: TANTOO CARDINAL AND CHRISTIAN ALLAIRE

10 a.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio and CBC Listen

For more than five decades, and across more than 100 TV, film and theatre roles, Tantoo Cardinal has worked to bring nuanced Indigenous characters and stories to the stage and screen.

Also on Q — As a kid growing up in Nipissing, Ontario, Christian Allaire dreamed of being part of the glamorous world that he saw in his mother’s Vogue magazines. Now, he’s the senior fashion and style writer for Vogue, and he writes about that journey in his new memoir From the Rez to the Runway. Allaire will speak with Tom Power about how fancy dress and powwow regalia was his very first introduction to fashion, the racism he encountered throughout his time in the fashion industry, and how he embraced his Ojibwe identity as his cool factor.

The world knows the image of the good Canadian. But what if there was a dark secret behind a national identity? THE GOOD CANADIAN explores the idea of a True North strong and free. In this unflinching and eye-opening documentary, directors Leena Minifie and David Paperny move us through the corridors of systemic inequity, from the Indian Act to residential schools, to modern-day family separation. Fusing shocking footage with detailed interviews with experts, advocates, whistleblowers and politicians, THE GOOD CANADIAN challenges national myth-making, while offering Canadians the chance to forge a new identity from the truth.

Host Falen Johnson sets the stage for journalist Dawna Dingwall and Leticia Racine to travel back to southwest Manitoba — where they both grew up — and their journey to try and piece together how Leticia ended up at the centre of precedent-setting court case, and the mark it made in her life.

It has finally happened. The Canadian Opera Company has invited Danie Friesen, Alexander Hajek and Claire Elise Harris, otherwise known as Opera Revue, to perform at their Free Concert Series.

October 14, 2025
Noon
(doors open at 11:30 AM admittance will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis)
Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre, Four Seasons Centre
145 Queen St W, Toronto

“We are truly honoured to perform at the COC’s noon hour concerts. The chance to sing for aficionadoughs…we mean aficionados (see our pizza opera) is something Opera Revue has been aspiring to since our inception. We normally perform in casual settings like bars, nightclubs like The Rivoli (opera’s got range!) to raucous, hooting and hollering audiences, so to perform in the glorious acoustic that is the Four Seasons Centre is a treat for us. Are we intimidated by the prestige of Canada’s only opera house? Not a chance! You’d best believe we’re still gonna do what we do: bring the fun back to opera,” said Soprano Danie Friesen.

“Could events like Opera Revue’s be opera’s greatest hope for survival?”
-Joshua Chong, Toronto Star, Dec 2022

“Three musicians put the fun back into opera.”
-Dawn Martens, Opera Canada, Aug 2024

“The genius of Opera Revue’s project: to upend one’s expectations by throwing you off your little pedestal so that they can put you onto something else. This is their vaudevillian way of things.”
-Nirris Nagendrarajah, OperaWire, Nov. 2024

Opera Revue’s mission is to circumvent the stigmas and barriers that block many from hearing live opera music. Over five years, through accessible, fun, and affordable performances in Toronto bars including Granite Brewery, Castro’s Lounge, Drom Taberna, The Drake Hotel and The Emmet Ray, Opera Revue have built a generationally diverse community that includes opera lovers, opera performers, and the opera curious. They have also created unique shows for a number of larger live music venues, including a 2024 residency at the Redwood Theatre, and shows at The Dakota Tavern and Revival.

They were recently commissioned by Dr. Oetker to compose and create a one-act opera, Suprema: The Opera for Aficionadoughs, which was performed free for the public at TD Music Hall over three weekends in July to launch the company’s new Suprema line of pizzas.

Opera Revue have not gone unnoticed by the press. In addition to being the cover story for OPERA CANADA, they’ve been covered by CBC National, Global News, Toronto Star, CBC’s Day 6, CBC’s Fresh Air, Opera Wire, Ludwig van Toronto, BlogTO, and they sang Christmas carols on CTV Your Morning on December 24, 2024

ABOUT OPERA REVUE
Opera Revue began with the question “Why does opera get such a bad rap?”. And they came up with several answers: It’s expensive. You have to dress up. It’s snobby. You can’t drink, except during intermission. You can’t talk. It’s snobby. You can’t get up and move around. And it’s snobby.

So, that’s what they have set out to change. Opera Revue is a great way to introduce opera to people who have never seen it before, as well as a new way for opera lovers to enjoy it. By performing opera and art song in a casual bar setting, audiences can feel comfortable to talk, drink, and to share the experience with those around them. The goal is to take away the exclusive nature of opera and make it accessible for all.

Opera Revue was founded in 2017 by soprano Danie Friesen. Pianist Claire Elise Harris joined the company in 2018, and baritone Alexander Hajek rounded out the team in 2021. Through monthly opera performances, Opera Revue has built a generationally diverse community that mixes opera lovers, opera performers, and the opera curious, with new young audiences finding it fun rather than daunting. During the Covid-19 crisis, Opera Revue put out weekly comedic operatic parody videos online to connect with their community digitally, while drawing in new audiences.

The chilling trailer for the Hulu Original “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle” from 20th Century Studios’ a hauntingly modern twist on the classic film, is now available to download and share. The psychological thriller from director Michelle Garza Cervera, starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Maika Monroe, will premiere October 22, 2025 exclusively on Disney+.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead stars as Caitlin Morales, an upscale suburban mom who brings a new nanny, Polly Murphy (Maika Monroe), into her home, only to discover she is not the person she claims to be. “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle” also stars Raúl Castillo, Martin Starr, Mileiah Vega, Riki Lindhome, and Shannon Cochran, and is written by Micah Bloomberg based on a screenplay by Amanda Silver. The producers are Michael Schaefer, Mike LaRocca, and Ted Field, and the executive producers are Michael Napoliello, Maria Frisk, and Seth William Meier.

Out Standing, by director Mélanie Charbonneau (Fabulous), had its World Premiere this September at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The film boasts a stellar cast that includes Nina Kiri (Handmaid’s Tale) as Sandra Perron, Vincent Leclerc (Allen Sunshine), and Enrico Colantoni (Humane, English Teacher).

In 1995, after returning home from a peacekeeping mission in Croatia, Captain Sandra Perron—Canada’s first female infantry officer—stuns the military by resigning abruptly. When a disturbing photo surfaces of her tied to a tree in uniform, apparently unconscious, questions spiral. Pursued by journalists and a relentless military investigation, Sandra is thrust into a reluctant journey to confront buried traumas and the true cost of loyalty and sacrifice. Refusing to label herself a victim, she reveals a story of fierce courage and resilience, uncovering the battles fought within her own ranks. Based on a powerful true story of endurance against the odds.

From Maggie Gyllenhaal (Academy Award-nominated writer/director of The Lost Daughter) and starring Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley and Academy Award winner Christian Bale comes THE BRIDE! A bold, iconoclastic take on one of the world’s most compelling stories.

A lonely Frankenstein (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening) to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride (Buckley) is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!

The film stars Buckley, Bale, Peter Sarsgaard, with Bening, Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, and Oscar winner Penélope Cruz. Maggie Gyllenhaal directs from her own screenplay and produces alongside Oscar nominee Emma Tillinger Koskoff, Talia Kleinhendler and Osnat Handelsman Keren. The executive producers are Carla Raij, David Webb and Courtney Kivowitz.

Gyllenhaal is supported behind the camera by a team of award-winning film artisans, including director of photography Lawrence Sher, production designer Karen Murphy, editor Dylan Tichenor, music supervisor Randall Poster, composer Hildur Gudnadóttir and costume designer Sandy Powell.

Warner Bros. Pictures Presents A First Love Films / In The Current Company Production, A Maggie Gyllenhaal Film: THE BRIDE!. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, only in theatres and IMAX® in North America on March 6, 2026, and internationally beginning 4 March 2026.

Today, Prime Video unveiled the season two trailer for FACEOFF: Inside The NHL, the docuseries produced by Box To Box and NHL Productions. The second season of the critically acclaimed docuseries launches October 3 on Prime Video and continues to give unprecedented access to the National Hockey League’s biggest teams and most compelling characters, all at different stages of their careers. All six episodes will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

FACEOFF: Inside the NHL season two takes fans behind-the-scenes with athletes who display an extraordinary blend of skill, determination, and sacrifice required to excel in one of the world’s most demanding sports. See Sidney Crosby, Anže Kopitar, Seth Jarvis, BradMarchand, William Nylander, Brady Tkachuk, Matthew Tkachuk, Zach Werenski and more NHL stars in a way you’ve never seen them before.

EPISODE1: Brady Tkachuk starts this season with big skatesto fill as the little brother of the reigning Stanley Cup Champion, Matthew Tkachuk. He ends the season as a face of the NHL, a father, and his own man.

EPISODE 2: The hockey world experienced unimaginable devastation over the summer with the untimely deaths of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew. This episode is about how those closest to Johnny Hockey – his wife, Meredith Gaudreau, and teammates Sean Monahan and Zach Werenski – redefine what it means to be a family, a team, and a community in the face of tragedy.

EPISODE 3: Two of the league’s biggest superstars (Sidney Crosby and Anže Kopitar) let us into their world with intimate access in a pivotal 2024-25 season. As we see them fight Father Time in their own way, Quinton Byfield represents the next generation of superstars, eager to learn from his elders and leave the league better than he found it.

EPISODE4: Brendan Shanahan’s master ‘Shanaplan,’ years in the making, is finally coming to fruition thanks to his star forward, William Nylander. This playoff-centric story allows us to witness the Toronto Maple Leafs beat their in-Province rival from Ottawa and clash with the reigning champion from Florida in the second round. If they don’t deliver this season, changes could come for the team Brendan grew up rooting for.

EPISODE5: Seth Jarvis is supposedly too small, too unserious, and out of place in the NHL. His team, the Carolina Hurricanes, have been on the verge of greatness for years – but they keep falling short. ForSeth and the Hurricanes, the 2024-25 season is about proving that they indeed are good enough.

EPISODE 6: The ‘Rat Kings’ of the Florida Panthers are bigger, louder, and nastier than ever—and now Matthew Tkachuk and Brad Marchand are on the brink of hockey immortality. In the shadow of last year’s heartbreak, Zach Hyman and the Edmonton Oilers are back on hockey’s biggest stage—facing the same villains, the same wounds, and the same question: Can they rewrite the ending?

The series is executive produced by James Gay-Rees and Paul Martin, co-founders of Box ToBox, Steve Mayer for NHLProductions, and Daniel Amigone.

Prime Video is also the home of Prime Monday Night Hockey, which will stream all national regular season Monday night NHL games in English throughout the 2025-26 season, and NHL Coast to Coast, the weekly whiparound show on Thursday nights. Prime Monday Night Hockey and NHL Coast to Coast are available exclusively for Prime Members in Canada.

Noble Television producers Frank Fiorito and Nabil Mehchi and Rane Films producer Sami Tesfazghi announced that the highly anticipated documentary MICHELLE ROSS: UNKNOWN ICON, directed by award-winning filmmaker Alison Duke (Bam Bam: The Sister Nancy Story) will premiere as part of CBC’s The Passionate Eye on Wednesday, October 8, 2025 at 9PM (9:30 NT) on CBC and CBC Gem. A screening event is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, October 7 at the Paradise Theatre in Toronto to celebrate the film and Michelle Ross’ legacy.

“At the heart of this film is a delicate balance between two worlds: Michelle’s family life and the queer community where she reigned as a performer,” said Alison Duke. “When someone is compelled to live their life in fragments, we need to ask why and confront the impact it has on all of us. For me, the film is a testament to the power of discovery, the resilience of the human spirit, and the courage to see beyond the masks we wear.”

Long before drag became a staple of pop culture, Michelle Ross made her indelible mark as a powerhouse – dominating and defining the Black queer drag scene in Toronto and beyond. To her community, she was a dazzling trailblazer; to her family, she was Earl Barrington Shaw — or simply “Barry.” It wasn’t until Michelle’s sudden death in 2021, when her brother was called to the coroner’s office and told, “Do you know who this is? This person is royalty,” that her family claims to have discovered the hidden life and legacy she had built.

That revelation shattered what Michelle Ross’ family thought they knew, revealing a legacy built in secret and carried by those who knew her best. Told through intimate interviews, archival footage, and the symbolic recreation of Michelle’s house as a miniature dollhouse, the film explores the emotional architecture of a person who lived between worlds.

The film is produced with the support of CMF, The Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit, Manitoba Film & Music and Sodec and in collaboration with the CBC. For CBC, Sally Catto is General Manager, Entertainment, Factual, & Sports; Jennifer Dettman is Executive Director, Unscripted Content; Sandra Kleinfeld is Senior Director, Documentary; and Michelle McCree is Executive in Charge of Production, CBC Docs and The Passionate Eye.

The Reelworld Film Festival+Summit marks a historic milestone in 2025 as it celebrates its 25th anniversary of spotlighting all their directors who are 100% Canadian Black, Indigenous, Asian, South Asian, and People of Colour talent from across Canada. Over the past 25 years, Reelworld has become a vital cultural institution, advancing equity in Canada’s screen industries while showcasing the extraordinary artistry of diverse filmmakers and storytellers. This year’s edition, running from October 14–19, will bring together seven days of in-person screenings, keynote speeches, industry panels, fireside chats, pitch opportunities, awards presentations, and networking events that highlight both the creativity and resilience of Canada’s screen community. The Festival continues online from October 20–26, offering a week of virtual screenings along with a dedicated day of digital workshops and panel discussions.

The celebrations begin with the Reelworld Summit on October 14 and 15, 2025 at the Courtyard by Marriott Toronto Downtown (475 Yonge Street). The Summit is a hub for knowledge-sharing and change-making, featuring leading voices from across the industry in conversations that explore urgent issues facing Canada’s screen sector. From discussions on equity and representation to the impact of new technologies, the Summit provides a platform for creatives, executives, and policymakers to engage in dialogue that will shape the future of Canadian storytelling.

“As I mourn the death of Robert Redford, a man I did not know personally, but through his work in creating Sundance, I was inspired to create Reelworld”, says Tonya Williams Founder and Executive Director, “I reflect on what started out as a dream quickly became 25 years of showcasing outstanding talent from Canada’s diverse communities, giving voice to those who no one heard, and expanding Reelworld to have year-round training, giving Indigenous and racialized creatives, executives and crew a place they could call home – a place of belonging. Reelworld not only nurtured creatives, but worked to have the entire screen industry extend its table to include all. As the global audience changed, its desire to see itself on the screen increased to the point when companies could no longer ignore the power of that audience. Our silver anniversary is both a reflection on how far we’ve come and a promise of what’s ahead. This year, we celebrate not only the incredible artistry of our filmmakers but also the resilience of an industry still striving for true equity and inclusion.”

OPENING NIGHT FILM: IT COMES IN WAVES

The Reelworld Film Festival follows from October 16–19, 2025 with its much-anticipated Opening Night Film at The Royal Theatre (608 College St), sponsored by TD Bank Group. The remaining screenings will take place at The Paradise Theatre (1006c Bloor St W).

The Festival is thrilled to announce that this year’s Opening Night film is It Comes in Waves, directed by Haitian-Canadian filmmaker and 2024 Reelworld Directors Immersion Program alum, Fitch Jean. A poignant exploration of the immigrant experience, the film tells the story of Akai, a young Rwandan-Canadian navigating trauma, family responsibility, and the legacy of displacement.

“Having ‘It Comes in Waves’ open the Reelworld Film Festival is an incredible honour, especially for a film so deeply rooted in the immigrant experience.” said director Fitch Jean. “Reelworld has always been a beacon for stories that might otherwise go untold, and to kick off the festival with Akai’s journey, a young Rwandan-Canadian navigating trauma, responsibility, and the weight of family legacy, feels like the perfect alignment of story and space. I hope audiences see themselves in these characters’ struggles and triumphs, and recognize that healing isn’t linear; it truly comes in waves. More than anything, I want people to leave understanding that even in our darkest moments, the act of choosing to heal, to seek help, and to break cycles is its own form of courage. This film is for anyone who’s ever had to be strong for others while barely holding themselves together.”

FEATURE FILM SELECTIONS

This year’s feature film program continues Reelworld’s tradition of powerful, boundary-pushing storytelling. Highlights include Have You Heard Judi Singh? by Vancouver-based director Baljit Sangra, which reintroduces audiences to the extraordinary, overlooked legacy of a Black-Punjabi jazz singer from Edmonton; In the Room by Brishkay Ahmed, a moving documentary that follows five Afghan women in exile as they reclaim their voices and fight for their homeland on the world stage; and A Tribe Called Love by Mohamed Ahmed, a contemporary Romeo and Juliet story set in Toronto’s Somali community that boldly blends stylized comedy with sharp social commentary.

Other features include Foreigner by Canadian-Iranian filmmaker Ava Maria Safai, which merges horror and heart to explore assimilation and identity through the story of a Persian teen navigating high school in 2004; Circo by Lamia Chraibi, a poetic portrait of a young Brazilian circus artist on a journey of belonging; and Designed by Preeti by Gayatri Everitt Bajpai, a heartfelt drama about an Indo-American woman who reclaims her life, career, and chance at love after escaping an oppressive marriage.

The lineup also features Montréal, Ma Belle by Xiaodan He, a powerful story of a Chinese immigrant mother in Montreal reckoning with identity and liberation; and Rising Through the Fray by Kanien’kehá:ka filmmaker Courtney Montour, which chronicles the groundbreaking story of Indigenous Rising, the first roller derby team to represent Indigenous peoples at the Roller Derby World Cup. Filmmaker Kent Donguines returns to the Philippines to reconnect with his fading cultural identity through learning about traditional Kalinga tattoos from 107-year-old artist Apo Whang-od in the documentary Treasures of the Rice Terraces.

SHORT FILM SELECTIONS

Alongside its feature films, Reelworld proudly presents 25 short films organized into four distinct thematic programs: A Retrospective of Resilience, Genre Fever, Grief, and Entanglements. The Retrospective Program will feature films from Corey Bowles, Joyce Wong, R.T. Thorne and Supinder Wraich. This year’s shorts showcase a dazzling range of Canadian voices exploring themes of family, justice, memory, and resilience, further cementing Reelworld’s commitment to nurturing emerging talent.

“As someone who’s had the honour of programming with Reelworld for the past five years, it’s been incredible to witness the evolution of storytelling from underrepresented voices across the country.” said Program Director, Safia Abdigir. “This year, alongside programmers Richard Pierre and Aisha Evelyna, we’ve put in the work to thoughtfully scout and curate a lineup that reflects the rising quality, ambition, and urgency of today’s filmmakers”

The Festival will once again honour excellence with its cash awards: $15,000 for Outstanding Feature Film and $10,000 for Outstanding Short Film, alongside categories recognizing Outstanding Actress, Actor, Director, Writer, Cinematographer, and Producer.
