On Thursday, August 27, 2026, Netflix hosted a special preview screening of CREW GIRL at the TIFF Lightbox, with the red carpet and after party taking place at The Amsterdam Brewhouse in Toronto.
Guests travelled in an Easton Prep school bus to the after party, where they were immersed into the world of Eagle’s Cove – the warm wooden interiors, nautical accents, and pennant flags gave partygoers the experience of an east-coast prep school rower entering the clubhouse for the first time.
Cast & Creatives in attendance included Showrunner, and Executive Producer Vivian Lin, along with cast Miku Martineau, Sam Braun, Kyle Clark, Sage Linder, Riley Davis, Jarrett Carlington, Olga Petsa, and cast members from BET, Finding Her Edge, and Ginny & Georgia.
Crew Girl premieres globally on Netflix Thursday, September 10, 2026.
ABOUT CREW GIRL
LAUNCH DATE: September 10, 2026
SYNOPSIS: Sixteen-year-old Teagan Tao (Miku Martineau) was a rising star in single sculls rowing until a family scandal capsized her future. Forced to relocate with her mom (Jessica Paré) to the East Coast, Teagan starts over at the prestigious Easton Prep, where she’s not just an outcast but stuck aground – there’s no girls’ rowing team. Her only way to the water is to take the helm of the school’s notoriously dysfunctional boys’ varsity crew as their coxswain.
Thrust into a world of old money and brutal competition, Teagan must find a way to lead a team that doesn’t want her and somehow bring them together. As she juggles her own rowing ambitions, the demands of the boys’ crew, and her family’s escalating complications, she also finds herself unexpectedly caught in the orbit of the team’s two most competitive rivals: the arrogant team captain, Josh Regis (Sam Braun), and the quiet but intensely driven underdog, Cam Dillinger (Kyle Clark).

Dakota Fanning, Jake Johnson, and Cory Michael Smith star in THE SUN NEVER SETS, an emotional drama about love, relationships, and the complicated, funny, and sometimes painful ways we try to figure out what we truly want.
Wendy (Fanning) believes she’s perfectly happy in her relationship with Jack (Johnson), an older man who is divorced and has children. But when Jack insists they take a break to make sure Wendy is truly comfortable giving up on the idea of marriage and having children, she begins to question what she wants for her future. At the same time, Wendy unexpectedly runs into her ex, Chuck (Smith), who is back in town and reignites her carefree and spontaneous side…and suddenly seems ready to start a family of his own.
As Wendy, Jack, and Chuck navigate a chaotic and confusing relationship triangle, THE SUN NEVER SETS explores the messy realities of love and the difficult choices that come with figuring out what (and who) we truly want.
The film reunites director Joe Swanberg and Jake Johnson, longtime collaborators who sought to preserve the spirit of their previous work together while taking on something grander and more expansive. The film was shot on 35mm on location in Anchorage, Alaska.
Joe Swanberg has directed more than 20 feature films, including HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRS, DRINKING BUDDIES, and HAPPY CHRISTMAS. THE SUN NEVER SETS marks his 10th feature to premiere at SXSW, where it debuted earlier this year. The film brings Swanberg’s signature intimate and realistic approach to relationships into the expansive landscape of Alaska.
THE SUN NEVER SETS will be released in Canadian theatres by Mongrel Media September 4, 2026 in Toronto and September 18, 2026 in Vancouver,
