The holidays just got a whole lot funnier. Predictable Holiday Rom-Com: The Musical takes the predictable plot of every Christmas romance movie on Hallmark, Lifetime, and Netflix – and adds 17 hilariously unpredictable songs. With book and lyrics by George Reinblatt (Evil Dead The Musical), and music by Suzy Wilde (After the Rain) and Reinblatt, this all-Canadian comedy is staging a limited engagement sneak peek for two weeks only at the Second City Toronto from November 4th to 16th, 2025

“We’ve taken the exact same Christmas love story you’ve seen in hundreds of TV movies – and turned it into a comedy musical,” said Reinblatt. “And if you’re wondering which holiday rom-com we based this show on… the answer is all of them, since they all basically have the same plot”.

Will the magazine writer who returns to her hometown fall in love with the single dad she bumped into? Of course she will. Will the Christmas tree lot that’s going out of business be saved just in time for the holidays? Obviously. But what makes this show unique is that it mixes that familiar storyline with hilarious pop tunes.

“The songs in this show are equal parts catchy and ridiculous,” said Wilde. “So there’s no better place to debut them than at the Second City”.

Susan Waycik, Managing Producer of The Second City said, “We love the holiday season at Second City, and we’re thrilled to have the amazing show, Predictable Holiday Rom-Com: The Musical, as part of our festive festivities!”

Unlike the usual Second City fare, Predictable Holiday Rom-Com: The Musical is not an improv show. It’s a full-length comedy musical, playing for a limited two-week engagement. So put on your ugliest Christmas sweater, grab an eggnog, and kick off the holidays with this crazy new musical at Toronto’s funniest theatre.

About The Second City

The Second City first brought its iconic improv and sketch comedy to Toronto in 1963 for a week of performances at the Royal Alexandra Theatre. After a decade of sold out shows at the 1200-seat theatre, The Second City established a permanent home in the city with the opening of “The Old Firehall” on Lombard Street. In 1976, The Second City Toronto further solidified its place in comedy history by creating the groundbreaking television show SCTV.

In December 2022, The Second City began an exciting new chapter by relocating to its state-of-the-art facility at One York Street. This move introduced three distinct theatres: The Mainstage, Theatre ’73, and The John Candy Box Theatre, each offering nightly performances that continue The Second City’s tradition of bringing laughter to audiences.

Since making a home in Toronto over 50 years ago The Second City has grown to become the most influential name in comedy launching the careers of countless Canadian comedy legends. Our illustrious alumni list includes names such as Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Gilda Radner, Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Mike Myers, Colin Mochrie, Bob Martin, Jerry Minor, Gavin Crawford, Kevin Vidal, Darryl Hinds, Chris Wilson, Lauren Ash, Ann Pornel, Alan Shane Lewis and so many more.

AI AM CANADIAN: GETTING REAL ABOUT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN CANADA
Whether we notice it or not, artificial intelligence is already part of our daily lives—recommending what to watch, helping screen job applications, curating our news feeds, and even assisting doctors with diagnoses. These systems are quietly shaping how we live, work and connect, becoming increasingly embedded in the routines of Canadians. As AI continues to evolve, how can we better understand the role it plays in our everyday decisions? What opportunities does it create? And what questions should we be asking about transparency, responsibility, and the future of human agency?

TIM WU: THE AGE OF EXTRACTION
Tim Wu—the preeminent scholar and former White House official who coined the phrase “net neutrality”—presents his latest book The Age of Extraction. The story starts with the internet of the 1990s and 2000s that promised widespread wealth and democracy, only to create new economic classes and aid the spread of autocracy. As Wu explores the rise of platform power, detailing the risks and rewards of working within such systems, he frames our current moment with lessons from recent history—from generative AI and predictive social data to the antimonopoly and crypto movements—and envisions a future where technological advances can serve the greatest possible good. Concise and hopeful, The Age of Extraction offers consequential proposals for taking back control to achieve a better economic balance and prosperity for all.

Tim Wu, Law Professor, Columbia University

CRIME STORY x FORGED
CBC Crime Story’s Kathleen Goldhar interviews Forged host Adrian Stimson about what is believed to be the biggest art fraud in the world. The late Norval Morriseau, known as the “Picasso of the North,” is one of the most celebrated Indigenous artists in the world but, in recent years, his legacy has been undermined by a systemic and sordid scheme to manufacture fakes. Stimson, an artist from the Siksika Nation, follows a tip from a rockstar art collector and pulls back the curtain on the origin of the Morrisseau fakes. Travelling from Thunder Bay to Australia’s Northern Territory, this riveting true crime story gets increasingly outrageous as it unravels, while never losing sight of the heart of the story—namely, Morrisseau’s staggering artistic genius. This is a conversation for true crime lovers, artist and anyone who cares about the legacy and future of Indigenous lives.

STILL SINGLE: SCREENING & DISCUSSION
When Chef Masaki Saito became the first of Canada’s chefs to be accorded two Michelin stars, his humorous and brief acceptance speech concluded with “I’m still single. I don’t know why.” A deep-dive into Saito’s world, Still Single is an exploration of his groundbreaking approach to Omakase dining, revealing the intense lifestyle driving his culinary genius. But while the chef’s charisma makes this a delightfully entertaining behind-the-scenes look at a culinary superstar, its juxtaposition with his personal life poignantly highlights that loneliness may be the cost of excellence.

Prime Video has released a first look from the highly anticipated revenge thriller series Kill Jackie starring Oscar, BAFTA and Tony Award winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago, Wednesday), and based on the acclaimed novel The Price You Pay by Sunday Times best-selling author Nick Harkaway, writing as Aidan Truhen (Karla’s Choice, Tigerman).

The first look shot reveals Zeta-Jones as Jackie Price, the glamorous art dealer whose lethal past as an international drug smuggler resurfaces when a squad of the world’s most terrifying assassins, The Seven Demons, come after her.

The image gives audiences their first glimpse of the series’ striking style and high-octane world.

Jackie Price has been living a wealthy, luxurious existence for the last twenty years – travelling the world, selling fine art using sophisticated tax loopholes and, above all, trying to stay anonymous after escaping a dangerous past as an international drug smuggler. But just as life starts to feel a little boring, it takes a sudden lethal turn when she discovers The Seven Demons, a squad of the world’s most terrifying hitmen, have been hired to kill her. Assuming someone from her past is behind it, Jackie unleashes her old instincts and embarks on a wild, dangerous game plan: to take down The Demons one by one before they kill her. However, she soon realizes her own demons are much more terrifying than the ruthless killers on her trail… and her buried secrets ultimately lead her much closer to home, with surprising consequences.

Appearing alongside Zeta-Jones is Daniel Ings (The Gentlemen, I Hate Suzie, Lovesick), Sidse Babett Knudsen (Prime Target, Borgen), Óscar Jaenada (Rambo V, Cantinflas), Hattie Hook (Of An Age, Ten Pound Poms), Darci Shaw (A Thousand Blows, This City is Ours), Raff Law (Masters of The Air, Triton), Enzo Cilenti (Black Mirror, The Crown), Christine Adams (Hijack, Malice), Julian Rhind-Tutt (Britannia, Napoleon), Karlis Arnolds Avots (Soviet Jeans, Lovable), Set Sjöstrand (The Wheel of Time, Valhalla), Tadashi Ito (Society of the Snow, The Platform 2), Sebastian Armesto (Gangs of London, A Small Light), Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh, The Great), Gavin Spokes (House of The Dragon, Slow Horses), Jonathan Cake (And Just Like That, Camping), Bamshad Abedi-Amin (A Town Called Malice, The Last Kingdom), and Bill Paterson (Fleabag, Criminal Justice).

From the creatives behind Killing Eve and Gangs of London, Kill Jackie is an eight-part series co-produced by Fremantle and Steel Springs Pictures and co-created by Conor Keane, Tom Butterworth, Peter Lawson and Damon Thomas. The Executive Producers are Peter Lawson and Jose Augustin Valdes for Steel Springs Pictures, Tom Butterworth, Damon Thomas, Catherine Zeta-Jones with Dante Di Loreto and Jeffrey Levine. The lead Director is Damon Thomas (Killing Eve) with writer and showrunner Tom Butterworth (Gangs of London). Conor Keane co-wrote the TV adaptation and is associate producer. Nick Harkaway serves as executive consultant on the series. José Luis Escolar’s Deabru Kalea Filmeak is supervising production in Bizkaia. The series will be available on Prime Video in the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Canada next year.
