#FIRSTLOOK: NEW TRAILER FOR “POWER BALLAD”

Today we get a new Trailer for POWER BALLAD, which will premiere next month at The Departure Festival + Conference!

Genre: Musical, Comedy
Directed by: John Carney
Cast: Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu, and Jack Reynor
Synopsis: When Rick (Paul Rudd), a past-his-prime wedding singer, meets fading boy-band star Danny (Nick Jonas) during a gig, the two bond over music and a late-night jam session. But when Danny turns one of Rick’s songs into the hit that reignites his career, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves – even if it means risking everything he cares about. From writer-director John Carney (Sing Street, Once), POWER BALLAD is a feel-good story about music, self-respect, friendship, and the price of ambition.

#HOTDOCS: “ANTIDIVA: THE CAROLE POPE CONFESSIONS” OPENS HOT DOCS 2026

Hitting select Canadian theatres this summer and premiering on documentary Channel, Sunday, July 19. 2026 at 9 pm ET, and on CBC Gem Friday, July 24.

DIRECTED & WRITTEN BY: Michelle Mama
PRODUCED BY: Michelle Mama, Bill Taylor, Allison Grace

Antidiva: The Carole Pope Confessions is a raw, rollicking portrait of Carole Pope—music icon, provocateur, and queer trailblazer whose fearless voice and unapologetic sexuality reshaped rock ‘n’ roll. From the underground grit of 1970s Toronto to opening for David Bowie, Pope’s incendiary lyrics and magnetic presence shattered expectations of what a woman, let alone a lesbian, could be onstage.

More than a music doc, Antidiva is a time capsule of queer resistance and chosen family, charting Pope’s creative symbiosis with Kevan Staples, her complicated relationships, and the bittersweet realities of aging in an industry that sidelines outsiders. Through archival treasure, electrifying performances, and present-day vérité, director Michelle Mama captures Pope’s contradictions: tough yet tender, jaded yet vibrantly alive.

Featuring k.d. lang, Peaches, Jann Arden, and Rufus Wainwright, Antidiva stands as a battle cry for self-expression, queer joy, and the artists who refuse to be tamed.

Commissioned by documentary Channel, Antidiva: The Carole Pope Confessions is a GAY AGENDA film in association with Here’s The Thing Productions, with distribution by Motion 58. The film was made possible with the support of the Canada Media Fund POV Program, the Ontario Creates Film Fund, the Hot Docs-Slaight Family Fund, Telefilm Canada Theatrical Documentary Program and the Rogers Documentary Fund, in association with CBC and documentary Channel.

#FIRSTLOOK: “HALLOWEEN BAKESHOP” AND “HOLIDAY BAKESHOP” BEGIN PRODUCTION

Corus Entertainment’s Flavour Network, the nation’s #2 lifestyle network, has announced the start of production on the second season of the Canadian original series Halloween Bakeshop (7×60) – last year’s #1 freshman lifestyle series*, and Holiday Bakeshop (7×60). Hosted by Lauren Ash, these seasonal baking battles bring fun, festive flair and fierce competition, with eight talented bakers competing for sweet victory and a $25,000 prize. Produced by Nikki Ray Media Agency in association with Corus Studios for Flavour Network, Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop are shooting in Toronto and slated to premiere in fall 2026.

Host Lauren Ash is an actress, comedian and musician, best known for her roles in NBC’s Superstore and ABC’s Not Dead Yet. Hailing from Toronto, she is a Canadian Screen Award and Canadian Comedy Award-winner. James Beard nominated chef, baking entrepreneur, and TV personality, Kareem “Mr. Bake” Queeman returns to join Lauren on the judging panel, alongside new addition Colin Asuncion, a talented baker and media personality.

“As the home of Canada’s leading lifestyle networks, Corus Entertainment is proud to announce season two of Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop. In their debut seasons, these Canadian original series connected strongly with audiences, delivering showstopping seasonal competition filled with heart and humour,” said Rachel Nelson, Vice President of Original Programming and Head of Corus Studios. “Corus remains committed to intentional and focused commissions that champion homegrown talent while delivering best-in-class content. Both series feature an exceptional cast of bakers and are produced in collaboration with our valued partners at Nikki Ray Media Agency.”

“We are very excited for Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop to return for new seasons that build on everything audiences loved the first time around,” said Tanya Linton, Co-CEO and Executive Producer, Nikki Ray Media Agency. “Lauren, Kareem and our new addition, Colin are helping us raise the heat in the kitchen, so viewers can expect the bakes to be bigger, bolder, and more delicious than ever.”

In both Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop, eight skilled bakers enter a fun-filled, high-stakes competition where their creativity and technical expertise are pushed to the limit. Each week, they race against the clock to complete two themed bakes, and at the end of each episode one baker is awarded a prize while another is sent home. In the thrilling finale, the final three competitors will craft their ultimate Halloween or holiday bakeshop masterpieces, but only one will rise to the top and savor the sweet taste of victory!

Additional details on the second seasons of Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop will be announced at later date.

Halloween Bakeshop and Holiday Bakeshop are produced by Nikki Ray Media Agency for Flavour Network. For Nikki Ray Media Agency, Mike Sheerin and Tanya Linton are Executive Producers, and Jennifer Pratt is Co-Executive Producer and Series Producer. For Flavour Network, Debbie Brown is Executive in Charge of Production, Lynne Carter is the Director of Original Programming, and Rachel Nelson is VP of Original Programming and Head of Corus Studios.
