I SWEAR is the powerful true-life story of Tourette Syndrome campaigner John Davidson. In a funny and moving account of his experiences, the story follows John throughout his adolescence and early adulthood and explores what was a little known and entirely misunderstood condition in 1980s Britain.

The film was written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Kirk Jones, whose previous work includes Waking Ned Devine, Nanny McPhee, Everybody’s Fine, and What to Expect When You’re Expecting.

Blue Fox Entertainment Canada will release I SWEAR throughout most of Canada, with Immina Films handling distribution in Quebec, while Sony Pictures Classics is releasing the film in the U.S.

I SWEAR is set to arrive in select theatres across North America on April 24, 2026.

Based on Janice Hadlow’s acclaimed novel, the new drama brings Mary Bennet – the oft-overlooked middle sister in Pride and Prejudice – into the spotlight.

As society’s pressures mount, the Bennet sisters navigate the glittering yet precarious world of Regency England, where marriage is both aspiration and necessity. While her sisters pursue romance and social triumph, Mary embarks on a very different path. Leaving Longbourn behind, she travels to London to live with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner, in their elegant home on Gracechurch Street. There, Mary begins a journey of self-discovery, stepping out of the shadows and into her own story. Iconic settings from Pride and Prejudice, include the Meryton Assembly Ball and the Netherfield Ball, where fortunes and futures are decided under glittering chandeliers.

Luminato Festival celebrates twenty years with an extraordinary and action-packed edition running June 3–28, the longest festival in its history. Known for its bold curation of Toronto’s people, places and stories, this iconic summer festival will once again transform the city’s identity through the aptly titled theme of PLAY. The festival will bring together leading Canadian and international artists across myriad art experiences in theatre, circus, dance, opera, music, magic, film, and public art.

Spanning four weeks, Luminato 2026 kicks off June 3 with over 50 free and ticketed events and more than 140 performances at over 25 locations across the city. The festival features over 1,000 artists, eight exclusive Canadian commissions and seven world premieres, lighting up Toronto with art, culture and creativity. We are proud to partner with our presenting and supporting partners, including TO Live as an official partner and co-presenter of five productions of this Festival.

“Luminato is a bright reflection of all that is great about Toronto” says Celia Smith, CEO of Luminato Festival. “After 20 years, I’m immensely proud that our friends and neighbours continue to join us in joyful celebration of this vibrant global city.”

This year’s theme asks us to consider how a festival can truly PLAY its city. Encounter experiences that evoke child’s play using imagination and whimsy; stories that spotlight justice and reconciliation by boldly addressing equal play; and explore the uncertainty of shifting dynamics, the need to win and the imbalance of power play. This year’s programme spans a broad array of conversations designed to inspire, challenge and uplift.

Olivia Ansell, Artistic Director of Luminato Festival, muses, “From playable public art that makes you smile and stare in wonder, hearing breakup stories that mirror the playback tapes of our youth through to discovering the courage of feminists who feigned their own insanity to play for truth. Play one, play all, play on.”

Luminato 2026 creates the ultimate summer playlist that you’ll want to keep on repeat. In Lovin’ You: The Minnie Riperton Story (Canadian commission, world premiere), Juno Award-winner Divine Brown, featuring DJ Starting from Scratch and guest vocalist Glenn Lewis celebrate the timeless soul sounds that have influenced the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, The Fugees, J Dilla, The Roots and Kaytranada. Heartbreak Hotel, a cathartic comedy of breakup ballads, is a weird and wonderful space to sit with heartbreak, share a laugh, and reconnect.

Stages and dance floors alike will entice audiences with the joy of movement. Street and club culture meet with Azzam Mohamed’s Canadian premiere of KATMA, which invites everyone to an immersive, all-ages dance experience. Theatre of Dreams by Hofesh Shechter Company pulls audiences into a manic and surreal dance production where dreams – and nightmares – come to life. A fusion of dance, exhilarating circus and ritual, Nimba celebrates the culture of Guinea (co-presented with dance Immersion in association with TO Live). Canadian commission layers of kin by Angela Vitovec, co-presented with Toronto Dance Theatre, shows the bond between humans and plant life in this invitation into a living forest of movement, sound and physical performance.

Showcasing various playful public art experiences, the Festival will present Liz West’s Anthems to Colour, inviting the public to see the city in a new way through three vibrant sculptures that transform everyday spaces with colour, reflections, and shifting walls of light. Curated by Elder Duke Redbird, The Power of the Land (Canadian commission) is a daylong celebration of water, life, and culture, featuring performances, interactive art, ceremony, and music. Cyril Lancelin’s Pyramid Fields is part architecture, artwork, and playground — a collection of grid-inspired sculptures that will create a striking contrast next to Mies van der Rohe’s TD Centre and Eberhardt Zeidler’s CF Toronto Eaton Centre. Appearing in the TTC, 20 & Extraordinary: Moments in Photos features twenty defining moments from festivals past and reflects on how art, public space, and everyday life intersect.

Luminato comes alive at its free, family-friendly hubs. The returning Luminato @ Harbourfront invites visitors to a weekend of play from June 13 – 14, featuring global rhythms, aerial feats of Camion d’Intervention Artistique (CIART), spectacular aerial duet The Air Between Us by Chloe Loftus Dance, and laughter courtesy of Mal Perdedor (Bad Loser). Musical acts will include Aysanabee, Rashmeet Kaur, Wesli, Orkestar Kriminal, Marta Elena, Boubé, GANNA, Lancelot Knight, and more! Luminato @ Sankofa Square electrifies the city’s busiest intersection with immersive performances and installations on June 12, including Ode to Joy!: Sing with the Symphony (Canadian commission co-presented with Toronto Symphony Orchestra in association with Toronto Mendelssohn Choir), which will immerse Sankofa Square in the power of Beethoven’s Ninth, inviting all to sing among hundreds of voices. Luminato @ Lower Jarvis throws the biggest tailgate party of the season with art, games, and music, co-presented by Choice Properties.

The Festival will present not-to-be-missed theatre experiences. Igniting the power play of gender wars, the award-winning satire Masterclass examines masculinity, sexism, and power in contemporary art. Canadian drag icon Pearle Harbour skewers digital distraction in new commission Pearle Harbour Walks into a Bar, an intimate cabaret bursting with satire, songs, and acid-tongued wit.

NoSax NoClar & Robinson Khoury – MŸA, co-presented with Alliance Française, is a unique blend of global sounds, agile rhythm and electronic in a double bill of France’s modern jazz innovators. In Words to be Scene by Compagnie Dérézo, participants will follow an audio-led journey to six downtown locations, featuring monologues from Canöes by award-winning French author Maylis de Kerangal, co-presented with Institut Français du Canada.

To celebrate our twenty-year milestone, we want to replay some of our favourites from festivals past. The iconic RedBall Toronto by Kurt Perschke returns, moving daily across downtown Toronto to transform public space into sites of shared discovery. Assembled by groundbreaking minimalist composer Philip Glass, The Philip Glass Ensemble performs a seminal programme of early works, excerpts from [AS3] Einstein on the Beach, Koyaanisqatsi, Akhnaten, and more. Hot off a run in 2025, The 52 Live: Stories of Women Who Transformed Toronto, presented by Museum of Toronto returns to animate the City Archives.

Based on true events, Tapestry Opera Production 10 Days in a Madhouse by Rene Orth & Hannah Moscovitch is a psychological opera that follows journalist Nellie Bly as she fakes madness to expose the truth inside New York’s Blackwell’s Asylum (Canadian premiere, co-presented by Canadian Opera Company in association with TO Live). The “always amazing, always entertaining” (David Letterman) legendary magician duo will deliver an unforgettable live experience of mind play in Penn & Teller: 50 Years of Magic (Canadian premiere co-presented with TO Live). Play Dead by People Watching, co-presented with TO Live invites audiences into a distorted world of striking acrobatics and movement.

Luminato Festival is deeply committed to supporting the creation and presentation of bold, original artistic projects and championing artists and new work on Canadian and world stages. In 2026, Luminato Festival is proud to present the 9th annual Industry Series which unites artists, producers, presenters, and decision-makers to engage, exchange, and discover new work across disciplines. As part of the series, Luminato will co-present the inaugural Canadian Festival of New Musicals with The Musical Stage Company and Soulpepper Theatre, showcasing the future of Canadian musical theatre with new works, book and stand readings, and behind-the-scenes conversations. The Wedge Lecture, co-presented with Wedge Curatorial Projects, explores how play has shaped resilience, joy, and freedom across the Black experience, featuring acclaimed artist, photographer, and filmmaker Tyler Mitchell and artist and curator Liz Ikiriko.

Other festival experiences that Luminato Festival is presenting in association with partners, include: Colourful Parachutes: Imagining Alternative Futures Through the Power of Play, presented by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery; King Arthur’s Night (The Film), an Opus 89 Films production presented by AMI, screening presented by Hot Docs and Luminato; Many Beats/One Community presented by Community Music Schools of Toronto.

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.

Today, BritBox announced the second season of Original drama Lynley (8×45’), with production now underway in Dublin. Leo Suter (The Face of Horror, Vikings: Valhalla) returns as DI Tommy Lynley and revealed news of the second season, along with details of new and returning cast members, during an appearance on On the Box: The BritBox Podcast, the new weekly podcast series diving into the very best of BritBox and the TV pop culture shaping screens on both sides of the Atlantic.

Suter stars alongside Sofia Barclay (Ted Lasso), who returns as DS Barbara Havers. The pair reprise their roles as the beloved detective duo from Elizabeth George’s internationally bestselling novels in the drama produced by Playground (Wolf Hall, All Creatures Great and Small).

Deirdre Mullins (Bad Sisters, Trespasses) joins Season Two as Chief Superintendent Isabelle Ardery, the new head of the Three Counties CID. Also cast are Sara Stewart (Transformers, The Last Knight), who plays Countess of Asherton and Lynley’s mother, and Assad Zaman (Interview with the Vampire) as Zain Chaudhry, a charity worker and Havers’ new neighbor. Returning cast members are Daniel Mays (The Thursday Murder Club) as Chief Inspector Brian Nies and Michael Workeye (The Moment) as DS Tony Bekele.

In Season Two of Lynley, the mismatched duo of Detective Inspector Tommy Lynley and Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers return to investigate another series of complex and compelling crimes — from a suspicious death at an elite horse racing estate, to violent protests at a Cambridge university, to a mysterious suicide on an Essex military base. As the cases unfold, Lynley confronts lingering ties to his estranged aristocratic family and the allure of a formidable new Chief Superintendent in the Three Counties precinct. Meanwhile, Havers pursues a newfound independence and ambition that test her professional and personal boundaries like never before. Together, Lynley and Havers continue to build on their hard-earned mutual respect, relying on each other to solve cases that strike dangerously close to home.

Lynley is created, written and executive produced by Steve Thompson (Vienna Blood, Sherlock) with Stewart Svaasand serving as lead director and Christopher Arcache (Bookish, Hotel Portofino) as Series Producer. Executive Producers include David Stern and Colin Callender for Playground; Suzanne McAuley (Magpie Murders, Love/Hate) for Salt Films; Robert Schildhouse, Stephen Nye, Jon Farrar and Jess O’ Riordan for BritBox; Kate Woods for BBC Studios and Sue Deeks for the BBC.

Elizabeth George, the New York Times-bestselling author of the original source material, serves as an executive producer on the series. The Inspector Lynley books have been translated into over 30 languages and adapted into a BBC series, The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, which ran from 2001-2007 and is currently available on BritBox.

Lynley’s second season will premiere on BritBox in the U.S. and Canada and on BBC iPlayer and BBC One (4×90) in the UK. BBC Studios is handling global sales for season one and two.

MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service and production company, unveil the trailer for the acclaimed, award-winning documentary My Undesirable Friends: Part I – Last Air in Moscow, coming exclusively to MUBI globally (excluding Russia & Belarus) on April 3, 2026. Its highly anticipated follow up, My Undesirable Friends: Part II – Exile will also premiere exclusively on MUBI later this year.

Directed and produced by Soviet-born American filmmaker Julia Loktev (The Loneliest Planet, Day Night Day Night) My Undesirable Friends: Part I – Last Air in Moscow is universally hailed as a masterful cinematic achievement. The film had its world premiere at New York Film Festival and its international premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2025.

Moscow, winter 2021. Soviet-born American filmmaker Julia Loktev travels to Russia to document independent journalists declared “foreign agents” by Putin’s regime. Through her friend and co-director Anna Nemzer, a talk show host at TV Rain—the country’s last remaining independent channel—Loktev connects with sharp, warm and funny young women who refuse to stop reporting despite surveillance and legal persecution.

Ksyusha produces stories while her fellow journalist fiancé sits in prison. Anna hosts everyday heroes of resistance while shielding her daughter from escalating threats. Sonya records her “Hi, You’re a Foreign Agent” podcast from her kitchen table, her apartment deliberately bare. Alesya conceals her relationship from her traditional mother while suspecting her office is bugged.

Four months later, Russia launches its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Loktev captures the journalists’ attempts to counter state propaganda until all independent media is shut down and exile becomes the only option.

Structured across five chapters, the film moves between personal intimacy and historical urgency. Oscar-shortlisted and winner of the Critics’ Choice Award at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), My Undesirable Friends: Part I – Last Air in Moscow, offers an essential chronicle of opposition in a totalitarian society—one that grows more globally relevant each day.

Both parts are directed, produced, and shot as a one-woman crew by Loktev with protagonist and co-directorAnna Nemzer, and co-edited by Loktev and long-time collaborator Michael Taylor, ACE (The Farewell). Riva Marker is a consulting producer.
