Quotes:
Danielle Woodrow and Tara Woodbury, Directors, Content – Canada: “When Carley first entrusted us with her captivating book, we knew we had to find the right team to deliver to her passionate fanbase. Developing this project with Dane, Linsey and Sphere has been a dream and we couldn’t have found better partners to bring this love letter to both Toronto and Prince Edward Island to the screen.”

Carley Fortune: “I fell in love with Prince Edward Island first in the pages of L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables and again when I visited with my best friend in my early twenties. That vacation, the beauty of the island, the warmth of its people, and the friendships that sustain us—are the foundation of This Summer Will Be Different. I’m thrilled to bring this sweeping love story to the screen with Netflix and to transport audiences to the glittering shores and windswept beaches of PEI.”
Netflix and Sphere previously partnered on the limited series thriller, Wayward, which spent five weeks on the global top 10 and reached number one in 35 countries.

Today, GRAMMY® Award-winning English rock titans MUSE announce their forthcoming tenth studio album, The WOW! Signal, out June 26 via Warner Records — find the track list below, and pre-order and pre-save HERE. The announcement was truly out of this world, with MUSE launching the news from space! In partnership with Sent Into Space, the band sent a specially-designed tablet 33km up into the atmosphere to premiere the “Be With You” video, while a second package carried stickers for a limited-edition vinyl release to be claimed by fans.

The WOW! Signal marks MUSE’s first album since 2022’s acclaimed Will Of The People – which premiered at #1 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums. Inviting us to dive headlong into the new album’s world, MUSE are sharing the massive opening salvo of a lead single, “Be With You,” alongside a scene-setting official music video starring Ella Balinska (Resident Evil, The Occupant). Listen HERE and watch HERE. 

“Be With You” opens on a huge, humming church organ and Matt Bellamy’s equally epic vocal as he zooms in on a heavy moment: “It seems my light’s been swallowed up, I’ve used up every ounce of luck / I need to leap into the fire, find a higher power, and reach for something new.” But soon enough, the track ignites into driving electronica and, eventually, searing rock as the narrator’s perspective shifts from dejection to resolve: “I feel my life has just begun, it can’t just be with anyone / It’s got to be with you.”

Directed by Nico Paolillo (Deafheaven, BAD OMENS), the “Be With You” video brings this galvanizing moment to life in stunning cinematic detail. As a red halo clings to the moon, Balinska begins to notice odd phenomena and seems pulled out into the night by some greater force. She eventually meets a man moved by the same strange energy, and together they witness a beautiful and terrifying phenomenon.

The WOW! Signal takes its name from one of the most compelling interstellar mysteries of the last century: a powerful 72-second radio burst detected in 1977 originating from the constellation Sagittarius with a bandwidth and intensity that suggested a possible extraterrestrial source. The astronomer who discovered the anomaly famously circled the now-iconic sequence “6EQUJ5” and wrote “WOW!” on the printout beside it — giving the signal its name and cementing its place in scientific and pop-culture lore.

While “Be With You” is only our first glimpse into The WOW! Signal, the common themes between the song and this phenomenon speak to the forces powering MUSE’s new album: a mix of cosmic mystery, existential hope, and the exhilarating possibility of contact with something far greater than ourselves.

Zootopia 2 is racing ahead on Disney+, hopping to 32M views globally in its first seven days, making it the #1 film on Disney+ during its premiere week. Its arrival on service builds on the enduring popularity of the franchise: together, Zootopia, Zootopia+, and Zootopia 2 have been streamed over 885 million hours globally to date.

The film’s strong debut on Disney+ follows in its huge theatrical pawprint. It shattered box office records, becoming the highest-grossing animated Motion Picture Association (MPA) release of all time with $1.9 billion worldwide, ranking as the eighth highest-grossing film ever. The sequel’s success continues the legacy of the original Zootopia, which captivated fans around the globe and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2017.

The world of Zootopia has expanded beyond the screen as well. In 2023, the Shanghai Disney Resort opened the first Zootopia-themed land, introducing guests to the Mammalian Metropolis and bringing the beloved animal residents of the film to life. Its signature attraction, Zootopia: Hot Pursuit, is the highest-rated attraction at Shanghai Disneyland, with one in four guests stating they came to the park specifically for the land. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, the park also rapidly integrated new content inspired by Zootopia 2, debuting the film’s latest Gazelle song with one of the newest Audio-Animatronics just weeks after the film’s theatrical release. Plus, guests go wild for the food too – over 4.8M Disney Zootopia Pawpsicles (480 tons of ice cream!) have been sold to date.

The animated feature has also sparked strong fan engagement across consumer products and global retail, igniting viral demand for collectibles, blind boxes, and collaborations with brands such as Pop Mart, Miniso, Tony Moly, and Uniqlo. On DisneyStore.com, the iconic Zootopia carrot pen sold out twice – once at launch and again after restocking.

Fans can jump into the action with Judy and Nick and watch every adventure in the Zootopia Collection on service.

On March 20, 2026, the world marks Macaron Day, an annual tribute to one of France’s most technically demanding and visually captivating confections. In Toronto, the day belongs to Nadège Pâtisserie and its founder, Chef Nadège Nourian, who’s regarded as the city’s macaron authority.

More than 17 years ago, Chef Nadège was among the first to introduce authentic French macarons to Toronto, helping shape the market long before the confection became a trend. For over a decade, Nadège Pâtisserie has set the standard: refined, precise and uncompromising in texture. Here, the macaron is not an accessory. It is a signature.

A macaron is composed of two almond meringue shells sandwiched around buttercream, ganache or jam. Crisp on the outside, tender and slightly chewy within, it is made from finely ground almond flour, egg whites and sugar. Its ingredient list is simple. Its execution is not. Humidity, temperature and technique determine whether a macaron succeeds or fails, making it a true measure of pastry mastery.

A brief history
Though often associated with Paris, the macaron’s origins trace back to Italy before being refined by French pastry chefs into the filled version we know today. It has since become a global emblem of French pastry savoir-faire.

At Nadège Pâtisserie, each macaron delivers a delicate crunch that gives way to flowing layers of flavoured buttercream, ganache or jam. Flavours rotate regularly, balancing timeless classics such as vanilla and pistachio with seasonal and contemporary profiles that reflect Toronto’s evolving palate.

TIFF Next Wave Film Festival presented by Takis® and supported by the Ontario Arts Council and the City of Toronto returns April 16–19 for its 15th edition, featuring a weekend of youth-driven international cinema curated by TIFF’s youngest programmers, the TIFF Next Wave Committee. Tickets to Official Selection films are free for anyone under 25 with TIFF’s Under-25 Free Pass, with special Under-25 pricing available for special events. Tickets will be available March 25 for TIFF Members and Under-25 Free Pass holders, and to the public on March 27.

The weekend kicks off with the Canadian Premiere of Chandler Levack’s Roommates starring Sadie Sandler, Chloe East, Billy Bryk, Sarah Sherman, Natasha Lyonne, and Nick Kroll, followed by Oscar Boyson’s Our Hero, Balthazar starring Jaeden Martell and Asa Butterfield. Both screenings are followed by director Q&As.

This year’s festival spotlights nine feature films from seven countries alongside Q&As, interactive workshops, and special events including the highly-anticipated opening night party.

“Next Wave Film Festival is helmed by our next generation for a new generation,” says Anita Lee, Chief Programming Officer, TIFF. “The Next Wave committee curates with fresh eyes, bringing original and thoughtful new voices to the screen, and young audiences bring inspiring dialogue and passion.”

The TIFF Next Wave Committee is made up of 12 teens from across the GTA who are dedicated to introducing their peers to boundary-pushing international cinema. Beyond curating the Next Wave Film Festival each April, the committee meets at TIFF Lightbox year-round to program the monthly “Next Wave Presents” series – a lineup curated for the next generation of movie lovers.

For 15 years, Next Wave has supported the next generation of filmmakers, writers and programmers, with alumni including filmmaker Emma Seligman (Shiva Baby, Bottoms), actors Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel) and Emma Cheuk (Late Bloomer, Mile End Kicks), programmer and critic Winnie Wang (Toronto Review), and dozens of the city’s most enthusiastic and passionate film fans.

“This year’s Next Wave Film Festival lineup emphasizes self-expression through passionate, diverse, and DIY modes of storytelling and provides a platform for rising voices who thoughtfully disrupt conventions and embrace experimentation. We want the festival to be a place for the celebration of life in motion and the chaos that comes with growing up in this current moment. There is something for everyone at Next Wave, and we can’t wait for it to bring new opportunities for conversation, connection, and discovery.” —TIFF Next Wave Committee 2025-2026

The festivities begin with Battle of the Scores, a high-energy live showcase in which four up-and-coming bands compose scores for a silent short film, with the audience voting for the winner. Co-programmed by Insomniac Film Festival, this year’s competition features musical acts Ceippo, LAPDANCE, Soulair, and Tribunals. The films being scored are Missed U (dir. Ella Saini) and Rent is Due (dir. Alex Dombek). The Opening Night Party, themed “Motion Blur,” promises a larger than life, immersive celebration.

The festival closes with the Young Creators Showcase, a short film programme highlighting emerging Canadian filmmakers, with juried awards for Best Film, Best Cinematography, Best Writing, and Best Editing, presented by MUBI.

New this year, the Drop-in: Young Creators Launch Pad runs alongside the Young Creators Showcase, offering emerging creators the opportunity to connect one-on-one with post-secondary schools, film organizations, and industry experts for practical advice and feedback on their projects and creative careers.

In celebration of the milestone 15th edition, Creators on a Wave brings alumni back to the screen with a programme of new short films from past Young Creators Showcase filmmakers and Next Wave Committee members, including Katherine Lynn-Rose, Paul Daniel Torres, Ellie Tripp, and Presley Flores-Holz, the winner of last year’s Young Creators Showcase Award for Best Film, who is now a 2026 Next Wave Committee Member.

Festival-goers can participate in the Young Creators Co-Lab, a series of talks and workshops connecting budding artists with industry professionals, and introducing pathways to careers in film. This year’s sessions include Music in Motion with R.T. Thorne, Ievy Stamatov, and Nathan Lau, Costume in Conversation with Hanna Puley, Courtney Mitchell, and Charlene Akuamoah, Aesthetic Overload: Finding Your Visual Style with Avalon Fast, Thomas Percy Kim, and Stella Marie Markert, and drop in workshop: Camera Obscurities. The Young Creators Co-Lab is presented by the City of Toronto.

Also returning to Next Wave is Canada’s Drag Race star Miss Moço, hosting a participatory screening of High School Musical 3: Senior Year.
