✔️ 2022-04-03 00:08:00 – Paris/France.
Every week, MobileSyrup outlines some of the most notable movies and TV shows that have recently hit Canadian streaming platforms.
Our section " Streaming in Canada” generally focuses on new content from Amazon Prime Video, Crave and Netflix, but other services like Apple TV+ and Disney+ will be mentioned where appropriate. Premium video-on-demand (PVOD) platforms are also fair game, as movies continue to come to digital at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Finally, we'll highlight shows or movies that are made by Canadian companies, involve notable Canadian cast or crew, and/or are filmed in Canada.
