Each week, MobileSyrup outlines some of the most notable movies and TV series that have recently hit Canadian streaming platforms.
Our ‘Streaming in Canada’ column typically focuses on new content from Amazon Prime Video, Crave and Netflix, but other services like Apple TV + and Disney + are mentioned when relevant. Premium video on demand (PVOD) platforms are also fair game, as movies continue to be digitized early in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Finally, we would like to highlight shows or films made by Canadian companies, involving notable Canadian cast or crew and / or filmed in Canada.
