A place to discuss all forms of Canadian entertainment, including but not limited to television shows, movies, animation, books, music, and theatre.

This community is new and very much a work in progress!

Community Rules:

  1. No hate speech or bigotry. A zero tolerance policy is in effect for this.
  2. CanCon is historically defined by the funding (did you know Porky's was the highest grossing Canadian film for decades because of this definition?!). Please feel free to be a bit more liberal in that regard here- if the majority of people involved are Canadian, if the stories are Canadian, if the setting/plot/tropes are Canadian, etc., it's all welcome here!
  3. Crossposts are welcome, but please identify them as such in your post title.
  4. Be nice, and remember the human.

The markers of the strikes’ impacts are beginning to appear.

CTV Sci-Fi Channel/Syfy’s SurrealEstate may not have been on your radar, but it’s one of the first cable announcements pushing back a premiere date (from ‘summer’ to late October). It’s a quirky and fun show that deserves the profile of a peak fall run.

We’ve also seen announcements of Canadian network shows (e.g., Kids Ruin Everything) being picked up by CW and other US linear platforms as they try to fill their schedules. Much the same happened when COVID stopped production, and shows from Canada and elsewhere were given a chance to break into American markets.
