Streaming in Canada on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Crave and Netflix [July 18-24]

Every week, MobileSyrup outlines some of the most notable movies and TV shows that have recently hit Canadian streaming platforms.

Our ‘Streaming in Canada’ section generally focuses on new content from Amazon Prime Video, Crave and Netflix, but other services like Apple TV+ and Disney+ are mentioned where relevant. 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.
