“Our Prime Originals slate represents exactly the kind of stories Prime Video wants to tell – bold, surprising, and unmistakably Canadian,” said Brent Haynes, Head of International Originals, Canada, Amazon MGM Studios. “Whether it’s Michael Bublé and Drew Scott building teenagers into NHL players, an intense survival series where expectations, extremes and moral dilemmas are turned on their head, or revealing the truth behind the hunt for a serial killer, each of these projects is rooted in our unique Canadian perspective. We’re investing in creatives and formats that feel authentic to this country and have the potential to captivate audiences around the world.”
“Everything we do at Prime Video starts with our customers – identifying what they love, what they’re looking for, and where we can offer something they can’t find anywhere else,” added Mark Shopiro, Head of Prime Video Canada. “Canadian customers want to see their stories reflected on screen, and every title in this slate was built with that in mind. Combined with global originals, live sports, acquisition films and series, and add-on subscriptions that give access to even more content, we’re building a complete entertainment destination Canadians choose first.”
