![Streaming in Canada on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Crave and Netflix [Oct. 16-22]](https://earth-news.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/68167-streaming-in-canada-on-amazon-prime-video-apple-tv-crave-and-netflix-oct-16-22.jpg)
Every week, MobileSyrup outlines some of the most notable movies and TV shows that 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+ will be mentioned when relevant. Premium video-on-demand (PVOD) platforms are also fair game as movies continue to come to digital early.
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.
