CanCon @lemmy.ca StillPaisleyCat @startrek.website US Trailer - SurrealEstate season 2 will premiere October 4th, Syfy (US), no confirmation yet of CTV Sci-fi Channel and European Syfy release dates or Canadian trailer

Here’s something to fill some gaps in your viewing schedule. While not science fiction, this show could appeal to SNW fans and deserves a bigger audience.
SurrealEstate is a Canadian live-action supernatural drama with a light leavening of horror, produced for CTV Sci-Fi Channel, and picked up Syfy. The first season also ran on Hulu in the US after its linear run. It was canceled by Syfy US, then uncanceled when it got picked up by the Syfy channels in Europe.
It’s quirky, full of gentle ironic humour, in the way Canadian shows can be. Tim Rozon of Wynonna Earp stars along with Sarah Levy of Schitt’s Creek. Melanie Srofano (Captain Betel in SNW) directed two episodes in the first season and was reportedly back to do more.
Similar to SNW, SurrealEstate mainly episodic with light serialization coming from character arcs. It has a generally positive vibe, with a team of intriguing and diverse characters solv

CanCon @lemmy.ca StillPaisleyCat @startrek.website CanCon getting more primetime US profile - Shifting schedules - linear and streaming release dates are beginning to be pushed back in response to WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

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.

CanCon @lemmy.ca Tired8281 @lemmy.ca Has anybody else watched Plan B on CBC Gem?
gem.cbc.ca Plan B | Shows | CBC GemPlan B offers clients the chance to travel back in time to change the past, but each alteration has unintended consequences, revealing the complexity and limitations of personal agency.
Am I the only one? I haven't seen anybody talking about this show, and although it started off slow, it blew me away by the end.

CanCon @lemmy.ca oneofthemladygoats @lemmy.ca The Red Green Show is streaming for free!
ICYMI, the entire Red Green series is available for free on a couple of platforms- Youtube linked here, it's also available on Tubi (a free streaming platform), and I believe I saw mention it's on Pluto as well but I haven't checked out that service yet. A Canadian classic!

CanCon @lemmy.ca Zathras @lemm.ee Favorite Canadian entertainment
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/701073
Hello from your southern neighbor. I am a huge fan of Kids In the Hall, Corner Gas, Strange Brew, etc.. While these are older shows and movies I still have a great appreciation for Canadian humor in all entertainment mediums. I am surprised I haven't come across a community for discussing Canadian entertainment or something thereof. As I am not as versed as many on the subject I would be hesitant to create a community myself, but would enjoy having one to participate in and find new shows and whatnot. Just something to think about. Eh?
