🇨🇦 Canada
The Playing Field
Opening this weekend, TMDB’s Canada pull is lighter: Tuner. Treat that as a baseline rather than a complete local-programming truth; Toronto and festival-adjacent slots may move faster than the data does.
Still going strong includes Backrooms, Obsession, The Mandalorian and Grogu, Michael, The Sheep Detectives, Mortal Kombat II, and The Devil Wears Prada 2.
