Prime Video last week announced seven new and returning Canadian Prime Original series during Amazon’s 2026 upfront presentation.
All commissioned by Amazon MGM Studios, the slate includes a six-episode hockey series produced by Scott Brothers Entertainment, Hometown Giants, which follows Michael Bublé and Drew Scott as they step into the world of junior hockey as part-owners of the Vancouver Giants; an eight-episode outdoor adventure competition series Surrender (working title) hosted by Scott McGillivray and produced by McGillivray Entertainment Media; and a three-part true crime documentary series The Pig Farm Killer: Robert Pickton (working title), produced by Fathom Film Group, which features new archives and interviews revealing how the notorious serial killer evaded capture for years as women disappeared from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
New French-language series coming to Prime Video include a seven-episode reality series Complètement dans le champ (Heels in the Hay), produced by Trio Orange, in which a group of urban content creators move to the countryside and face hard labour, culture shock and team rivalries as they compete for a big cash prize; and a two-part documentary Opération déception (Operation Deception), produced by Pixcom, which follows renowned journalist Patrick Legacé and investigative reporter Victor Malarek as they explore how a controversial undercover operation sent Alain Olivier, a drug-addicted Quebec forestry student, to death row in Thailand in 1989.
In addition, LOL: Qui Rira Le Dernier?, hosted by Patrick Huard and produced by Attraction, is returning to Prime Video for a six-episode fifth season plus a three-episode Halloween special edition.
Prime Video also debuted a trailer for Young Farts Trailer Parts, executive produced by Jacob Tierney (Heated Rivalry, Letterkenny, Shoresy) and produced by Lionsgate Canada. Slated to premiere globally on Prime on July 17, this comedic six-episode unscripted reality series is set in Vegrevillle, Alberta, and follows brothers Jagger and Dawson Glowatsky as they try to build a multi-million-dollar empire by buying beat-up RVs, cashing in on salvaged treasures, and turning trailer trash into a fast-growing business.
Prime Video is also expanding its live sports offering for Canadian subscribers with the launch of the NBA on Prime in Canada starting this October as part of an 11-year global agreement. The NBA agreement (which began with the 2025-26 season) includes 66 regular season games, plus the Emirates NBA Cup 2026, all six games from the 2027 Play-In Tournament, exclusive coverage of first- and second-round playoff games, and an exclusive Conference Finals series in six of the 11 years of the deal, starting in the 2026-27 season. Prime Video also expanded its WNBA partnership with an 11-year agreement that includes 30 regular season games, the Commissioner’s Cup Championship, and exclusive postseason coverage including one first-round playoff series beginning this season, plus seven semifinal series and three WNBA Finals over the life of the deal.
“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,” Mark Shopiro, head of Prime Video Canada, said in a press release. “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.”
