Also picks up all 12 seasons of the iconic Canadian comedy series
Bell Media’s Crave announced last week it will be the exclusive streaming home of last year’s Trailer Park Boys feature-length movie, Standing on the Shoulders of Kitties: The Bubbles and the Shitrockers Story, beginning June 6.
Crave also announced all 12 seasons of the classic mockumentary-style TV comedy series will drop on the streaming platform on May 30.
The Trailer Park Boys series originally debuted in 2001 on Showcase, where it ran for seven seasons before being picked up by Netflix in 2014 after a seven-year hiatus.
Created by Mike Clattenburg and filmed in Nova Scotia, Trailer Park Boys follows the misadventures of a group of residents living in fictional Sunnyvale Trailer Park. The series stars Mike Smith as Bubbles, Robb Wells as Ricky, and John Paul Tremblay as Julian.
The fourth movie in the franchise, Standing on the Shoulders of Kitties, not directed nor written by Clattenburg, stars Smith, Wells and Tremblay and follows Bubbles and his band The Shitrockers as they land a European tour opening for Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters.
“With Randy (Patrick Roach) as their roadie, they head to Prague but soon get kicked off the tour, busking to survive. Can Ricky and Julian come to the rescue?” reads a Bell Media press release announcing Crave’s acquisition of the movie and series.
Trailer Park Boys joins Crave’s growing collection of classic comedies, which includes Friends, The Office, The Big Bang Theory, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, and Frasier.
