Wondering what to watch on streaming?
Every week, MobileSyrup outlines some of the most notable new movies and TV shows. We typically focus on new content from Amazon’s Prime Video, Crave, Disney+ and Netflix, but other services like Apple TV+ and Paramount+ 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.

Netflix House
While not a new streaming title, this is still worth a mention here. This week, Netflix opened its first-ever entertainment centre, Netflix House, in Philadelphia. Attached to King of Prussia, one of the U.S.’ largest malls, it’s a sprawling venue featuring all kinds of experiences based on Netflix properties, from a One Piece escape room and Wednesday festival games to themed food items and a Squid Game VR game. I got to attend the grand opening and was very impressed by the attention to detail throughout the whole space. Check out my full feature on Netflix House for more.

For what it’s worth, I got to see Train Dreams at TIFF and it was one of my favourite films of the whole festival. It’s a heartwrenchingly beautiful meditation on life and the passage of time anchored around a powerful performance by Edgerton. Highly recommend!
