2026-2027 CANADIAN PRIME ORIGINAL CONTENT SLATE

Complètement dans le champ (Heels in the Hay)

Host and cast details will be announced at a later date. Commissioned by Amazon MGM Studios and produced by Trio Orange.

Hometown Giants

Michael Bublé and Drew Scott step into the unpredictable world of junior hockey as part-owners of the Vancouver Giants, where teenage players chasing a shot at the NHL face constant pressure, sacrifice, and life-changing decisions - knowing every practice, shift, and hit could make or break their future.

LOL: Qui Rira Le Dernier? Season 5

The six-episode French-language hit show is back, and this time host Patrick Huard invites former standout players for a rematch.

Young Farts Trailer Parts (formerly known as Trailer Trash)

It's finally time for the world to get to watch small-town brothers Jagger and Dawson Glowatsky in this comedic six-episode unscripted reality series. Between outrageous schemes, chaotic stunts, and big-hearted hijinks, these brothers chase one wild idea after the next - all for the love of their family and the multi-million-dollar empire they're building by buying beat-up RVs, cashing in on salvaged treasures, and turning trailer trash into a fast-growing, profit-fueled business. Executive produced by Jacob Tierney (Heated Rivalry, Letterkenny, Shoresy), the series is set in Vegreville, Alberta, and showcases the brothers' entrepreneurial spirit and larger-than-life personalities. These unlikely business masterminds have gone viral with millions of views on TikTok, where they have amassed over 300 thousand subscribers.
