Although Bell Media's Crave streaming service has not yet published a full listing of new programming coming in August 2020, the service has already begun promoting a few movies and series which will be available beginning that month.

Update (July 23): Crave has now posted their August listings on Bell Media's press website. We won't be republishing the full list here, but we've updated some details about notable programming below.

As a reminder, Crave has a base on-demand package which costs $9.99 per month (all prices before applicable sales taxes) when ordered directly from Crave's website. The Movies + HBO add-on is an additional $9.99/month, and Starz is a further $5.99/month.

Movies

As usual, most premiere or recent theatrical movies are part of Crave's Movies + HBO add-on. This is except for Bombshell and The Quarry which will be available in the Starz add-on instead. (These two films are distributed by Lionsgate, which also owns the Starz brand and supplies much of Starz Canada's series programming.)

Starz also carries a large rotation of classic films which are listed in the full press release linked above.

  • Jojo Rabbit (2019 film written and directed by Taika Waititi) – Saturday, August 1
  • An American Pickle (HBO Max original film starring Seth Rogen) – Thursday, August 6

While we've decided that WCIW will no longer be doing the kinds of exhaustive coming-and-going lists you can already find elsewhere (including Crave's own press releases), we will update this post with additional details as developments warrant.

Significant updates
