What's new on Crave in March 2020?

Updated March 23 with pandemic-related scheduling changes.

Here's a look at what programming is coming to and leaving Bell Media's Crave and Starz pay TV and streaming services in March 2020.

You can verify this information on Bell Media's press site, but we've annotated and resorted some of the information for ease of reference based on packaging and programming source.

Programming is listed roughly chronologically based on first airings this month. Dates and times listed are for on-demand streaming availability unless otherwise noted. Airtimes on the Crave / HBO linear channels may vary.

As a reminder, Crave programming is divided into four tiers. For those subscribing directly through Crave.ca, Crave's base package costs $9.99 (all prices per month and before applicable taxes), Movies + HBO and Super Écran (French-language movies) are each an additional $9.99, and Starz is $5.99, with a one-week trial for new direct subscribers. Prices may vary when subscribing through a TV service provider. We don't have monthly programming information for Super Écran at this time, but much of the available programming and their release dates are typically similar to those in Movies + HBO.

Movies + HBO

*Indicates programs initially available only on the HBO Canada linear channels (which are available in the "on air" section of Crave's streaming apps). Crave sometimes refers to these as "live". Axios and LWT are pre-recorded, but they are usually taped or finalized that day due to their topicality, so Crave doesn't get an advance feed. Instead the HBO linear channel relays the program directly from HBO U.S., and the program is processed for on-demand availability later.
