What's new on Canadian streaming & TV in June 2022?

New programming coming to Canada in June, including "Ms. Marvel", "Irma Vep", "The Lake", and much more.

Hello there! It's time for our monthly summary of notable new programming coming to streaming services and TV channels in Canada. This also serves as the May 30, 2022, edition (#69) of our weekly newsletter, This Week in WCIW.

Just as a reminder, as mentioned last week, we will be taking the next few weeks off for travel, which means that updates to the site will be intermittent from now until late June, with our next newsletter most likely being sent out on Monday, June 27.

The other, more usual reminders: This is not intended as a complete list, but where practical we will provide links to fuller information. While we do mention a few reality and documentary shows and the like, our main focus is on notable scripted programming.

Prices are listed by WCIW for convenience, and are subject to change by the providers. Listed prices do not include any applicable sales taxes, which vary by province. The web version of this post may be updated occasionally during the month, though we cannot commit to updating everything that might be added or changed.

Netflix

Netflix costs between $9.99 and $20.99 per month in Canada, depending on the number of streams and picture quality you need.

Netflix Canada posts its monthly listings on social media, including Twitter and YouTube. Where necessary, we've cross-referenced against other reports.

Because of the sheer amount of content Netflix releases each month, we've typically been more judicious with the number of items listed compared to other services, so we encourage you to consult the full lists if you're waiting on a specific program.

New programs are normally released at 3:00 a.m. ET (midnight PT) on the date indicated, unless otherwise noted.
