Amazon Prime Video will release three new original series this month in Canada – including horror anthology Them, comedy Franke of Ireland, and dark comedy Made for Love.
The final season of fan-favourite Younger also debuts this month along with two new films Stowaway and Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse.
Premiering this Friday, April 9 is the all-new Amazon original horror anthology Them from Little Marvin and Lena Waithe, which explores terror in America. The first season, “Covenant,” is set in the 1950s and centres around a Black family who moves from North Carolina to an all-white Los Angeles neighbourhood during the period known as ‘The Great Migration.’ The family’s new home becomes ground zero where malevolent forces threaten to taunt, ravage and destroy them. The cast of Them season one includes Deborah Ayorinde, Ashley Thomas, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Alison Pill, and Meldoy Hurd.
Launching in Canada on Friday, April 16 is the HBO Max dark comedy Made for Love. Cristin Milioti (Palm Springs) stars as a thirty-something woman on the run after a 10-year suffocating marriage. The series also stars Billy Magnussen and Ray Romano. Read more about here.
