Disney+ Announces First Canadian Originals

Exciting news for Disney+ fans in Canada! The streaming platform is expanding its international originals portfolio and venturing into the world of Canadian Originals for the first time ever. Two new Canadian series are set to join the Disney+ lineup: Knighted and I’m Not Coming Back.

Knighted, a documentary-style series, follows the story of a local dinner theater and is being developed by Bruce McCulloch, Jackson Rowe, and Mike Mildon. With eight episodes scheduled, this comedy promises to be a unique and fun addition to the platform. McCulloch shared his enthusiasm, saying, “I am so happy to be part of the first Canadian series for Disney+.”

On the other hand, I’m Not Coming Back is a more serious docu-series that delves into one of the biggest manhunts in Canadian history, related to a tragic event from 2019. This series, produced by Joe Tuck and directed by Brent Hodge, aims to go beyond the headlines and showcase the vastness of Canada in a cinematic way.

These Canadian Originals join the diverse lineup of international content on Disney+, including K-dramas and Latin American originals. Have a favorite international series?
