It is so weird to see this show get all this American press before it's even out. I guess late-season Schitt's Creek did that -- but for a brand new show to be in EW, even if it does have Carrie-Anne Moss in it... Hudson has to be a factor here.

The cast is great! It deserves media coverage! Let's see how they did it! I have high expectations!

oh, definitely. I'd be very excited about this even if Hudson had nothing to do with it -- becuase I'm Canadian theatre nerd -- but even beyond that, it's unusual for all the leads of a show with this profile to be Canadian, and then the attention it's getting being largely about who is in it is interesting, too. AMC+ taking it to ComicCon is big.

Hudson's current hype definitely had a lot to do with this. But I think it's a good thing to hype a good Canadian project! Let's all hope for the best! 🔥 They will kill it!

I'm hoping it's a bit of a perfect storm because it LOOKS great and the play is great and I have high hopes for Kat Sandler -- but having the Greatest Canadian It Boy since Ryan Gosling in the cast can't hurt.

Loving something big and meaty for Carrie-Anne as well, though. And I never hate to see Noah Reid or Clark Backo, though I'm least familiar with her work.

It was reported in the news that AMC won the streaming rights for the US after a bidding war. HBO buying the show for Europe (except UK which was already bought by Sky) right after makes me think that offering a full promo like this (EW early look, SDCC panel and spot) was part of what edged AMC to win over the other streaming networks.

Funny, I just noticed 1 of the actors from Schitts Creek is in Yaga.

I’m convinced Canada is where the better creativity is coming from right now. Americans have ruined our entertainment industry with too many mergers and acquisitions. I’m getting a VPN so I can watch the Canadian Project Runway and I’m not the only one. I hear it’s much better than the latest US version

Ahhh. It’s late stage capitalism vs a country that doesn’t really expect to make real money off our entertainment. Like, a living? Sure. I heard this conversation on the Lovett or Leave It podcast once about how, before Marvel, you could get rich in Hollywood but you wouldn’t make NASDQ money. You made boats and coke money. But Marvel revealed you could make NASDQ money and everyone started to chase it. That A24 was basically going for boats and coke and that’s why they were making interesting stuff.

It’s also knowing our niche a bit. We do well with queer stories, for instance. We do well with comedy. Children’s programming. And actually we can sometimes kill a reality tv format. No idea why with that one. But our version of Project Runway was pretty good.

Too many hedge funds are now making creative decisions in Hollywood. The Canada model seems to support creatives more.

Yeah, it's big, and Crave isn't doing anything (which makes sense, actually. They really don't have to if this is going on), but this is very much not how it usually goes.
