JANUARY 16 – Crave Original Docuseries NARCO MENNONITES *Premiere*
The all-new three-part docuseries tells the unbelievable story of a Mennonite family that transformed a quiet Canadian town into the epicentre of a North American drug empire. For decades, a quiet Mennonite farming community in Canada hid a secret no one saw coming: a family-run drug empire stretching from rural Ontario to the mountains of Chihuahua, Mexico. NARCO MENNONITES uncovers the astonishing rise of the Harms family, the original architects of the “Mennonite Mafia,” and the violent new generation that followed. Through insight from insiders, traffickers, and pursuing law enforcement, the series reveals how a peaceful religious community became an unexpected pipeline for cartel power. Produced by McGillivray Entertainment Media in association with Last Word Entertainment, all three episodes are available for streaming on Friday, Jan. 16.
JANUARY 18 – HBO Original Series A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS *Premiere*
A century before the events of GAME OF THRONES, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros… a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey), and his diminutive squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell). Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends. The HBO Original half-hour drama series A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS debuts Sunday, Jan. 18 at 10 p.m. ET, with subsequent episodes streaming Sundays at 10 p.m. ET.
JANUARY 19 – THE ABNORMAL BEAUTY COMPANY *Documentary Premiere*
Directed by early DECIEM team member Aref Mahabadi, the film offers unprecedented access to the origins of one of beauty’s most influential movements, examining how founder Brandon Truaxe, alongside his team, challenged convention, rewrote the rules of an industry, and built a brand that changed consumer expectations worldwide. Described by critics as having “dripped with courage,” THE ABNORMAL BEAUTY COMPANY explores the originality, conviction, and creative risk-taking that powered The Ordinary’s rise, and the human complexity behind building something truly disruptive.
