Highlights This Week
- The dark comedy series TWO WEEKS TO LIVE begins streaming on Crave on Thursday, Jan. 7. Produced by Kudos, part of Banijay UK, the series tells a comic tale of love and revenge born from a seemingly harmless prank that goes terribly wrong. Kim Noakes (Maisie Williams, GAME OF THRONES), an early 20-something oddball who, since the murder of her father, has been sequestered away in the wilderness with her doomsday-prepping mother for most of her life. Feeling compelled to go on a belated coming-of-age adventure, Kim sets out to find her dad’s killer and along the way, ropes mismatched brothers Jay (Taheen Modak) and Nicky (Mawaan Rizwan) into her scheme. TWO WEEKS TO LIVE follows a weekly release schedule, with new episodes dropping Thursdays.
- The eight-episode drama series NO MAN’S LAND premieres Sunday, Jan. 10 and dives into the depths of the Syrian civil war through the eyes of Antoine, a young French man, in search of his estranged, presumed to be dead sister. While unraveling the mystery, piece by piece, Antoine ends up joining forces with a unit of Kurdish female fighters, fierce women and ISIS’ biggest nightmare, and travels with them in ISIS occupied territory. Antoine’s journey crosses paths with adventurers and anarchists, spies and innocent victims, and provides a unique look at the tragic events in Syria and the way they affect the entire world. The series stars Félix Moati (The French Dispatch), Mélanie Thierry (La Douleur), and James Purefoy (ALTERED CARBON) alongside Souheila Yacoub, Jo Ben Ayed, James Krishna Floyd, Dean Ridge, Julia Faure, François Carbon, and Céline Samie.

What Critics Are Saying About Crave Original Series LETTERKENNY
LETTERKENNY: The hard-to-explain Canadian masterpiece
“The show, with eight seasons already and several special episodes, is one of the great triumphs, not just of Canadian TV, but of the general culture. Unique, it’s a rogue series that now stands as a masterpiece. Some TV series get awards and others get critical acclaim.”
– John Doyle,
The Globe and Mail
‘LETTERKENNY’ Season 9 Offers Queef Jokes and Emotional Maturity
“Dan (K. Trevor Wilson) and Darry (Nathan Dales) are in top teddybear form this season, as well, with their softer sides shining through more than ever. The season kicks off in the winter months, and, thanks to a town-wide sleepover filled with girl talk, movies and board games, these cozy vibes […] really help set the mood for LETTERKENNY’s most emotionally mature season yet.”
