MARCH 31 – HBO Max’s JULIA *Series Premiere*
- Starring Sarah Lancashire (HAPPY VALLEY) and David Hyde Pierce (FRASIER), HBO Max’s new eight-episode original comedy series, JULIA, is inspired by Julia Child’s extraordinary life, and her long-running television series, “The French Chef,” which pioneered the modern cooking show. Through Julia’s (played by Lancashire) life and her singular joie de vivre, the series explores a pivotal time in American history – the emergence of public television as a new social institution; feminism and the women’s movement; the nature of celebrity, and America’s cultural evolution. At its heart, the series is a portrait of a loving marriage with a shifting power dynamic. Additional cast includes Bebe Neuwirth (CHEERS), Brittany Bradford (FEAR THE WALKING DEAD), Franz Kranz (The Cabin in the Woods), and Fiona Glascott (Fantastic Beats: The Crimes of Grindelwald). JULIA premieres with three episodes on Thursday, March 31, with subsequent episodes dropping Thursdays on Crave.
MARCH 31 – MOONSHOT *Movie Premiere*
- Romantic comedy meets sci-fi in MOONSHOT, starring Cole Sprouse (RIVERDALE) and Lana Condor (To All the Boys…). Set in a future where Mars has been made habitable and colonized by humanity’s elite, two very unlikely college students team up, and board a space shuttle to travel to the Red Planet to reunite with their loved ones. The cast also includes Emily Rudd (Fear Street: 1978), Mason Gooding (Booksmart), Lukas Gage (THE WHITE LOTUS), and Zach Braff (SCRUBS).

APRIL 1 – NIGHT RAIDERS *Canadian Movie Premiere*
- Nominated for 11 Canadian Screen Awards, Danis Goulet makes her feature film debut with NIGHT RAIDERS, a searing thriller set in the near future. After a destructive war across North America, a military occupation seizes control of society. One of their core tactics: taking children from their families, and putting them into State Academies, or forced-education camps. Niska (Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers) is a Cree mother desperate to protect her daughter Waseese (Brooklyn Letexier-Hart), but events force mother and daughter to separate, leading Niska to join a group of Cree vigilantes to get her daughter back. NIGHT RAIDERS is available for streaming on Crave on Friday, April 1 in English, French, and Cree.

Featuring intimate new interviews with Tony Hawk himself, the film is an all-encompassing look at the skateboarder’s life, legendary career, and relationship with the sport with which he’s been synonymous for decades. Hawk, a pioneer of modern vertical skating who is still pushing his limits at the age of 53, remains one of the most influential skateboarders of all time.
