April 7, 2026 – Paramount+ announced today that CANADA SHORE has been renewed for a second season globally. The housemates will head back to the Shore for more parties, hookups and debauchery with filming set to take place this summer.
In its debut season, Canada Shore drove more Canadian Paramount+ subscriptions than any other title*, and sparked viral moments and millions of views across social media. The series also set off juicy conversations with social personalities like Brianna Chickenfry and Cody Ko expressing their love. The 10-episode season had its finale on March 19th and is now streaming on Paramount+ in all markets globally.
“Renewing Canada Shore was an easy choice,” said Katrina Kowalski, Head of Content, Direct‑to‑Consumer, Paramount, Canada.“The series has quickly become a fan favourite, connecting with audiences through its unmistakeable, outrageous cast who may not depict stereotypical polite Canadian-ness, but have hearts much bigger than the chaos they bring.”
“The response from Shore fans to this authentic, funny, over-the-top, messy cast has been awesome,” said Erin Brock, Showrunner on Canada Shore and Co-Chief Content Officer at Insight Productions. “And the messiness didn’t end just because the cameras stopped rolling. The housemates have a lot to unpack this summer and I can guarantee sparks are going to fly from Day One.”
And guess what? The Canada Shore family is looking to expand! Anyone between the ages of 19-26 who is interested in hanging with the roomies and having the most unforgettable, unfiltered summer of their life, can apply. The only qualification - someone who is the life of the party wherever they go! Anyone interested should apply HERE by April 30.
Just like the original Jersey Shore series, Canada Shore brings together bold and unapologetic Canadian singles from coast to coast to coast to sun-soaked shores. They party, flirt, and turn every night into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. But between all the hookups, full-throttle fun and hangovers, this wild crew became a family that laughs together, fights together, and supports each other.
Canada Shore is the first-ever Canadian edition of the global MTV “Shore” phenomenon. Produced by Insight Productions (a Blue Ant Studios company) and filmed on the shores of Kelowna, British Columbia.The format has now produced 17 spin-offs, including most recent additions Aussie Shore and Frenchie Shore.
Fans can relive all the original ‘Shore’ vibes on Pluto TV’s MTV Jersey Shore Channel. The channel makes every day feel like “Jersday” and is packed with classic moments and Shore chaos.
Paramount+ in Canada is the go-to destination for all seasons of Jersey Shore and Jersey Shore Family Vacation and is the home to Aussie Shore, Acapulco Shore, Geordie Shore (Seasons 1-5) and Double Shot at Love (Seasons 1-3), Floribama Shore (Seasons 1-4), Buckhead Shore (Season 1) and Snookie & Jwoww (Seasons 1-4) and Frenchie Shore (Seasons 1-2).

NEW EPISODES OF TYLER PERRY'S DIVORCED SISTAS: SEASON 1" ARRIVE ON PARAMOUNT+ APRIL 15
Tyler Perry's Divorced Sistas returns with all-new episodes on Wednesday, April 15, exclusively on Paramount+.
The eight-episode conclusion to season one will debut with two episodes at launch, followed by a weekly rollout, culminating in the season finale on Wednesday, May 27.
Tyler Perry's Divorced Sistas follows five friends, Rasheda, Geneva, Naomi, Tiffany, and Bridgette, as they battle life and relationship woes at some stage of divorce, marriage, and dating. But it's the battle within their circle that tests their true character and love for one another
The back half of Season 1 escalates the stakes as long-simmering tensions erupt, relationships fracture, and the consequences of past decisions come to a head.
The series is created, directed, written and executive produced by Tyler Perry.
FROM THE CAST:
"Naomi is such a fun, complex character that I love to portray on Divorced Sistas. She's a firecracker who would rather say what's on her mind vs bite her tongue. And in the upcoming episodes, you'll really see how perceptive and strategic yet impulsive and outspoken she really is! She uses her wit and intelligence to outsmart those around her. But at the root, she's someone who's been hurt and doesn't know how to ask for help and her girls may or may not always sympathize with her emotional outbursts. As a friend, mother, and ex-wife, you'll watch Naomi continue to navigate through her messy divorce, while trying to satisfy her sexual appetite for danger, while maintaining her friendship circle, and so much more! Get ready! It all unfolds on Part 1B of Divorced Sistas." - Porscha Coleman
"I'm looking forward to Bridgette finding her voice and finally beginning to walk in her power in the second half of the season. Will she maintain her newfound strength in the constant tug of war for her devotion in her friendships and her toxic relationship, or will she fold under the pressure of trying to hold it all together? We'll have to tune in to find out. In the meantime, pray for poor Bridgette." - Jennifer Sears
"I'm so excited for the audience to see Tiffany's evolution as she opens her heart to receive love. Although her friendships are tested, she begins to see that she can lean on her own intuition and trust herself. I hope everyone has their seatbelts fastened!" - Briana Price
"I'm so excited to continue Rasheeda's journey in the second half of the season. She's such a layered, powerful woman. As the matriarch of her family and church, she carries so much... she's the safe space, the keeper of secrets, the one everyone leans on, even when she's carrying her own weight. Getting to explore those deeper layers of strength, vulnerability, and truth in the second half of the season is really special to me. I can't wait for the fans to come back along for the ride. There's so much more to uncover." - LeToya Luckett-Coles

The adventure continues when Nickelodeon’s hit CG-animated series Max & the Midknights returns for season three, premiering weekdays at 7:00am and 3:30pm starting Monday 20th April 2026 on Nickelodeon UK & Ireland! The show follows Max, a determined 10-year-old girl with big dreams of becoming a knight, as she leads her friends on epic adventures filled with excitement, bravery, and lots of fun.
Based on the best-selling children's books by acclaimed author and cartoonist Lincoln Peirce (Big Nate), the medieval action-adventure comedy series follows Max, a determined 10-year-old girl with big dreams of becoming a knight, as she leads her friends on epic adventures filled with excitement, bravery, and lots of fun.
The Adventure So Far
Throughout the show's freshman series, Max leads the rest of the Midknights on challenging quests filled with all-new original songs. After King Gastley steals the throne and forces an unjust rule on the Kingdom of Byjovia, Max must come to the rescue to overthrow the power-hungry foe. With her friends and Uncle Budrick by her side, Max’s courageous spirit won’t back down no matter how difficult the quest gets.
Then, in season two, after defeating Fendra and Gastley, Max & The Midknights are living their best lives in Byjovia. Max is in training in knight school, Kevyn runs the royal library, Simon helps animals in need, Millie is in training with Mumblin, and Uncle Budrick is the royal troubadour. Although things seem perfect, Max is itching to go on another quest. When a wild beast known as a Clatterback shows up in Byjovia and threatens to do major damage, Max saves the day, making it even more apparent that she really wants to be out on the road helping people. Her desire for a new adventure is answered when Queen Nerelia of Tresk shows up begging for help.

The voice cast behind the Midknights, a group of misfits each with their own unique talent, include: Blu del Barrio (Star Trek: Discovery) as Max, a brave and determined girl ready to take on any challenge headed her way; Melissa Villaseñor (Saturday Night Live) as Millie, a wacky yet super positive girl who brings the power of magic to the Midknights; Zeno Robinson (Transformers: EarthSpark) as Simon, Millie’s street-savvy and sometimes sarcastic companion; and Caleb Yen (Beyblade X) as Kevyn, the bookish genius with a photographic memory. Together, the group accomplishes nearly everything that they set their mind to achieve.
Alongside the Midknights, Jeremy Rowley (iCarly) lends his voice as Uncle Budrick, Max’s lovably silly parental figure and professional troubadour, Gary Anthony Williams (Central Park) voices Mumblin, a famous retired magician who helps guide the Midknights on their quests, Brian Stepanek (The Loud House) voices King Gastley, the nefarious ruler of Byjovia, willing to do whatever it takes to maintain his throne, and India de Beaufort (It’s Pony) voices Fendra, a dark sorceress working for King Gastley.

Imagine a world where your kids can step inside their favorite stories and interact with their best-loved characters in entirely new ways. Netflix Playground is an all-in-one app designed for exactly that — bringing the worlds of Sesame Street, Dr. Seuss, Peppa Pig, StoryBots, and Bad Dinosaurs to life through fun, enriching, and age-appropriate activities.
As parents, we know the find is only half the battle; too often, a great digital discovery is ruined by unexpected ads, hidden fees, or unwanted in-app content. Netflix has made it easier to say “yes” to playtime by putting these premium experiences all in one place — with no in-app purchases, no additional fees, and zero ads. Now get ready to play and explore the world of Netflix Playground!
What is Netflix Playground?
Netflix Playground is your destination for an ever-growing library of instantly playable games for kids aged 8 and younger, available exclusively to Netflix members. The mobile app is full of enriching experiences designed to spark creativity, laughter, and fun with your kids’ favorite characters — all ad-free with no in-app purchases or extra costs.
Getting started is a breeze. Just download the app to your smartphone or tablet, sign in, and you’ll find a bunch of games and activities ready to go. You’ll see familiar faces from Dr. Seuss’s Horton!, Peppa Pig, Bad Dinosaurs, Sesame Street, and more. Netflix Playground keeps our growing catalog of games in one place, giving you more peace of mind and your kids more enjoyable time to play.

From there, you’ll find games and activities in a familiar interface, arranged by the familiar characters your kids know and love.
Managing installed games is a cinch, too. In Settings, a graph shows how much storage the games occupy on your device, and deleting games your kids aren’t playing anymore only takes a tap.
