Crave to stream Oscar-winning film 'Parasite' in May

If you haven't gotten a chance to catch the buzz-worthy, Oscar-winning film Parasite, Bell's Crave streaming service will be showing the film in May. We don't have a specific date yet, but we should hear more in the coming months. Acclaimed director Bong Joon Ho wrote and directed Parasite. The South Korean film follows the tale of a low-income family that conned their way to work for a wealthy family.

'Star Trek: Picard' becomes Crave's most streamed series debut in history

CBS

Bell Media announced that the recently released Star Trek: Picard is the most-streamed debut on its Crave streaming service. The company counted total streams of the pilot episode in the week following its premiere on January 23. Crave gets a new episode of the show every Thursday night. Picard also airs on Thursday's on Bell's CTV Sci-Fi channel. 

Star Trek: Picard marks the return of Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard. It explores the fallout following the death of Data in Star Trek: Nemesis— which is also the last time Stewart appeared on a Star Trek project—as well as the destruction of Romulus in J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek movie. The show has already been renewed for a second season, giving fans more episodes to look forward to.

Bell's Crave to offer French-language content

Bell's streaming service, Crave, will be going bilingual starting January 28. The platform will be supporting French-language content, adding 5,000 hours of content to its library. HBO shows like The Outsider, The New Pope, and Madame Lebrun, as well as some Showtime shows, will come with French-language versions. Crave will launch its new French-language original series Pour Toujours Plus Un Jour.

Subscribers who avail of Crave plus the new Super Ecran add-on gain 1,000 more hours of programming, which adds an extra $9.99 on top of the $9.99 Crave subscription. 

'Star Trek: Picard' is already renewed for Season 2 ahead of January premiere

CBS All Access

The first season of Star Trek: Picard isn't out, but CBS is willing to give the show another season already. The Hollywood Reporter noted that CBS hadn't made an official comment yet possibly because it's waiting to confirm the second season's showrunner. The first season's showrunner, novelist Michael Chabon, is reportedly looking to pass the show on to another creator as he plans to work on other projects. As the show's title suggests, Picard stars the iconic USS Enterprise captain played by Patrick Stewart, and it premieres on January 23 on CBS All Access.

In Canada, Bell Media owns exclusive rights to Picard, and it will be broadcasted on its CTV Sci-Fi channel in English and Z channel in French. The show will then be available on Bell's Crave streaming service the day after the broadcast.
