Walter Presents Heads to Canada

Walter Presents is launching in Canada with over 300 hours of hand-picked international drama content with PBS Masterpiece on Amazon Prime Video Channels.

This marks the debut of Walter Presents programs to Canadian audiences. Its slate will include the Danish drama Seaside Hotel and crime thriller/mysteries Professor T, Though Shall Not Kill and Before We Die, among others.

Andrea Downing, co-president of PBS Distribution, said, “We have seen tremendous consumer demand and subscription growth since we launched PBS Masterpiece on Amazon Prime Video Channels in the United States in May of 2017. This expansion allows our committed and loyal Masterpiece fan base in Canada to enjoy these high-quality, award-winning programs whenever they like.”

Walter Iuzzolino, co-founder and curator of Walter Presents, added, “I am genuinely thrilled to be launching Walter Presents in Canada, with its rich, bilingual culture and its history of active engagement with the world as well as its long-standing appreciation of world drama. I know Canadian audiences will embrace our collection of quality, distinguished series with a sense of curiosity and with real gusto.”
