The series will debut on Super Channel Fuse, available via Apple TV and Prime Video, on April 1, and will later screen at Canneseries on April 18 at Espace Miramar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Streams Flow From a River<\/em> is a proof-of-concept for the progressive strategies that we have advocated for in the Canadian and global screen sectors: authenticity being our North star for high-quality content, with cast and crew who connect with the story to go above and beyond to bring their best work on screen, and connecting that content with audiences who understand the experiences of our characters as a foundation to build intrigue and word-of-mouth,\u201d said Joshi, president of Fae Pictures. \u201cWe are eternally grateful to the hard work of showrunner Christopher Yip and the cast and crew behind the production, as well as the team at Canneseries for recognizing the quality of the series.
