Crave's November 5-11 schedule brings a new Canadian comedy from Jared Keeso and the streaming debut of an Oscar-nominated film. The week also adds action movies, a documentary and returning investigative programming, giving subscribers a mix of originals and acquisitions.

What is new on Crave this week?

The headline arrival is I Kill the Bear, a six-part Crave Original comedy premiering Friday, November 6. Created and written by Keeso, it follows the Thibaults, a fourth-generation Franco-Ontarian family that wrangles bears for film sets and has decided to make this production its last. Keeso stars alongside Georges St-Pierre, Sarah-Maude Beauchesne and Jonathan Torrens. The series was filmed in Sudbury, Ontario, and new episodes drop on Fridays, according to Bell Media.

The premiere is part of a multiyear agreement Crave and Toronto-based New Metric Media announced in December 2023, covering 49 new episodes of programming involving Keeso. That deal also allowed for further Letterkenny spinoffs and entirely new series; the companies have not specified which productions count toward the 49 episodes.
