Netflix To Premiere SCTV Documentary On Oct. 30th
The pay streamer will debut the special called "SCTV: The Greatest Show You Never Heard Of" at the end of the month.
It's kind of an odd title. Not only did SCTV have a long run in Canada, it also aired for a while after Saturday Night Live on NBC. But it does show the influence the Canuck-born program had on audiences.
The special features memories from Martin Short and Rick Moranis and talks about its influence with future stars like Conan O'Brien.
You can watch the memory flogging trailer here.

I may need to subscribe to Netflix briefly to watch this. Annoying choice of music for the promo.

I take it this isn't the long awaited Scorcese doc?

One line of thinking is that the Scorsese doc was abandoned (due to him being busy) and rights for the 2018 live event footage were then transferred to this new doc.
At , this text appears at the bottom:
"In August 2026, Netflix announced a documentary titled SCTV: The Greatest Show You've Never Heard Of, directed by Jason Hehir with Kimmel as an executive producer, to be released on October 30. Netflix promotional material describes the documentary as including "an emotional reunion in Toronto", which Exclaim! reported was "presumably" referring to the 2018 taping."
