- The Canadian-produced series is Crave’s most-watched original and a U.S. hit on HBO Max, and it has been renewed for a second season with plans pointing to 2027.
- Social-media fan edits have multiplied across TikTok and other platforms, drawing millions of views and amplifying the show’s global reach.
