Overview
- The documentary premiered on Netflix on Friday, October 30, 2026 and is available to stream now.
- Director Jason Hehir pairs newly filmed reunion interviews from July 2025 with archival SCTV clips and present-day testimonials from fans such as Tom Hanks, Bill Hader, Kathryn Hahn, Fred Armisen and Conan O’Brien.
- The film’s production history is detailed on screen: Martin Scorsese filmed a 2018 reunion and explored new sketches with the cast but the project stalled, and Jimmy Kimmel later revived the effort with Netflix and Hehir, leaving the older footage out of the finished 88-minute film.
- The documentary includes a group interview that captured Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas and Andrea Martin together in July 2025, and it notes that O’Hara died roughly six months after that session.
- The film traces how SCTV’s tiny early budgets, improvised production and a government-driven creation of Bob and Doug McKenzie shaped its inventiveness, launched major comedy careers, and could prompt new audiences to rediscover the series now available on Netflix.
