Here’s everything new that’s coming Amazon Prime Video Canada in January 2021.

One Night In Miami…

Regina King’s directorial debut—adapted from the 2013 stage play by Kemp Powers—imagines an evening in the company of Cassius Clay (Eli Goree), Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge), and Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom, Jr.) in February, 1964, the night Clay beat Sonny Liston and became the world heavyweight champion. It’s an examination of celebrity, social responsibility and identity—as well as politics—played out between four Black cultural figures who understood one another’s circumstances as few others could. We really liked it. January 15

Flack

Nearly two years after it premiered in the U.K., Canadians can finally catch Oliver Lansley’s comedy about public relations, starring Anna Paquin as an American publicist in London who’s brilliant at keeping her clients’ personal disasters out of the public eye, but rather terrible at managing her own affairs. Sophie Okonedo costars, and Bradley Whitford, Sam Neill, and Daniel Dae Kim make guest appearances, possibly covered in sick. January 22
