Canada’s film and television industry has earned the nickname “Hollywood North,” a title that reflects its growing importance as a production hub for international entertainment. Cities such as Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal now rival Los Angeles and New York as centers of filming activity, attracting major Hollywood studios and streaming platforms.

The rise of Hollywood North is due in large part to government incentives. Canada offers generous tax credits to film and television productions, significantly reducing costs. This has lured major studios to shoot blockbusters and series north of the border. Vancouver, for example, has become the unofficial capital for superhero and science-fiction shows, with productions like The Flash, Supergirl, and Riverdale calling the city home.
