Tom Hanks, Conan O’Brien, & More A-Listers Star in New Trailer for Hilarious Netflix Movie

Netflix has unveiled a new trailer featuring the SCTV cast as they reflect on the beloved Canadian sketch series. SCTV: The Greatest Show You’ve Never Heard Of celebrates the performers, characters, and comedy that defined the show.

The documentary brings together legendary cast members for interviews and a reunion. It features familiar faces, including Catherine O’Hara, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, and Martin Short. Joe Flaherty is also part of the documentary. Netflix describes it as a funny and heartfelt look at how the scrappy Canadian series made comedy history.

SCTV originally ran from 1976 to 1984 and became known for its ensemble cast and recurring characters. The series also helped launch the careers of several performers who later became huge comedy stars.

The documentary also connects to an earlier SCTV reunion filmed in Toronto in 2018. Martin Scorsese was originally attached to that project, with Jimmy Kimmel moderating the reunion. Netflix later developed the documentary with Jason Hehir directing.

The trailer references several memorable characters and sketches from SCTV. These include Edith Prickley, Earl Camembert, Johnny LaRue, Jerry Todd, the Five Neat Guys, High School High-Q, and the Half-Wits. It also recalls comedy bits such as the “Swedish meatball” joke. Another remembered gag involves wanting to “see people blow up in films.”

The cast discusses how SCTV initially had little promotion or advertising. Viewers instead discovered the series through word of mouth.

The trailer touches on the performers’ connection to the series and the comedy legacy it created. Netflix says the documentary includes rare archival material and previously untold stories about SCTV.

The film also features footage from a Toronto reunion that brings surviving cast members together to revisit their time on the series. That reunion forms part of the documentary’s broader look at SCTV’s lasting place in comedy.

SCTV: The Greatest Show You’ve Never Heard Of arrives on Netflix on October 30, 2026.
