Prime Video Sets October Release for ‘Hometown Giants’ Hockey Docuseries Following Michael Bublé and Drew Scott

Prime Video has announced the premiere date and released the trailer for “Hometown Giants,” a new six-part hockey docuseries following music star Michael Bublé and television personality and entrepreneur Drew Scott as part-owners of the Vancouver Giants.

The new documentary series arrives on Friday, October 16, with all six episodes available to stream exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Set inside the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants, “Hometown Giants” goes behind the scenes of the team’s 2025-26 season, combining the pressure of major junior hockey with the personal stories of young players chasing professional careers.

What is Hometown Giants about?

“Hometown Giants” follows Bublé and Scott as they attempt to help rebuild the Vancouver Giants, a franchise that has not won a championship since 2007.

The series provides behind-the-scenes access to the organisation as a new coach and general manager take charge and begin reshaping the team.

Viewers will see the decisions and pressures that come with running a major junior hockey franchise, including front-office strategy, roster changes, trades and the day-to-day demands of competing through a long and challenging season.

But the series is about more than what happens on the ice.

Hometown Giants follows young players chasing NHL dreams

The Vancouver Giants’ players featured in the series are teenagers balancing the demands of elite hockey with life away from home.

Alongside training and competition, the players are completing high school, developing friendships and relationships and dealing with the uncertainty that comes with pursuing professional hockey.

For many, the NHL represents the ultimate goal, but only a small number of major junior players will eventually reach the league.

“Hometown Giants” follows rookies adapting to the pace and physical demands of major junior hockey, while more experienced players battle to maintain their positions on the roster.

The series also documents a difficult 15-day road trip, testing the players away from the rink as well as during games.

Ryan Lin and the Vancouver Giants face a crucial season

As the season progresses, the pressure increases around the team’s prospects and roster decisions.

Top prospect Ryan Lin finds himself under increased attention, while Torretto Marrelli fights to secure his place with the team.

The approaching trade deadline brings another major turning point, with the Giants making moves that could shape the remainder of their season.

Injuries add another layer of uncertainty as players and coaches attempt to keep the team’s campaign on track.

The result is an inside look at a season where individual careers and the team’s ambitions are closely intertwined.

Michael Bublé and Drew Scott offer behind-the-scenes access

As part-owners of the Vancouver Giants, Bublé and Scott provide viewers with access to the business and sporting decisions taking place away from the ice.

The documentary follows the owners alongside players, coaches, families and members of the organisation throughout the 2025-26 campaign.

That access gives “Hometown Giants” two distinct perspectives on major junior hockey: the high-pressure business of trying to build a competitive team and the personal reality of teenagers attempting to turn a childhood ambition into an NHL career.

Hometown Giants release date and how to watch

“Hometown Giants” premieres Friday, October 16, exclusively on Prime Video.

All six episodes will be released at the same time, allowing viewers to watch the complete season from launch.
