What is the Snow King docuseries about?
Dogwoof announced the series on April 22, 2025, describing it as a verité-driven account of the hunt for Wedding and his alleged transformation from national hero to cartel boss and international fugitive. The criminal-conduct descriptions are allegations, not findings established by the production announcement. Dogwoof’s announcement said the project was in joint development with Visitor Media, in partnership with CBC, Rolling Stone Films, and La Corriente Del Golfo.
When does Snow King come out?
CBC’s 2026–27 programming slate places the series in Winter 2027. That is a broad seasonal window, not a specific premiere date; no exact day has been stated in the available listing. The slate identifies Visitor Media as the production company and gives the format as three episodes, each 60 minutes. CBC’s 2026–27 slate announcement, syndicated by WebWire, is the source for the schedule and episode details.
Who is making the series?
The National Film Board of Canada’s 2026 projects-in-production listing names Chelsea McMullan as director and Sean O’Neill of Visitor Media and Sherien Barsoum of the NFB as producers. The NFB production listing identifies the project as a three-part documentary series.
Where can you watch it?
The announced materials do not specify a streaming service, broadcast outlet beyond CBC’s slate listing, or territory-by-territory availability. CBC’s involvement is confirmed, but the sources do not establish where viewers will be able to stream the series or whether its distribution will differ by region.

No. CBC and the Toronto Star separately announced a planned Ryan Wedding podcast in January 2026. That podcast announcement says the docuseries draws on Toronto Star reporter Calvi Leon’s work and Rolling Stone journalist Jesse Hyde’s reporting; it is distinct from the three-episode documentary series. The January 20, 2026 podcast announcement covers that separate project.
