The Lake is an Amazon Canadian title. Making this Amazon's first scripted Canadian Amazon Original series, originally landing in June, 2022. The plot is based in part on the real-life experiences of series creator Julian Doucet.
The Lake was renewed for a second season, which arrived the following June, 2023. Around this time last year, Jordan Gavaris (who plays the lead, Justin) announced The Lake was not renewed for a third season.
So for me, this was a super easy summer watch. All sixteen episodes, over two seasons.
So what's The Lake all about? After returning from abroad following a breakup with his long-term partner, Justin plans to connect with his teenage daughter he gave up for adoption. His plans to make new memories with her at the family cottage go awry when he discovers his parents left it to his picture-perfect stepsister, Maisy-May (Stiles).
Alongside Jordan Gavaris (plays lead Justin), with 10 Things I Hate About You & Save the Last Dance star Julia Stiles. Honestly where has Stiles been?
Also starring Madison Shamoun, Jon Dore, Carolyn Scott, Natalie Lisinska, Travis Nelson, Declan Whaley, & Terry Chen. With Lauren Holly, Max Amani, & Jhaleil Swaby joining in the second season.
The series was filmed in North Bay, Ontario, Canada.
This was one of the easiest watches I have completed this entire Summer Streamin' 24/Summer Streamin' 25.
The show was high camp, easy to keep up and one of Amazon's most camp titles.
While we are talking about Amazon, they do have a fairly exciting 2025 line up. Deadloch will finally be back for season two. This time based up north in the Top End. Speaking of the Top End, we will also Top End Bub. The sequel to Top End Wedding.
Also (hopefully) we will get the final seasons of Upload and The Boys. I wouldn't mind seeing The Boys spin-off series Gen V return too.
Until then, enjoy the new Summer Streamin' 25 series. Finales for Silo, Landman, The Agency, Sex Lives of College Girls and more coming this month!
