Amazon MGM Studios’ limited series “The Glass House,” Series Mania’s three-episode closing gala, is a double milestone for Prime Video – and the latest evidence that the talent and stories of Quebec premium series TV are connecting with international companies and audiences in a game-changing way. 

“Glass House,” Montreal standup star Martin Matte’s six-part dramedy about an entrepreneur whose hard-won success bumps up against societal change in ’90s-era Montreal, is the first scripted French-language series from the studio’s Canadian shop and also the first Canadian Prime Video Original to nab the festival’s coveted closing spot.
