BROSSARD \u2013 The fall TV season is almost here, and the Habs are again stars of a must-see series.<\/p>\n
Season 2 of The Rebuild: Inside the Montreal Canadiens debuts on Crave on Thursday, August 21, with the first two episodes of the six-part series dropping on the streaming platform.<\/p>\n
The program goes behind the scenes with the team during the 2024-25 campaign, building off a successful first season that was Crave\u2019s most-watched documentary series in Canada in 2024.<\/p>\n
On Monday, members of the organization behind the show met the media during a press junket at the CN Sports Complex in Brossard to discuss what viewers can expect from its sophomore season.<\/p>\n
Here are a few highlights from the event:<\/p>\n

Alexandre Carrier on experiencing a season with cameras constantly around:<\/p>\n
You know you\u2019re being filmed. You try to ignore it, but when you\u2019re in the room and Martin [St-Louis] is giving a speech and you see the cameraman beside you, that\u2019s when you notice it most. After a win or moments like that, you don\u2019t pay attention as much. It\u2019s really in the more serious or quieter times that you realize the crew, the microphones and the cameras are around.<\/p>\n
France Margaret B\u00e9langer on the public\u2019s response to the documentary series:<\/p>\n
[The Canadiens] already have an enormous following on social media, so this show is like an extension of the content our team creates. Fans love seeing what happens behind the scenes. We always put our players at the forefront in the content we create ourselves, but we\u2019re able to show the bigger picture with The Rebuild: the hockey operations, how things unfold and conversations between Martin St-Louis and his players. We also put a real emphasis on the players\u2019 personalities. In Season 2, you\u2019ll notice there are a lot of features of players at home and with their families, and fans really love that.<\/p>\n
Jayden Struble on being featured in Season 1 of The Rebuild: Inside the Montreal Canadiens:<\/p>\n
It was pretty cool. It\u2019s definitely a little weird seeing yourself and hearing yourself, because we\u2019re just regular guys going about our day, and then suddenly you see yourself on TV. It was a little weird, but it was cool. I liked it. […] My family was in an episode for my first game, so they thought getting some screen time was pretty cool. For me, having them be a part of it \u2013\u2013 that was the best part.<\/p>\n
David Savard on his last season in the NHL being documented on camera:<\/p>\n
In four or five years, when my youngest is a little older, it\u2019ll be pretty special to re-watch the last few moments I played in the NHL. They did such a good job in Season 1 of documenting our lives: the meetings, the ups and downs we go through in a season. From the outside, fans don\u2019t always see that, so I think it\u2019s cool for them. Even our families; they live it through us, but they\u2019re not in meetings, they\u2019re not in all those hard practices and they don\u2019t see all the stuff we do at the rink, so it\u2019s definitely going to be cool to look back on all of that.<\/p>\n
Episodes 1 and 2 of Season 2 of The Rebuild: Inside the Montreal Canadiens debut on Thursday, August 21 on Crave. Subsequent episodes of the six-part series release individually on Thursdays, with the season finale set for September 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BROSSARD \u2013 The fall TV season is almost here, and the Habs are again stars of a must-see…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78958,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-78957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
