Michael Bublé on TV Show: Inside Hometown Giants, His New Prime Video Hockey Series With Drew Scott

Michael Bublé is returning to television in a way that brings together two defining parts of his public life: entertainment and hockey. The Grammy-winning singer, widely known for his smooth vocals, television specials, and recent work as a coach on The Voice, is now stepping into the world of junior hockey through Hometown Giants, a new Prime Video docuseries featuring Bublé and television personality Drew Scott.

The series will follow Bublé and Scott as part-owners of the Vancouver Giants, a Canadian junior hockey team based in Langley, British Columbia. More than a celebrity-led sports project, Hometown Giants is being positioned as a Canadian story about ambition, community, pressure, and the teenage players trying to turn hockey dreams into professional careers.

Set to premiere on Prime Video this fall, the show forms part of Prime Video Canada’s 2026/27 slate, highlighting Amazon MGM Studios’ growing investment in Canadian originals, sports programming, documentaries, and reality formats.

A Different Kind of Michael Bublé TV Moment

For many viewers, Michael Bublé’s television presence is familiar. He has hosted singing specials on U.S. network television, appeared as a guest judge on Dancing with the Stars in 2022, and served as a judge and coach on NBC’s singing competition The Voice for Seasons 26-28.

But Hometown Giants moves him into different territory. Instead of performing, coaching singers, or appearing as a celebrity guest, Bublé is entering television through the lens of sports ownership and youth development.

The show focuses on Bublé and Drew Scott becoming joint owners of the Vancouver Giants, a junior hockey team where teenage players are chasing a shot at the NHL. That premise gives the series a built-in emotional arc: young athletes balancing expectation, sacrifice, family pressure, competition, and the possibility that every game could shape their future.

Prime Video’s promotional framing describes Bublé and Scott stepping into the “unpredictable world of junior hockey as part-owners of the Vancouver Giants, where teenage players chasing a shot at the NHL face constant pressure, sacrifice, and life-changing decisions — knowing every practice, shift, and hit could make or break their future.”

That description suggests the series will not simply be a celebrity showcase. It is likely to lean into the drama of junior hockey itself: the locker room, the families, the coaches, the business decisions, and the young players trying to bridge the gap between promise and professional opportunity.

Drew Scott Joins Bublé in a Hometown Story

Drew Scott, best known as one half of the Property Brothers franchise, brings his own television background to the project. Alongside his identical twin brother Jonathan Scott, he has hosted Property Brothers since 2011 and has appeared across a long list of renovation and design programs, including Brother vs. Brother, Property Brothers: Forever Home, Don’t Hate Your House with the Property Brothers, Celebrity IOU, Chasing the West, and Property Brothers: Under Pressure.

Scott has also appeared on Dancing with the Stars as a contestant and recently guested on the final season of HBO comedy Hacks alongside Jonathan.

In Hometown Giants, however, Scott is not renovating homes or fronting a lifestyle format. He is joining Bublé in a sports-focused documentary setting tied directly to their shared British Columbia roots.

Scott announced the project in a Thursday, May 28 Instagram post, writing: “Things are heating up! Hometown Giants coming to Prime this fall!” The post included photos of Scott and Bublé on the ice wearing personalized Vancouver Giants uniforms.

The announcement quickly drew fan enthusiasm. One fan commented, “So excited!” Another wrote, “Love this. Two of my favorite guys.” A different reaction captured the playful excitement around the pairing: “OMG! I love the photos especially the second one, Drew! With you and @michaelbuble leading the way what can go wrong LOL!”

Why the Vancouver Giants Matter to the Story

The Vancouver Giants are not incidental to the project; they are the heart of it. The team represents a pathway for young players trying to reach the NHL, and the series appears designed to show what that pathway demands.

Bublé’s connection to the Giants goes back years. The Burnaby-born singer became a minority owner of the Vancouver Giants in December 2008. Drew Scott, who grew up in Maple Ridge, became one of the Langley-based hockey team’s owners in September 2023.

The team marked Scott’s arrival at the time with a playful announcement on Instagram: “NEWS: The Vancouver Giants are thrilled to announce they have acquired one half of the @propertybrothers!”

Scott was quoted in the post saying: “‘Being an OG giant from Vancouver, I’m excited to come home! Big things to come.’ Please join us in welcoming @mrdrewscott on board as a new part-owner!”

The wording around “coming home” is important. Hometown Giants is not only about celebrity ownership; it is about two Canadian entertainers using their fame to spotlight a local team and a national sporting culture that runs deep in their personal identities.

“We’ve Known Each Other Our Whole Lives”

The personal connection between Bublé and Scott adds another layer to the show. Video from the Amazon Prime Video rollout showed the two friends discussing how long they had wanted to work together.

“We’ve known each other our whole lives,” Scott said.

“So, we always talked about, what are we going to do together? And then his career took off in music, and mine took off on hosting TV. And then there was this hockey team in our hometown, that Mike actually joined the ownership of before I did, years before.”

Bublé framed the project through patriotism, community, and love of hockey.

He said they are both “patriotic guys [who] love our country. We love our city that we were born in.”

“When I joined the team, it was Pat Quinn and Gordie Howe, those were my co-owners,” Bublé recalled. “To be able to bring Drew in was always like a dream, you know? Two ambitious young dudes who really love the game and love our community.”

Those quotes help explain why Hometown Giants may resonate beyond fans of Bublé or Scott. The series is built around hometown identity, Canadian pride, and the emotional stakes of junior hockey.

A Six-Episode Series With a Clear Canadian Identity

According to the provided details, Hometown Giants will be a six-episode show. It is produced by Scott Brothers Entertainment in association with Amazon MGM Studios.

That production partnership is notable because it brings together Scott’s established television production world with Amazon’s expanding Canadian content strategy. Scott Brothers Entertainment, operated by Drew Scott with his twin Jonathan and brother J.D., has extensive experience creating unscripted programming. In this case, the company is applying that production background to a documentary sports format.

The series was announced as part of Prime Video Canada’s 2026/27 slate, alongside several other Canadian originals.

The slate includes Surrender — a working title — described as a survival series hosted and executive produced by Scott McGillivray and set in the Canadian wilderness. It also includes The Pig Farmer: Robert Pickton, a working-title three-part true crime series about the case of a Canadian serial killer who evaded capture for years in Vancouver. Fantom Pictures is producing that project in association with Amazon MGM Studios.

Another title, Operation Deception, is a two-part documentary about a controversial undercover operation that sent Alain Olivier, a drug-addicted Quebec forestry student, to death row in Thailand in 1989. Pixcom is making it in association with Amazon MGM Studios.

Other projects on the slate include Young Farts Trailer Parts, formerly known as Trailer Trash, the French-language reality series Heels in the Hay, and LOL: Qui Rira Le Dernier? Season 5, the latest French-Canadian version of the comedy format LOL: Last One Laughing. The producer Attraction is also making a Halloween special tied to the format.

Together, the lineup shows Prime Video Canada leaning into a mix of sports, survival, true crime, reality, comedy, and local-language programming.

Prime Video’s Bigger Canadian Strategy

The launch of Hometown Giants is part of a broader effort by Prime Video to expand its original Canadian identity.

Brent Haynes, Head of International Originals, Canada, Amazon MGM Studios, described the slate in strongly national terms.

“Originals slate represents exactly the kind of stories Prime Video wants to tell – bold, surprising, and unmistakably Canadian,” Haynes said.

He added: “Whether it’s Michael Bublé and Drew Scott building teenagers into NHL players, an intense survival series where expectations, extremes and moral dilemmas are turned on their head, or the revealing truth behind the hunt for a serial killer, each of these projects is rooted in our unique Canadian perspective. We’re investing in creatives and formats that feel authentic to this country and have the potential to captivate audiences around the world.”

That statement makes clear that Amazon MGM Studios sees Hometown Giants as more than a sports documentary. It is being packaged as a cultural export: a Canadian story with international appeal.

The ingredients fit that ambition. Michael Bublé is internationally recognized as a recording artist and television personality. Drew Scott is a globally familiar face through HGTV and related programming. Hockey remains one of Canada’s most recognizable cultural markers. The Vancouver Giants provide the real-world sports foundation. The teenage players provide the emotional stakes.

Why Hometown Giants Could Stand Out

Celebrity sports documentaries have become increasingly common, but Hometown Giants has a few distinguishing features.

First, the series is not centered on an elite professional franchise with billionaire owners and global commercial machinery. It is focused on junior hockey, where players are still in formative stages of their lives and careers.

Second, the show’s emotional tension comes from uncertainty. The players are not guaranteed NHL careers. They are teenagers trying to prove themselves inside a competitive system where development, performance, injury, discipline, and opportunity all matter.

Third, Bublé and Scott bring different television identities to the project. Bublé carries the warmth and performance polish of a music star who has become comfortable in unscripted television through The Voice. Scott brings years of reality television experience, an instinct for accessible storytelling, and an existing fan base from home-renovation programming.

Finally, the series has a local anchor. Bublé is from Burnaby, Scott grew up in Maple Ridge, and the Giants are based in Langley. That British Columbia connection gives the project an authenticity that might not exist if the celebrity owners were detached investors.

Fans Are Already Responding to the Pairing

The early social media reaction suggests that Bublé and Scott’s pairing is one of the project’s strongest selling points.

When Drew and Jonathan Scott’s joint Instagram account celebrated the announcement on Wednesday, May 27, the caption read: “New show alert! As co-owners of the Vancouver Giants, @mrdrewscott and @michaelbuble are helping the next generation of young players chase their NHL dreams, and we’re bringing the cameras along for the ride!”

The caption continued: “Our new documentary series Hometown Giants is coming to @primevideoca this fall.”

Under the post, fans leaned into the Canadian angle. One person wrote, “Good ole’ Canadian boys doing Canadian things. Gotta love it!!!!” Another commented, “This is awesome! Love that some of our best Canadian boys, especially @mrdrewscott and @michaelbuble, own this team! Go Giants Go!!!”

Other fans focused on the team’s future, with one posting, “I’m looking forward to seeing your progress!! Praying for your success!” Another wrote, “So cool! Can’t wait to watch!”

The enthusiasm points to a broader appeal: viewers may tune in for Bublé and Scott, but stay for the players and the team journey.

A Sports Series Arriving as Prime Video Expands Live Sports

The timing of Hometown Giants also matters because Prime Video Canada is planning to expand its sports offering. The streamer is preparing coverage involving PWHL, NWSL, and the launch of NBA on Prime Video from October as part of an 11-year global agreement. The 2026 WNBA season launched on Prime Video on May 14.

Within that context, Hometown Giants fits neatly into Prime Video’s sports-adjacent strategy. It is not live sports coverage, but it can deepen the platform’s association with sports storytelling. It also gives Prime Video a Canadian hockey property at a time when streamers are competing to build loyal audiences through both live rights and original documentary programming.

For Amazon, a series like Hometown Giants can work on multiple levels. It can attract fans of Bublé, Scott, HGTV-style unscripted storytelling, Canadian hockey, sports documentaries, and local Vancouver Giants supporters. It can also help Prime Video position itself as a home for Canadian stories with wider global potential.

What Viewers Can Expect This Fall

Based on the information released so far, viewers can expect Hometown Giants to combine celebrity access with the realities of junior hockey.

The series is expected to follow Michael Bublé and Drew Scott as co-owners of the Vancouver Giants while documenting young players working toward NHL dreams. The show’s central tension will likely come from the daily grind of junior hockey: practice, games, performance pressure, roster decisions, personal sacrifices, and the emotional burden of chasing a future that only a small number of players will achieve.

The six-episode format should allow the series to move beyond a surface-level look at ownership. It has room to show the players, families, coaching staff, and business side of the team, while also exploring Bublé and Scott’s involvement as public figures with deep personal ties to the region.

For Bublé, the show marks another step in a television career that has grown well beyond musical performances. For Scott, it extends his unscripted television presence into sports documentary storytelling. For the Vancouver Giants, it creates a new level of visibility at home and internationally.

Conclusion: A Canadian Hockey Story With Star Power

Hometown Giants is shaping up as one of Prime Video Canada’s most recognizable new unscripted projects, largely because it brings together a globally known singer, a familiar television host, a hometown hockey team, and the universal drama of young athletes chasing professional dreams.

Michael Bublé’s move into this TV show is not a random celebrity experiment. It connects directly to his long-standing involvement with the Vancouver Giants, his love of hockey, and his British Columbia roots. Drew Scott’s presence adds another layer of Canadian star power and unscripted television experience.

At its core, the series appears to be about more than ownership. It is about community, ambition, pressure, identity, and the fragile path between junior hockey promise and NHL possibility.

When Hometown Giants arrives on Prime Video this fall, it will give audiences a new look at Michael Bublé on TV — not as a singer, judge, or guest star, but as a hometown hockey owner helping bring the Vancouver Giants’ story to the screen.
