An Afternoon with SCTV is a Canadian-American documentary directed by Martin Scorsese. The film is a documentary on SCTV, the legendary Canadian sketch comedy show that launched the careers of Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short, Dave Thomas, John Candy, and Rick Moranis. Jimmy Kimmel was present as a moderator. It was filmed at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on May 13, 2018. The filming reportedly lasted around three hours and played to a live audience of around 1,500 people. All living former members of SCTV were present, including Rick Moranis, who was still retired from acting at the time. Additional footage was filmed over that summer. Netflix and the Canadian company CTV (no relation to SCTV) funded the film and hold the release rights.
The film hasn't had an official released. On May 12, 2021, Joe Flaherty revealed in a Facebook comment on a SCTV fan group that the special had been shelved. However, the following day, on May 13 (exactly three years to the day after the special was filmed) Netflix revealed the special had not been shelved, but delayed due to director Martin Scorsese's other commitments. Regardless, the film has still not been released. SCTV cast members Catherine O'Hara and Joe Flaherty have since passed away.
It seems as though the movie should be in a completed state by now, or at least be awaiting editing, and Netflix is instead choosing to sit on it. Perhaps they're waiting on Scorsese to give his final approval and he just can't be bothered? Regardless it's a tragic that this is still unreleased.
