What is All Heart: A Rugby Story? Crave’s Canadian rugby docuseries arrives Oct. 9

Crave will release all four episodes of All Heart: A Rugby Story on Oct. 9, giving viewers the full four-part documentary at once rather than on a weekly schedule. Each episode runs 30 minutes. The Crave Original follows Canada’s women’s national rugby team through its 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup campaign, with Boat Rocker Studios producing and Canadian documentary filmmaker Kathleen Jayme directing.

The series also has a distinctly Canadian executive-producer list. Jay Baruchel and The Tragically Hip are among the executive producers, alongside Boat Rocker co-founders David Fortier and Ivan Schneeberg, Todd Lubin and Jayme.

What is All Heart: A Rugby Story about?

Bell Media describes All Heart as a team-level documentary following veteran players, rising players and semi-professional athletes based overseas as Canada moves through its World Cup campaign. The material includes injuries, competition for places in the lineup and the pressure of preparing for and playing in the tournament.

Materials released by Bell Media, Boat Rocker and Rugby Canada present the national team as the documentary’s central subject. Bell Media’s current series page and premiere release do not identify a fixed group of featured athletes or provide an episode-by-episode breakdown.

When does All Heart: A Rugby Story come out on Crave?

All four episodes arrive on Crave on Oct. 9. Bell Media says the four half-hour episodes will be available simultaneously, making this a single-drop release rather than a weekly rollout. A later broadcast on TSN is also planned, although no TSN date has been announced.

Who made All Heart: A Rugby Story?

Boat Rocker Studios produces All Heart in partnership with Bell Media’s Crave. Rugby Canada and World Rugby collaborated on the project and provided access around the team, but the official materials do not list either organization as a production company.

Kathleen Jayme directs the series and is also an executive producer. The remaining executive producers are Jay Baruchel, The Tragically Hip, David Fortier, Ivan Schneeberg and Todd Lubin. Baruchel and The Tragically Hip are announced as executive producers; Bell Media’s premiere release does not identify either as an on-screen participant.

Who appears in All Heart: A Rugby Story?

The documentary follows Canada’s women’s national rugby team during the 2025 World Cup campaign. Bell Media’s current series page and premiere release do not provide an individual participant list. Rugby Canada’s tournament roster establishes who represented Canada at the World Cup, but roster membership alone does not confirm how much screen time, if any, a particular player has in the finished series.

For viewers looking for a cast-style list before the premiere, the official material currently presents All Heart as a documentary about the national team collectively, with Bell Media’s synopsis referring to veteran players, rising players and semi-professional athletes based overseas.

All Heart: A Rugby Story consists of four 30-minute episodes and premieres on Crave on Oct. 9. The entire series will be available that day, with a TSN broadcast to follow at a date still to be announced.
