How Director Megan Park Built Canadian Music Into the DNA of Prime Video Sensation ‘Sterling Point’

The Muskoka-set TV show features shoutouts to Sarah McLachlan and Jann Arden, plus needle drops from rising stars like Lennon Stella and Mikayla Geier alongside hit Gen-Z artists Olivia Rodrigo and Gracie Abrams.

Sterling Point has all the ingredients of a popular teen drama: young love, self-discovery, heartfelt friendship, secrets and complicated family dynamics. Most importantly, the much-talked-about Prime Video series has a captivating soundtrack — one influenced by its Muskoka, Ontario setting.

Exactly two weeks ago, the show started streaming, quickly becoming one of Prime Video’s most-watched shows, with the Muskoka setting playing a major factor. Though it’s an American production, Sterling Point fits in with shows like Heated Rivalry and movies like Mile End Kicks as part of a recent wave of Canadian screen hits.
