TORONTO: Canadian sitcom “Kims Convenience is set to close up shop after its fifth season.
The shows producers said Monday the popular series will come to an end on April 13 with the final episode of the current season. It airs on Netflix in the U.S. and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Canada.
“Kims Convenience stars Paul Sun-Hyung Lee and Simu Liu as members of a Korean-Canadian family who run a corner store in Toronto.
The producers said in a statement that they decided they couldnt move forward with another season after two of the shows co-creators left to pursue other projects. Its a full season shorter than what was planned in early 2020 when the comedy was renewed for two additional seasons at the CBC.
Liu, who will lead Marvels upcoming Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, tweeted that he was heartbroken by the decision, saying he felt his characters journey was cut short.
He wrote that while he felt Kims Convenience fans deserved better, he was proud of everything the shows team had accomplished.
