A sad news for comedy lovers…

Fans’ favorite Canadian sitcom, “Kim’s Convenience” is ending after a runtime of five seasons. The news came as a shocker for fans who were looking forward to two more seasons of the sitcom.

Kim’s Convenience season 5 premiered on 19 January, and is currently airing on CBC Television. Debuted in 2016, the show rose to popularity after being added to the library of online streaming platform Netflix. If you haven’t watched the show yet, you can stream all of its four episodes on Netflix.

Here’s everything you need to know about Kim’s Convenience store, its ending, and cast.

What is the reason behind the show’s departure?

On Monday, the show’s co-creators, Ins Choi and Kevin White, decided to conclude the show earlier than expected because of their prior commitments. With this announcement, the season five finale— which is set to air on 13 April on CBC—will now be serving as the show’s finale.

“Given their departure from the series, we have come to the difficult conclusion that we cannot deliver another season of the same heart and quality that has made the show so special,” the producers announced on twitter. “Kim’s convenience has meant so much to our cast, writers, crew and audience around the world. Despite the restrictions and complications of shooting during the pandemic, Season 5 is our finest season to date. It’s been a privilege and a very great pleasure to work with the Kim’s family of gifted writers and performers for the last five years. Thank you to our fans for the love and support you have given this show.”

Actor Liu, who is starring as a lead man in Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the legend of the Ten Rings,” expressed that he’s heartbroken after learning the news of sudden ending of the show. He said that he is proud of what he has achieved in the five seasons.

Disappointing news today.

I’m heartbroken. I feel like my journey with Jung was cut short. I feel like you, the fans, deserved better. But I’m proud of all that we accomplished together in 5 seasons.

Thanks for all your love and support. This isn’t goodbye, only #OKSeeYou. pic.twitter.com/c1LAg0F58m
