List of Kim's Convenience episodes explained

Kim's Convenience is a Canadian television sitcom that premiered on CBC Television in October 2016. The series depicts the Korean Canadian Kim family who run a convenience store in the Moss Park neighbourhood of Toronto: parents "Appa" (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) and "Umma" (Jean Yoon) – Korean for "dad" and "mum" – along with their daughter Janet (Andrea Bang) and estranged son Jung (Simu Liu). Additional characters include Jung's friend and co-worker Kimchee (Andrew Phung) and his manager Shannon (Nicole Power). The series is based on Ins Choi's 2011 play of the same name.

Originally set to premiere on 4 October 2016, on CBC the series premiere was delayed to 11 October 2016, with back-to-back episodes, so it would not conflict with the Toronto Blue Jays' American League Wild Card Game.[1] The first season consists of 13 half-hour episodes.[2]

CBC announced on December 20, 2016, that it had renewed Kim's Convenience for a second season of 13 episodes.[3] The second season premiered on 26 September 2017.[4] On 12 March 2018, the cast of Kim's Convenience took to Facebook and Twitter to announce that there would be a third season.[5] [6] The third season began airing on 8 January 2019.[7] [8]

On 24 May 2018, just two months after announcing the third season renewal of the show, CBC announced that the show had also been renewed for a fourth season, which premiered on 7 January 2020.[9] On 31 March 2020, it was announced that the show has been renewed for two more seasons,[10] but on 8 March 2021, it was revealed that the show would end after the fifth season, due to the departure of the show's two co-creators.[11] [12] [13]
