The essential Canadian sitcom Kim’s Convenience will be concluding its run with its current season, its fifth, effectively twisting the knife for fans by reversing the previously announced decision to continue for two more seasons. The deadline confirmed that the show’s co-creators, Ins Choi and Kevin White, chose to leave and “move forward” ahead of schedule, with the fifth season ending on April 13 (aired on CBC Canada) now serving as the final series. “Given their departure from the series, we have come to the difficult conclusion that we cannot deliver another season with the same heart and quality that made the program so special”, The producers said in a statement. “Thank you to our fans for the love and support you have given to this show.” Simu Lu, who plays the reformed rebel Jung, tweeted that he was “heartbroken” because his journey “was interrupted” with his character. Kim’s Convenience, which debuted in 2016 and is available for streaming on Netflix, follows a Korean Canadian family who runs a convenience store in Toronto and has been praised as an ideal sitcom.
