Justin Stockman, Bell Media VP of content development and programming, released a statement on “Letterkenny” coming to an end: “‘Letterkenny’ is a pop culture, Canadian TV phenomenon, and while we’re sad to see Wayne and his buds leave our screens, we’re excited that the laughs and ass-kicking live on with Crave [fan-favorite], ‘Shoresy.'”
Shoresy (Jared Keeso) is a veteran hockey player introduced on “Letterkenny” who received his own show in 2022 where he takes control of the Sudbury Bulldogs, leading the group of misfits to play their very best. The spin-off has two seasons already with a third on the way that’s set to begin production later this year. And who knows? Perhaps some familiar “Letterkenny” faces will make their way to “Shoresy” over time.
“Letterkenny” has earned tremendous praise over the years for its sharp, quick-witted humor. Mashable’s Caitlin Welsh wrote of the show, “The wordplay of ‘Letterkenny’ is a complex, rapid-fire patter of highly specific regional slang, ten-dollar words, pop culture trivia detailed enough to rival Community’s convoluted asides, fart jokes, a lot of cursing, and an infinite supply of finely crafted insults.” Get ready for one last round of fart jokes and Canadian slang when “Letterkenny” Season 12 graces our screens this holiday season.
