Kim's Convenience will be concluding at the end of this season, the producers of the CBC comedy series announced on Monday. The show is currently in its fifth season, and the final episode will air April 13. It's a full season shorter than what was planned in early 2020 when the comedy — which gained a global following on Netflix — was renewed for two additional seasons at CBC. "It's very bittersweet," Andrew Phung, who plays Kimchee on the show, told CBC's Deana Sumanac-Johnson on Monday. The Canadian Screen Award-winning show premiered on CBC in 2016 and is based on the play of the same name by Choi.
