Kim’s Convenience Stars Nicole Power and Andrew Phung Receive Greenlight For New CBC Shows

While fans of Kim’s Convenience continue to express their dismay at the beloved hit TV series being  abruptly cancelled at the end of it’s current 5thseason, one very special character from the show a spinoff based on her for CBC and another is getting his own CBC series about family life in the suburbs.

To start with the optimistic and somewhat happy go lucky character of Shannon Ross played by Nicole Power is heading to Hamilton to embark on a new career in this exciting new series entitled Strays.

The cast includes Tina Jung (SuitsSecond Jen), Nikki Duval (Rosie on Workin’ Moms), Kevin Vidal (Mo on Workin’ Moms, as well as a few CBC Comedy videos with Soul Decision Comedy), Tony Nappo (Pretty Hard Cases), Frank Cox O’Connell (Anne of Green Gables: Fire and Dew) Paula Boudreau (Workin’ MomsTiny Pretty Things) and Emily Piggford (The SoundsWarigami).

The show was created by Kevin White who was a co-creator of Kim’s Convenience and lent his creative talents to many other comedy series such as Corner Gas, Insecurity and Dan for Mayor.

It looks like this is one of the projects which one of the co-creators is moving onto  which led to the producers not receiving the support they felt they needed to continue Kim’s Convenience. One might ask why he simply did not postpone this project for another year to focus on giving a proper ending to Kim’s Convenience by doing a sixth season and then launching this spinoff?This would have made sense commercially/financially in attaining maximum benefit of both projects and maintaining a reputation of being fully committed to providing exceptional viewing experiences to fans across the globe.

It should be noted that this series was intended to air alongside Kim’s Convenience to reflect today’s young person and their professional and personal journeys outside the density of  the urban core of Canadian cities. That being said, for the purposes of continuity, it would have likely meant that Nicole Power would not have reprised in her role as a series regular in a sixth season of Kim’s Convenience.

Additionally, CBC has also ordered a season of Run the Burbs which features  Kim’s Convenience’s Andrew Phung who is famously known for his role as Kim Chee. This series features Phung portraying the role of a stay at home dad with an entrepreneur wife and 2 kids  who all  reside in the suburbs and aim to make the most of life by doing so. More details regarding this series shall be released by the CBC later this spring.

What are your thoughts on these two new series and which one are you the most excited for at this point?Sound off in the comments section below!
