Kim’s Convenience Cancelled- To Abruptly End With Season 5

Indeed, we are saddened to report that Kim’s Convenience  will end upon the conclusion of its current 5^thseason currently slated for April 13^th. The news comes after both of the show’s co-creators decided to depart from working on the show to pursue other projects and the producers felt they could not continue to deliver the existing quality of the show.

Given their departure from the series, we have come to the difficult conclusion that we cannot deliver another season of the same heart and quality that has made the show so special,” the producers said in a statement Monday.

The news has been shocking to both the stars and  fans especially considering both the global success of  the show and how the series was already given the greenlight for its 6^thseason last year. 

Simu Liu told etalk’s Sonia Beeksma that “it doesn’t feel great.” He said the decision was not “in alignment with” the cast’s wishes.

“I think, for myself, I was definitely hoping to come back for season six and, you know, there was just this feeling that the show was doing so well commercially and critically and had reached such a wide fanbase all over the world,” he added.

Unfortunately, as a result of the show’s abrupt cancellation, many of the short and long term story lines which have defined the series will not be resolved including the tense relationship between Liu’s character, Jung and Apa  as well as what Jung will do with his life.

The circumstances surrounding this cancellation are highly unusual considering there was only one season left and  even more so with the producers announcing the cancellation as opposed to the creators.It some ways, it seems like such a waste after fans have invested 5 years into the stories of the beloved characters that made the show what it is only not to have the chance to view a proper end.
