About the Show
A CBC original comedy, KIM'S CONVENIENCE, the funny, heartfelt story of the Kim family and their downtown convenience store, returns for a fifth season. The family faces one of its toughest challenges yet as they navigate a difficult medical diagnosis for Umma (Jean Yoon). With Appa (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) stepping up as the primary caregiver, and a recently graduated Janet (Andrea Bang) moving back home, boundaries are inevitably crossed. Meanwhile, Jung's (Simu Liu) time away at business school tests his relationship with Shannon (Nicole Power) as Kimchee (Andrew Phung) reconnects with his family, and his high school crush.
KIM'S CONVENIENCE is based on the award-winning play by Ins Choi, who also adapted it for television. Kevin White serves as showrunner, and co-created the series with Choi, who both hold executive producer credits along with Ivan Fecan. For CBC, Sally Catto is General Manager, Entertainment, Factual & Sports; Trish Williams is Executive Director, Scripted Content and Sandra Picheca is Executive in Charge of Production.
Season 5 premieres on CBC and CBC Gem in Winter 2021.
