Hulu’s ‘Letterkenny’ Spinoff ‘Shoresy’ Renewed for Season 5
Hulu’s Letterkenny spinoff comedy Shoresy has been renewed for a fifth season.
The greenlight from Canadian streamer Crave comes before the puck drops on the hockey-focused series’ fourth season of six episodes Jan. 26 on Hulu. Production by Canadian indie producer New Metric Media on the fifth season from creator Jared Keeso will start in spring 2025.
The fourth season will follow Shoresy, a foul-mouthed tough guy played by Keeso, as he explores life after hockey, and the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs, a struggling hockey team in a fictional hockey circuit, contend with the distractions of summer in northern Ontario.
The third season ended with Shoresy deciding to end his competitive hockey career after enduring a string of injuries, including twin head concussions. With Shoresy hanging up his skates, new storylines for Keeso’s character opened up in seasons to follow.
The fifth season returning cast alongside Keeso includes Taysa Teles, Blair Lamora, Keilani Rose, Jonathan Ismael Diaby and former NHL player-turned-actor Terry Ryan. The hockey-centric series will also feature in its upcoming fourth season former NHLers Doug Gilmour, Marty McSorley and Sean Avery.
Producer credits on Shoresy are shared by Play Fun Games and Bell Media. Toronto-based New Metric Media is also known for the Hulu and Crave original comedy Letterkenny, the CW and CTV comedy series Children Ruin Everything and the Crave comedy Bria Mack Gets A Life.
Keeso also writes the screenplay for Shoresy, and executive produces the series along with Mark Montefiore and Kara Haflidson. Longtime Shoresy directors Dan and Sean Skene will return to helm the fifth season.
