Your favorite family-owned convenience store is opening up again! Canadian sitcom fave Kim’s Convenience has set its U.S. premiere date on Netflix.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the fourth season of Kim’s Convenience will premiere on Netflix on April 1.
The Canadian sitcom already had its season 4 premiere in Canada on January 7, 2020. However, fans in the United States don’t have access to CBC Television — the network on which the show is shown — and so have had to wait patiently for the show to make its way onto Netflix.
Kim’s Convenience centers on the the Korean Canadian Kim family who run a convenience store in the Moss Park neighborhood of Toronto. The family is comprised of parents “Appa,” played by Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, and “Umma,” played by Jean Yoon — which is Korean for “dad” and “mom” — along with their daughter Janet (Andrea Bang) and estranged son Jung (Simu Liu).
Kim’s Convenience is based on Ins Choi’s 2011 play of the same name.
Though the focus has always remained on the family, as the show has gone on, it has broadened its cast to include friends of Janet and Jung, such as Kimchee, played by Andrew Phung, who is Jung’s best friend and roommate, as well as Gerald, played by Ben Beauchemin, who is Janet’s friend and roommate.
The show has also cultivated a bit of a will-they-won’t-they storyline between Jung and his boss Shannon, played by Nicole Power.
At the end of the third season, Janet’s ex-boyfriend Raj Raj, played by Ishan Davé, broke up with his fiancee to try to get back together with Janet, while Shannon and Jung had a moment of their own after she sent her current boyfriend Alejandro straight to voicemail.
All three previous seasons of Kim’s Convenience are now streaming on Netflix, with the fourth one debuting on April 1.
