Peacock has secured all five seasons of the comedy series Kim’s Convenience—totaling 65 half-hour episodes—in a deal with Blue Ant.
“Securing a home for Kim’s Convenience on Peacock is a significant milestone for Blue Ant Rights & Streaming that signals our growing presence in the premium scripted space,” says Bryan Gabourie, EVP for content monetization and head of the Americas. “Peacock is a valued partner across the spectrum of Blue Ant businesses, and bringing Kim’s Convenience to the platform allows this beloved series to continue reaching its existing U.S. fanbase while being discovered by an entirely new generation of fans as well.”
The CBC-commissioned series is based on Ins Choi’s award-winning play of the same name, focusing on a Korean-Canadian family running a convenience store in Toronto. Created by Ins Choi and Kevin White, it was produced by Thunderbird Entertainment, now part of Blue Ant Studios, in association with Soulpepper Theatre Company.
