There are some exciting new comedies in the works here at CBC Comedy, including two new shows that we can announce today. This one is a spin-off of Kim's Convenience , and stars Nicole Power, following her beloved character Shannon as she takes on an exciting new career in Hamilton, Ontario. These new shows will join an exciting and evolving CBC Comedy line-up along with Sort Of, which we announced last fall. Strays was created by Kevin White, who in addition to co-creating Kim's Convenience , helped launch the Emmy-winning CBC comedy Schitt's Creek and has also worked on comedy series such as Corner Gas, Dan for Mayor and Insecurity. The eight-episode series is directed by Filippo and Renuka Jeyapalan ( Kim's Convenience , Workin' Moms ), with Sienna Films' Jennifer Kawaja and Julia Sereny serving as executive producers.
