Letterkenny is a Canadian television sitcom created by Jared Keeso and Jacob Tierney, that debuted on CraveTV in February 2016, and later also aired on The Comedy Network. The show stars Keeso and Nathan Dales as Wayne and Daryl, two friends living in the small town of Letterkenny, Ontario, a fictional community loosely based on Keeso's own hometown of Listowel, Ontario.
On March 10, 2016, Letterkenny was renewed for a second season of 6 episodes. On January 19, 2017 a surprise 7th episode - St.Perfect's Day - was added to the season. On August 8, 2016, just weeks after production wrapped on Season 2, CraveTV announced that they had ordered a third season.
At the 5th Canadian Screen Awards in 2017, the series won the award for Best Comedy Series.
Letterkenny is the first original series commissioned by CraveTV, and premiered on that platform on February 7, 2016. The show has its roots in Letterkenny Problems, a short-format web series created by Keeso and released on YouTube in 2013.Letterkenny Problems garnered a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Original Fiction Program or Series Created for Digital Media at the 2nd Canadian Screen Awards in 2014. The town of Letterkenny portrayed in the series is fictional, and not based on the actual ghost town in Renfrew County.
