Kim’s Convenience is extending its hours.

The comedy series about a Korean-Canadian family that runs a Toronto convenience store has been renewed by CBC for a second season.

“Canadians have fallen in love with the Kims,” Sally Catto, CBC’s general manager of programming, said in a news release. “The series has struck a chord among viewers of all ages with its unique perspective and its authentic, relatable and hilarious take on family relationships.”

CBC says the first season has drawn an average of 933,000 viewers an episode — 39 per cent of them in the coveted 25 to 54 demographic — a more than respectable number for a homemade TV show.

The TV series grew out of a hit play by Ins Choi. It was co-created by Choi and Kevin White, and is produced by Ivan Fecan and Thunderbird Entertainment in association with Soulpepper Theatre.

Kim’s Convenience airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on CBC and can be streamed at cbc.ca. The first season finale will air at a special time, 8 p.m. on Dec. 27, with two back-to-back episodes.

The second season is scheduled for fall 2017.
