"Son of a Critch" to End with Season 5 on CBC

Mark Critch just posted on social media that the upcoming fifth season of Son of a Critch will be the sitcom's last.

In the last few moments, This Hour Has 22 Minutes star Critch shared a video confirming school's out for the CBC comedy, and wrote: "To all of you who've been watching along, we've officially started filming Season 5 of Son of a Critch. We're heading back to 1992 – the year I graduated high school – so you can expect all the awkwardness and growing pains that come with it.

"And since it's the last year of high school, it will also be our final chapter. Growing up is hard to do – but it sure is fun to watch. We hope you'll join us this fall as we go back to school one last time on CBC and CBC Gem. Class dismissed, Mark Critch".

Production on the 12-part fifth season is underway and will continue until June 18, with Critch the creator, co-showrunner, exec producer and star. It will launch in Canada in the fall on CBC and streamer CBC Gem. In the U.S., the show has aired on The CW since 2023, and some seasons are available on Netflix.
