Shoresy
Shoresy is a Canadian television comedy series created by and starring Jared Keeso that premiered on Crave on May 13, 2022. A spin-off of Letterkenny, the series focuses on the titular character of Shoresy (Keeso) as he moves to Sudbury, Ontario, to take a job with a struggling Senior AAA-level ice hockey team, the Sudbury Bulldogs.
In the United States, the series premiered on Hulu on May 27, 2022. A second season was announced in January 2023, which premiered on September 29, 2023. In October 2023, the series was renewed for a third season, which premiered on May 24, 2024. The fourth season premiered on January 24, 2025, and the series has been renewed for a fifth season.
After losing 20 straight games and running dead last in the four-team Triple A-level Northern Ontario Senior Hockey Organization (NOSHO), the Sudbury Bulldogs are faced with being completely shut down. In an attempt to save the team, veteran player Shore ("Shoresy") makes a bet with team general manager Nat that the team will never lose again if he's given a chance to take control. With the help of new coach Sanguinet, a roster of new players, and the dissolution of the team on the line, Shoresy sets out to prove that the Bulldogs can play as a team, sell tickets to games, and make a name for themselves. He rebuilds the team with veteran players who share his philosophy that it's not enough to "love to win", they have to "hate to lose".
Shoresy is played by Jared Keeso, but within Letterkenny he was only seen in contexts that obscured his face as Keeso simultaneously played the leading role of Wayne. Justin Stockman of Bell Media explained the decision to proceed with a Shoresy spin-off by noting that he is one of the most popular characters in Letterkenny merchandising, and acknowledging the creative potential involved in building on the story of a character about whom very little is known in the original show.
Production on the series launched in November 2021 in Sudbury. Production locations have included the Sudbury Community Arena.
During the tenth-season Letterkenny episode "VidVok", Tanis explains to Wayne that she managed to get Shore a position on the Sudbury Bulldogs and will be moving soon, setting up the Shoresy series. The show's first teaser trailer was released in February 2022.
Like Letterkenny, the show has received praise for its efforts to include fully rounded and nuanced portrayals of its First Nations characters, which was accomplished in part by including actress Kaniehtiio Horn, who plays Tanis in the original Letterkenny, as a producer tasked in part with ensuring that the indigenous characters were written and portrayed realistically. The series has also received positive notice for inverting the stereotypical gender dynamics in hockey by placing women in power positions as the team's manager, her two assistants and the sports journalist who covers the team for The Sudbury Star, noting that in Letterkenny "Part of the secret ... is that although the men seem to be the focal point of the story and the women seem to be objectified in endless slo-mo walk-ups, the men are all trapped in different stages of arrested development and the women are truly in charge."
While more suburban and rural parts of Sudbury serve as a backdrop for the fictional town of Letterkenny in the series, the central urban core of the city is fully represented as itself in Shoresy. The city is featured prominently in the new series and "the dialogue is rife with quippy mentions of Sudbury landmarks". The various hockey scenes take place at the Sudbury Community Arena, complete with advertising for local businesses on the boards and the Sudbury Wolves logo can be seen in several background shots. The series also features numerous real-life downtown Sudbury food and entertainment venues, including the Coulson nightclub, Peppi Panini and the Laughing Buddha.
