Son of a Critch is a Canadian sitcom television series, created by Mark Critch and Tim McAuliffe, that premiered on January 4, 2022 on CBC. Based on the memoir of the same name by Critch, the semi-autobiographical series follows an adolescent Mark as he grows up in the 1980s in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.

The series is a coming of age story based on the childhood and adolescence of Canadian comedian Mark Critch. At the start of the series, 11-year-old Mark is growing up in 1980s Newfoundland, where he navigates starting junior high school (at St. Brigit's), making friends, and connecting with the small group of people in his limited world.

By season four: "From Mark's relentless pursuit of his creative dreams to his burgeoning romance with Fox, we'll watch as he devotedly navigates a quickly growing world. It’s a world filled with new promise, potential and love. And he won't be alone. Every member of his household will also be chasing something greater."

In 2018, Critch published a memoir about his childhood in Newfoundland. Following its release, McAuliffe suggested developing the book into a television series, which led to him and Critch creating scripts to pitch to various networks. In June 2021, CBC announced they had ordered Son of a Critch to series.

The series made its Canadian broadcast premiere on CBC Television on January 4, 2022, as well as CBC's streaming platform, CBC Gem.

Production companies involved with the series include Project 10 Productions, and Take the Shot Productions. Lionsgate distributes the series outside Canada. On February 28, 2022, CBC renewed the series for a second season.

Canadian actor/producer Allan Hawco serves as executive producer for the series through his company Hawco Productions. Hawco and Mark Critch are old friends.

On March 23, 2023, the series was renewed for a third season, with The CW joining CBC and Lionsgate as a distribution company.
