Hulu released a new Letterkenny Season 12 trailer the other day…

Who’s ready for one final round of cleverly verbose cold opens, behind-the-barn brawls, Canada gooses taking Canada deuces, spontaneous Industrial breakdancing, and Puppers poured right from the tap? Letterkenny is ending, and the Ontario-based gang plans to go out with a bang! The twelfth and final season of Letterkenny lands all at once on December 26, so you can binge the six-episode finale as you please.

Here’s the official synopsis for Letterkenny Season 12 courtesy of Hulu:

The residents of Letterkenny belong to one of three groups: the Hicks, the Skids, and the Hockey Players, who are constantly feuding over seemingly trivial matters that often end with someone getting their ass kicked. In Season 12, the small town contends with a comedy night at Modean’s, a country music hit, the Degens’ bad influence, a new nightclub, and an encore at the Ag Hall.

The official trailer for the 12th and final season of Letterkenny touts a “last brawl” for Wayne — aka “the toughest guy” in town — and a “last call” for the gang at large.

TVLine’s exclusive first look at the final Letterkenny trailer also offers peeks at Katy pondering a change, a blackout that promises to get “stank,” the Skids struggling to define their relationship with the Hicks (after all these years!), and everyone’s overall feeling of being, hm, “stuck.”

The team behind Canadian cult comedy Letterkenny are looking for international hicks, skids and hockey players as they search for global remake deals.

New Metric Media, which produces the comedy, and production partner Bell Media, have brought former Electus and Global Road Television exec Eli Shibley on board to lead these format partnerships.

Shibley, who founded Major Film & Television, is looking to close format deals in territories including Latin America, Nordics, Spain, Benelux, Russia, Ukraine, and Cis. This comes after New Metric Media and WildBrain closed a recent German format deal with Studio’s Imago TV Film und Fernsehproduktion.

Shibley previously managed international co-productions, partnerships, and distribution for Global Road Television and before that he was the Senior Vice President of International Distribution and Co-Productions at Ben Silverman’s Electus.

Pitter patter, let’s get at ‘er.

Hulu announced that it has acquired the exclusive U.S. rights to the cult hit Canadian comedy series, meaning when the seventh season debuts on Oct. 14, it will do so as a Hulu original, as will all future seasons of the show. Hulu already had the rights to the show’s past seasons.

Created by and starring Jared Keeso, the half-hour comedy revolves around the inhabitants of the fictional town of Letterkenny, Ontario. It focuses on the different groups who make up the town, namely the hicks, skids, Christians, and hockey players. In addition to Keeso, the series stars Nathan Dales, Michelle Mylett, K Trevor Wilson, Dylan Playfair, Andrew Herr, Tyler Johnston, Evan Stern, Mark Forward, and Tiio Horn. Jacob Tierney, who developed the show with Keeso and has directed much of the series, also stars.

Hulu is launching Canadian comedy Letterkenny on October 14 as the cult hit segues into a Hulu Original for its seventh season.

The comedy, which is set in a small rural Canadian community featuring hicks, skids and hockey players, debuted last Julu on the digital platform with Hulu picking up all six seasons of the New Metric Media-produced show as an acquisition.

Season seven marks the first run to become a Hulu Original with the company taking exclusive U.S. streaming rights to all upcoming seasons of the show. The deal was done by New Metric Media and Dhx Media. It airs on Bell Media’s Crave in Canada.

Created by and starring Jared Keeso, the half-hour comedy revolves around the dustups Wayne (Keeso) and his pals get into with their small-town rivals. For the hicks, skids and hockey players of Letterkenny, getting your ass kicked is a legitimate concern on a day-to-day basis.

[Editor’s Note: The review below contains spoilers for “Fargo” Season 3, Episode 3, “The Law of Non-Contradiction.”]

Immediate Reaction

Just when you thought “Fargo” was playing it safe in Season 3, in comes a big swing. Episode 3 had a lot of originality to it, breaking the pattern set by Seasons 1 and 2 while elevating one character to telling heights. In broad strokes, “The Law of Non-Contradiction” was dedicated to Carrie Coon’s character, Gloria Burgle; marked the series’ first entry to take place entirely outside of the freezing cold plains of Minnesota, Idaho, or the Dakotas; and unveiled a handful of animated sequences about a child robot searching for the meaning of life.

In other words, arguments that Hawley was ready to recede into formula were put to rest, and those of us already enthralled with Year Three were again reminded of Gloria’s distinct relationship to her policeman predecessors. Just as importantly, it threw an early curveball for everyone, knocking us off our game and reminding us how creative this anthology can be.
