For years, Netflix has been the go-to destination for comfort-watch sitcoms—those easy-to-binge shows you throw on while winding down, the ones that feel like a warm hug. But on June 2, 2026, one of the platform's most cherished series is saying goodbye. Kim's Convenience, the Canadian sitcom that launched Simu Liu into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is leaving Netflix for good.
All five seasons of the show will exit the streamer on that date, so if you haven't yet visited the Kim family's Toronto convenience store, now's the time. The series follows a Korean-Canadian family running a corner store, juggling eccentric customers, generational clashes, and a whole lot of heart. It's the kind of show that makes you laugh, tear up, and immediately want to recommend it to everyone you know.
Who Stars in 'Kim's Convenience'?
The cast is a who's who of talent that has since exploded into major franchises. Paul Sun-Hyung Lee (The Mandalorian) plays Appa, the stubborn but loving patriarch. Jean Yoon (Orphan Black) is Umma, the family matriarch. Andrea Bang (Luce) portrays Janet, their ambitious photographer daughter. And then there's Simu Liu as Jung Kim, the estranged son whose journey from rebellious teen to responsible adult anchors much of the drama.
Andrew Phung (Run the Burbs) plays Kimchee, Jung's loyal best friend and roommate, while Nicole Power (Strays) is Shannon Ross, Jung's awkward but endearing boss. Together, this ensemble created magic that still resonates years later.
Why 'Kim's Convenience' Matters
Part of the show's lasting legacy is how it launched its cast into superstardom. Liu went from playing Jung to becoming Marvel's Shang-Chi, and he'll soon suit up as an Avenger in Avengers: Doomsday. Meanwhile, Sun-Hyung Lee has become a familiar face in a galaxy far, far away as New Republic pilot Carson Teva, a frenemy to Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin in The Mandalorian.
But the reason they moved on to bigger things is because they were so good in Kim's Convenience in the first place. The series is a genuine delight—funny, heartfelt, and full of moments that feel both specific and universal. It's the kind of show that deserves a spot on your watchlist before it disappears.
