VANCOUVER – Kim's Convenience creator Thunderbird Entertainment has struck a distribution deal with Encore Inflight Limited for the first two seasons of the Canadian hit comedy.
The agreement will see the series available for in-flight viewing on airlines including Cathay Pacific, Emirates, SilkAir, Scoot, Royal Brunei Airways, Thai Airways, Qantas, and Qatar Airways.
Season three of Kim's Convenience, which premiered in Canada on CBC in January, will also be part of the deal once it is available. A fourth season will begin shooting this spring.
"Everyone at Thunderbird is thrilled by the expanding international interest and acclaim that Kim's Convenience is receiving, now including some of the world's most prestigious airlines and their customers," said Thunderbird’s director of distribution Jhod Cardinal, in the news release. “While the fictional Kim family lives in downtown Toronto, our new partnership with Encore Airlines creates the opportunity for in-flight passengers to experience the wit, charm and heart of the series, bringing them smiles as they travel around the world."
