Awe Shucks! The Comedy/Drama Show, ‘Sort Of’ To End With Season 3 Via CBC & Max.
Bilal Baig (who also stars in the series) and Fab Filippo announced in an Instagram post Thursday that the forthcoming third season of Sort Of will be its last on Canada’s CBC and streamer Max. The streamer confirmed the ending; season three is set to premiere Nov. 17 in Canada and early next year on Max.
“Along with the producing team behind Sort Of, we have chosen to end the series with this upcoming third and final season,” Baig and Filippo wrote. “We want to thank you for welcoming this show so graciously into your worlds and for celebrating our work with generosity.”
Max and the CBC renewed Sort Of for a third season in December 2022. The series centers on Sabi (Baig), a gender fluid millennial who is in transition in every aspect of their life. The coming-of-age story exposes the labels we once poured ourselves into as no longer applicable — to anyone.
“It’s been such an incredible privilege to make this show for these last three years, working with every single person, cast and crew, who helped make our vision a reality,” Baig and Filippo wrote. “We feel incredibly fortunate to have received your love and enthusiasm and passion for all things Sort Of and to be totally real, to end the show was a very difficult decision to make.
“We set out to tell a story about a kind of transition in Sabi’s life, and how those around them also change — and we feel in this coming season that story came to an end in a way that felt right for us.”
The creators stressed that while they’re aware that shows centering queer and transgender characters “tend to get canceled early on,” that’s not the case with Sort Of. “We made this third season knowing it would be our last,” they wrote. “A big shout-out to [producer] Sphere Media, CBC and Max for believing in the story and for helping us tell it over these last few years.”
They continued, “We’re also aware that this show is ending at a time when trans communities continue to be targeted and trans rights are being constantly attacked. Our hope is that this series can continue to affirm lives and spark conversations well after the final season drops. Sort Of will always exist, despite all the transphobia in our world.”
Baig and Filippo are co-showrunners of the series and executive produce with Jennifer Kawaja of Sphere Media." - Hollywoodreporter.com
