Consider this your official warning: the Kim family is packing up the store. Kim’s Convenience, one of the most heartwarming and quietly brilliant Canadian sitcoms of the past decade, is leaving Netflix worldwide on June 2, 2026. That gives you less than a month to watch — or rewatch — all 65 episodes.
Why Is It Leaving Netflix?
No drama, no controversy — just the standard mechanics of streaming licensing. Netflix first brought Kim’s Convenience to international audiences back in 2018, picking up the global rights to the CBC hit and releasing its first two seasons to a whole new worldwide fanbase. From there, it became a quiet word-of-mouth sensation, finding massive international audiences who had never heard of it before.
The final Season 5 landed on Netflix internationally in June 2021. Five years later, that licensing window has simply expired — exactly as Netflix’s standard agreements tend to work with third-party library titles. The “Closed” sign goes up on June 2nd, globally, covering the US, UK, Australia, and virtually every other region simultaneously.

The show follows the Korean-Canadian Kim family running a convenience store in Toronto — navigating generational clashes, immigrant identity, love, and everyday absurdity with incredible warmth and wit. Starring Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as the unforgettable Appa, Jean Yoon as Umma, Andrea Bang as Janet, and Simu Liu as Jung — long before his Marvel breakthrough in Shang-Chi — it remains one of the most genuinely feel-good shows ever made.
Sadly, the series ended abruptly in 2021 after its co-creators departed the project, leaving the story without the conclusion it truly deserved. But what remains is five seasons of pure, joyful television.
You Have Until June 1st — Here’s How to Tackle 65 Episodes
At roughly 22 minutes per episode, the full series is about 23 hours of viewing. That is very doable before the June 2nd deadline — especially for a show this easy to binge. Don’t put it off.
