Letterkenny is a Canadian television sitcom, slated to debut on The Comedy Network and CraveTV in 2016.[1] The show stars Jared Keeso as Wayne and Nathan Dales as Daryl, two friends living in the small town of Letterkenny, Ontario,[1] a fictional community loosely based on Keeso's own hometown of Listowel, Ontario.[1]

It is the first original series commissioned by CraveTV,[2] and will debut on that platform on February 7, 2016.[3]
