An under-the-radar modern comedy show that might surprise with its high ratings is “Letterkenny,” from creators Jared Keeso and Jacob Tierney. Currently, with an 8.7 on IMDb, its fan base seems small, but very dedicated. Running from 2016 up to now, the show has had a glowing enough reception to have received an animated spin-off in “Littlekenny” from 2019. Premiering this month on Hulu comes another spin-off through “Shoresy,” created by and starring Jared Keeso as the titular character from “Letterkenny” now with his own show. Ahead of its release this weekend, a trailer is now available online to offer a first look.
