Why is Letterkenny so Popular?
The Canadian Comedy Series has been renewed for Letterkenny Season 12, a massive running time for a sitcom in today’s world. Yet there are several factors that contribute to the show’s almost Seinfeld-esque popularity.
Moreover, paired with a strong script, a talented cast, and distinct Canadian music, the show has undoubtedly ruled modern-day comedy sitcoms. The emphasis was laid on the background score, which is purely Canadian.
In an interview with Forbes, one of the beloved cast members, Michelle Myett, discussed how the carefully picked music score cemented the show’s popularity earlier. Background music with Canadian punk bands made episodes like “The Mitzvahs” and “Problem Kids” more popular.
With such attention to detail, it is no surprise that the popular sitcom has been running for so long. Letterkenny Season 12 will continue to have bawdy humor in amusing situations and with comedic adventures.
