Corner Gas Animated


Corner Gas Animated is a Canadian adult animated sitcom, created by Brent Butt. The series is a revival of the live-action sitcom Corner Gas, which was originally broadcast from 2004 to 2009. The show premiered on April 2, 2018, on The Comedy Network, and was carried over when the channel became CTV Comedy Channel one year later.
The fourth and final season premiered on July 5, 2021.

Premise

The series follows the everyday lives of the residents of the fictional small town of Dog River, Saskatchewan. Though similar to the live-action series, the creators acknowledged that the animated format gave them opportunities to do stranger and more unrealistic things that the original series could not depict. For instance, cutaway gags in the animated version include a Mad Max spoof and a gory fight between a Sasquatch and a unicorn.

Cast

All the original Corner Gas actors reprised their roles, with the exception of Janet Wright, who died in 2016. Actress Corrine Koslo was selected to voice Emma Leroy in Wright's place.

Corner Gas Animated was first announced in December 2016. In June 2018, CTV Comedy Channel renewed the series for a second season.
The second season premiered on July 1, 2019, and featured several Canadian and international celebrities appearing cameos and guest spots; including Michael J. Fox, Jann Arden, comedian Russell Peters, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, astronaut Chris Hadfield and Epic Meal Time's Harley Morenstein.
In October 2019, the show was renewed for a third season. It was also announced, on October 3, that Amazon-owned IMDb TV would exclusively stream the Corner Gas catalogue, including Corner Gas Animated, starting on October 15.
In June 2021, Brent Butt announced that the fourth season, to premiere on July 5, would be the final season, as CTV had chosen not to continue it in the future.
