The Shoresy cast reveals which Letterkenny characters they would want to see crossover in the spinoff as the show builds its own identity distinct from the core show. Following the titular foul-mouthed hockey player when he joins the Sudbury Bulldogs, the Hulu comedy expands the praised Canadian comedy from a 20-straight-game losing run to possible title contenders. Like its predecessor, Shoresy has been a smash for Hulu, earning generally good ratings and reviews for the streamer.
Screen Rant spoke with performers Tasya Teles, Keilani Elizabeth Rose, Blair Lamora, and Ryan McDonell to honor the return of the show and explore Shoresy season 3. Though have some other ambitions as well, the group usually pointed to Jonesy and Reilly as the most likely candidates to appear when asked which Letterkenny characters they would want to see Crossover into the Spinoff show. View what they had to offer below.
The Shoresy cast has only seen a few faces from the Letterkenny cast over the first two seasons of the show, mostly that of creator/writer Jared Keeso in the titular character, which he started on the mainstream show along with playing Wayne. With Bro Dude a major sponsor in the Sudbury hockey scene and her being a co-host on a sportscasting show for the area, Kim Cloutier's Anik Archambault also found her way crossing over into the Spinoff show from its initial season.
Though no other well-known characters have surfaced in Shoresy thus far, the show has also seen the returns of Letterkenny co-developer/director Jacob Tierney, now playing Hockey announcer, Benoit "Benny" Brodeur, and Jonathan Torrens, who played Noah Dyck in the mainline show, fellow announcer Rémy Nadeau. For other Letterkenny performers, this could be the ideal chance as Tierney and Keeso are obviously open to returning former colleagues in new roles. It could also let the returning performers highlight fresh aspects of their acting ability.
With their different looks and histories, Tasya Teles, who portrays Nat on Shoresy, expressed curiosity in seeing how her character would negotiate the Letterkenny universe. Playing the funny and aggressive Jenn on Shoresy, Keilani Elizabeth Rose hopes to see Tiio Horn—who portrays Tanis on Letterkenny—make a Crossover visit. Playing the harsh and demanding Sash, Blair Lamora feels a crossover with Jonesy and Reilly would produce funny banter and interesting dynamics. Playing the deliciously chaotic Shoresy, Ryan McDonell hints at a possible crossover between the two programs by implying family links.
Given Shoresy mostly concentrates on the hockey world, Lamora and Teles' pitches for Dylan Playfair'sReilly and Andrew Herr's Jonesy to return may be the more simply explainable of Letterkenny character returns for the Spinoff. But with the show also advocating a strong forward portrayal of Canada's Indigenous population, returning Kaniehtiio Horn's Tanis might be just as realistic of a fan-favorite character's return as the hockey players. Hulu inked a contract with Keeso to create further Letterkenny episodes, hence there could be alternative routes for original characters to make a comeback to the series.
Both Letterkenny and Shoresy are cherished Canadian comedies with distinctive brand of comedy. A offshoot of Letterkenny, Shoresy offers original viewpoints on Canadian culture and humor while nevertheless having a similar style and tone. While Letterkenny approaches life in a tiny town more serious and sarcastic, Shoresy is a more passionate and aggressive show with a cast of Characters always fighting for supremacy in the hockey world. For those of Canadian Comedy, both shows—despite their differences—have become somewhat well-known for their humor and likable characters. They are thus a must-watch.
A Crossover between both programs has been much anticipated by fans of both, and the cast's expectations for particular characters to show on Shoresy feed those wants. With the common creators and cast as well as the inherent synergy between the two programs, there is great potential for a crossover. Though one thing is certain: the characters, the humor, and the stories of both Shoresy and Letterkenny will surely captivate viewers for years to come. Whether a crossover will ever occur is still to be seen.
