TORONTO (June 14, 2021) – CORNER GAS ANIMATED heads to the pump one last time as the fan-favourite CTV Comedy Channel Original returns for its fourth and final season, Monday, July 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The latest chapter in the 17-year long history of the iconic CORNER GAS franchise is set to conclude with 13, all-new half-hour episodes packed full of guest stars and a series finale featuring a soon-to-be-revealed Hollywood A-lister. New episodes of CORNER GAS ANIMATED are available to stream on CTV.ca and the CTV app. “The entire CORNER GAS team have been fantastic partners for close to two decades, and we have loved collaborating with them on the evolution of this beloved franchise,” said Justin Stockman, VP, Content Development & Programming, Bell Media. “The final season of CORNER GAS ANIMATED will surely leave its mark as the team has once again delivered a phenomenal run of episodes that will bring this chapter to a satisfying close.” “A massive thank you to Bell Media for their support over 48 episodes of CORNER GAS ANIMATED, 107 episodes of CORNER GAS, and championing our feature film CORNER GAS:THE MOVIE,” said Executive Producer Virginia Thompson. “Together, we have made a comedy franchise that is loved the world over.” “CORNER GAS has changed my life in a thousand ways,” said series creator, executive producer and star Brent Butt. “I love the show, the characters, our incredible cast, producers, writers, crew and our amazing fans, who showed up in droves from the beginning, supported us throughout, and helped spread the word around the world. This news marks the closing of another chapter in the brand’s history, but CORNER GAS has a life of its own. So…who knows what the future will hold?” The fourth and final season sees Brent (Brent Butt) impose a ban to keep his father from entering the gas station. Emma (Corrine Koslo) and Oscar (Eric Peterson) face off in a battle of impressions, but Emma is annoyed when everyone loves Oscar’s impression of her the most. Hank (Fred Ewanuick) discovers a bird’s nest, and sets up a livestream so everyone in town can watch the eggs hatch. Lacey (Gabrielle Miller), Wanda (Nancy Robertson), and Karen (Tara Spencer-Nairn) struggle to get noticed on a dating app, and Davis (Lorne Cardinal) and Karen are excited to do some bona-fide police work when an escaped convict is on the loose. This season of CORNER GAS ANIMATED also features a lineup of star-studded cameos including: prolific Canadian actress and member of the Order of Canada, Tantoo Cardinal; SONS OF ANARCHY’s Kim Coates; Marvel superhero Simu Liu from the upcoming Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings; KIDS IN THE HALL’s Mark McKinney; iconic Canadian satirist Rick Mercer; and Steven Page, founding member of Barenaked Ladies. In the season premiere, “Parachute the Messenger,” (Monday, July 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT), Brent and Wanda help Lacey achieve her dream of skydiving by working through her fears, but Wanda seems more excited about the possibility of pushing Lacey out of the plane. Mark McKinney makes a special guest appearance as pilot Frank Shoddy. Launching in April 2018, CORNER GAS ANIMATED quickly established itself as a ratings hit, with the premiere episode debuting as the most-watched series premiere in the history of CTV Comedy Channel, and the entire first season concluding as CTV Comedy Channel’s most-watched series of the broadcast year among total viewers, and in all key demos. The second season of CORNER GAS ANIMATED saw its overall audience increase by 41%. Season 3, which premiered October 2020, is currently the most watched show on CTV Comedy Channel, this broadcast year among the key adult demos.
