Fans of the original catchphrase riddled series will be happy to hear thatShoresywill feature the same style ofraunchy insults, pop-culture references, puns, chirps, mispronounced words and rural Canadian colloquialisms, but will also feature more physical comedy than its predecessor.

Additionally, the show will hold some similar staples of Letterkenny life, with a bar called The Doghouse taking the place of Modeans, where locals congregate to talk hockey over a Gus ‘n Brew.
