Son of a Critch S3

Season 3 of Son of a Critch picks up with the now 14-year-old Mark eager to begin his senior year of elementary school. Finally, he’ll be at the top of the social food chain! Or will he?

Based on the best-selling memoir from Mark Critch, the Canadian comedy series is a coming-of-age story set​ in 1980s Newfoundland, where the young Mark Critch – much older​ than his years – uses comedy and self-deprecation to find his place in the​ world.

Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and show creator Mark Critch were nominated for Canadian Screen Awards this year as the young Mark and his dad. Hollywood Walk-of-Famer Malcolm McDowell (Bombshell, A Clockwork Orange) plays the young Mark’s grandfather.

Already renewed for a fourth season, Son of a Critch cracked a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes on its release in 2022, and was nominated for seven Canadian Screen Awards this year, including Best Comedy Series.
