EXCLUSIVE: Canadian comedy Run the Burbs is in production for its third run. Season 3 CBC and Pier 21 Films series from Andrew Phung and Scott Townend is in production around Toronto, Hamilton and Barrie.

It follows a loving Vietnamese and Indian family, the Phams, in the suburbs and their oddball neighbors. Phung stars in the ensemble comedy alongside the likes of Rakhee Morzaria, Zoriah Wong and Roman Pesino.

The new season will run to 13 episodes and launch in winter 2024 on CBC and streamer CBC Gem. It will include a now-annual Vietnamese Lunar New Year – Tết – episode and will once again include DJ and rapper Kardinall Offishall, in a role that has brought him a 2023 CSA nomination alongside Phung and Morzaria. “Having the opportunity to showcase this family on television has been a dream come true,” said creators Phung and Townend. “It’s an absolute joy seeing the Phams grow from season to season. “We’re so proud to shine a spotlight on how they live life and celebrate culture authentically.

Coming off a hugely successful second season, our incredible ensemble cast and amazing creative team are elevating everything we know and love about these characters and life in the burbs.
