It comes from our longstanding relationship with the CBC, where it has already enjoyed two hit seasons, and we know it will delight audiences in its new U.S. home on The CW.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Based on the award-winning, bestselling memoir from Mark Critch (&#8220;<em>This Hour Has 22 Minutes<\/em>&#8220;), SON OF A CRITCH is the hilarious and very real story of a young Mark coming of age in the 1980s. The series is a heartfelt window in the life of a child &#8211; who is much older inside than his 11 years &#8211; using comedy and self-deprecation to win friends and connect with the small collection of people in his limited world. The comedy stars Mark Critch as his father, Mike, and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (<em>Pinocchio<\/em>) as young Mark. Claire Rankin (Molly&#8217;s Game) stars as Mark&#8217;s mother, Mary, alongside newcomers Sophia Powers and Mark Rivera, who play classmates of young Mark. Colton Gobbo (&#8220;<em>Ginny &amp; Georgia<\/em>&#8220;) plays Mark&#8217;s older brother, Mike Jr., and Golden Globe\u00ae and SAG nominee Malcolm McDowell (<em>A Clockwork Orange, Bombshell<\/em>) also stars as Patrick &#8220;Pop&#8221; Critch.<\/p>\n<p>SON OF A CRITCH&#8217;s premiere season in Canada ranked as the #1 scripted program on CBC in key audience demos. Since its premiere, it has ranked as one of the top 5 most-watched Canadian comedies overall, and Season 2 was the most-watched English-language Canadian comedy series and CBC&#8217;s most-watched program with 18-49 and 25-54 audiences. The series has received four prestigious Canadian Screen Award nominations and two Directors Guild of Canada nominations. SON OF A CRITCH was recently renewed for a third season and will be produced in association with The CW.<\/p><div id=\"morty-1327372718\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>SON OF A CRITCH is created by Mark Critch and Tim McAuliffe (&#8220;The Office,&#8221; &#8220;Last Man on Earth&#8221;) and produced by Emmy\u00ae and Golden Globe\u00ae-winning producer Andrew Barnsley (&#8220;Schitt&#8217;s Creek&#8221;).
