Max Comedy Sort Of to End With Season 3 — Read Creators’ Statement

Canadian comedy series Sort Of, which airs Stateside on Max, will end with its previously announced third season, TVLine has confirmed.

Series co-creators Bilal Baig and Fab Filippo first announced the news in a lengthy Instagram post on Thursday.

“We want to thank you for welcoming this show so graciously into your worlds and for celebrating our work with generosity,” they wrote. “We know how much the series means to a lot of you — it means so much to us too. It’s been such an incredible privilege to make this show for these last three years, working with every single person, cast and crew, who helped make our vision a reality. We feel incredibly fortunate to have received your love and enthusiasm and passion for all things Sort Of and to be totally real, to end the show was a very difficult decision to make. We set out to tell a story about a kind of transition in Sabi’s life, and how those around them also change — and we feel in this coming season that story came to an end in a way that felt right for us.

“We’re aware that series like ours, shows that feature queer and trans characters, tend to get cancelled early on, and we know that’s been happening a lot recently,” the statement continued. “We want to say that’s not what’s going down here. We made this third season knowing it would be our last. A big shout-out to Sphere Media, CBC and Max for believing in the story and for helping us tell it over these last few years. We’re also aware that this show is ending at a time when trans communities continue to be targeted and trans rights are being constantly attacked. Our hope is that this series can continue to affirm lives and spark conversations well after the final season drops. Sort Of will always exist, despite all the transphobia in our world.”

Sort Of, which debuted in 2021, stars Baig as Sabi Mehboob, a non-binary millennial trying to balance their various roles in life. Season 3 will kick off on Canada’s CBC beginning Friday, Nov. 17, and will land on Max in early 2024.
