Letterkenny Overview
Letterkenny revolves around the titular small rural Ontario community, which takes its name from Letterkenny in Ireland and is mostly populated by descendants of Irish immigrants who fled the Great Famine of the 1840s. Most episodes begin with the following text: “Letterkenny has a population of 5000 people. These are their issues.” The show follows siblings Wayne and Katy as they run a small farm and produce stand with the help of Wayne’s friends Daryl (also known as “Dary”) and “Squirrely” Dan.
