    Sort Of is a Canadian television sitcom, released on CBC Television in 2021.[1] Created by Bilal Baig and Fab Filippo, the series stars Baig as Sabi Mehboob, a non-binary millennial trying to balance their roles as a child of Pakistani immigrant parents, a bartender at an LGBTQ bookstore and café, and a caregiver to the young children of a professional couple.[2]

    In February 2022, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on November 15 on CBC Television and CBC Gem in Canada and on HBO Max in the US on December 1.[3] In December 2022, the series was renewed for a third season.[4] The series has received positive reviews from critics and was the most-nominated television series at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards, winning the award for Best Comedy Series.[5][6]

    Production

    Sort Of was written by Baig, Filippo, Jenn Engels, Nelu Handa and Ian Iqbal Rashid, and directed by Filippo and Renuka Jeyapalan. Ian Iqbal Rashid and Jenn Engels were also co-executive producers.[11]

    The bookstore where Sabi works was inspired by Toronto's Glad Day Bookshop, an LGBTQ bookstore and café in the Church and Wellesley village, although the bookstore scenes in the series were filmed in a vacant space on Queen Street West.[12]

    The series launched on CBC Gem on 5 October 2021, in advance of its television premiere on 9 November.[13] In advance of the CBC Gem launch, selected episodes received a preview screening in the Primetime program at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival.[14] In the United States, HBO Max picked up the series and premiered on 18 November 2021.[15][16] The series has also been picked up by Sky Comedy in the United Kingdom, Stan in Australia (available from October 5), and M6 in France.[17]
