Shoresy Season 5: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 23, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated July 23, 2025, 14:13 IST Alright, hockey fans, let's talk Shoresy ! The Letterkenny spin-off that's all about chirps, heart, and the gritty charm of Sudbury hockey has us pumped for Season 5. After Season 4 dropped on Crave (January 24, 2025) and Hulu (February 26, 2025), the big question is: what's next for Shoresy and the Sudbury Bulldogs? From release date guesses to cast news and plot hints, here's the full scoop on Shoresy Season 5—everything we know so far, straight from the rink. When Could Shoresy Season 5 Hit Screens? No official release date yet, but let's piece it together. Shoresy has been cranking out seasons like clockwork, one per year since 2022. Season 4 was filmed in summer 2024 and landed on Crave in January 2025, with Hulu dropping it a month later. Word is, Season 5 production kicks off in spring 2025. If the team sticks to their usual pace, we're looking at a Crave premiere in January or February 2026, with Hulu likely following in February or March 2026. Keep your eyes on Crave or Hulu's socials for the official drop date—fingers crossed it's sooner rather than later! Who's Back for Shoresy Season 5? The Sudbury Bulldogs wouldn't be the same without their core crew, and most of the fan-favorites are confirmed to return. Here's who's lacing up for Season 5: Jared Keeso as Shoresy: The chirp-slinging, mom-loving captain is back, ready to lead (and probably offend) with passion. Tasya Teles as Nat: The Bulldogs' sharp-witted owner will keep Shoresy in line—or at least try to. Blair Lamora as Ziigwan: Nat's right-hand woman, bringing her no-BS vibe to the rink. Keilani Rose as Miigwan: The other half of Nat's dynamic duo, Miigwan's set to return, too. Jonathan-Ismaël Diaby as Dolo: The ex-NHLer's chill, hip-hop-loving energy is a lock for Season 5. Terry Ryan as Ted 'Hitch' Hitchcock: Another former pro hockey player, Hitch is back for more laughs. We're still waiting on word about other Bulldogs or new faces. Fans on Reddit are begging for characters like Fish to make a comeback, and there's chatter about Letterkenny crossovers (think Laurence Leboeuf or Scott Thompson) or even big-name guests like Donald Glover—though that's just wishful thinking for now. The show loves tossing in real hockey players, so expect some surprises. What's the Plot for Shoresy Season 5? Season 4 left us with some big changes. After their cup win, the Bulldogs dealt with summer shenanigans in Sudbury, and Shoresy made the gut-punch call to retire from competitive hockey due to injuries. So, what's next? While the writers are keeping things hush-hush, Season 5 will likely dig into Shoresy's life off the ice, exploring how he and the team adjust. Will the Bulldogs stay tight-knit without the rink? Could new rivalries spark up? Expect the show's classic mix of crude humor, team loyalty, and those quiet, heartfelt moments that hit you right in the feels. Sudbury's real-life spots, like the Sudbury Community Arena or local bars, will probably keep setting the scene. Reddit fans are buzzing about possible roster shake-ups—some even want JJ benched for being a flaky teammate—but we'll have to wait and see what the writers cook up.

Man (20s) appears in court charged with trying to communicate with child for sexual purposes
A man has appeared in court charged with trying to communicate with a child for sexual purposes in Co Donegal. The accused man (20s) was brought before Letterkenny District Court by detectives. It follows allegations against him which were widely shared on social media. Judge Eiteain Cunningham heard how the man used both Snapchat and Whatsapp to communicate with someone who he thought was a 13-year-old child. READ MORE The man cannot be named for legal reasons. When arrested, he was found in possession of five condoms while 'other sexual paraphernalia' was found in a property. Messages found on his phone allegedly claim how he asked the 'girl' if she was a virgin and if they could have sex in an apartment he had rented. He was charged on July 16th that between July 10th, 2025 and July 15th, 2025, both dates inclusive, within the State, he did by means of information and communication technology, namely Snapchat and WhatsApp, communicate with another person for the purpose of facilitating the sexual exploitation of a child under the age of 17. Sergeant Jim Collins told the court gardaí were objecting to bail. He said there was 'quite a lot of strong evidence' in the matter. Sergeant Collins said detectives had obtained copies of conversations between the accused man and what was described as 'a fictional child', who he believed was 13 years of age on Snapchat and WhatsApp. The man, with an address in the Dublin area, had booked an apartment in Letterkenny for a number of days. Gardaí also seized other items and documents from the man's vehicle. Sergeant Collins said there were concerns the defendant would attempt to flee the jurisdiction. . He said there were also concerns that, if released on bail, the man could commit further offences of a similar nature. The man has no previous convictions and has never been before the court on other matters. The man's solicitor, Rory O'Brien, told the court his client has a first-class honours degree from an Irish university. Until recently he was in active employment, but is now unemployed. The court heard the accused man would have 'no difficulty' handing his passport to the authorities. Mr O'Brien told Judge Cunningham that bail could be considered with conditions attached. However, the judge found the prosecution to have established a likelihood of the accused trying to evade justice. The man was remanded in custody to appear before a future sitting of Letterkenny District Court. Under a new law introduced in 2024, people charged with such offences are entitled to anonymity until they are convicted or the restriction is otherwise lifted by a court. Judge Cunningham directed that a publication order should remain at this time.

Retired Garda given permission to challenge Garda commissioner over Irish-speaking allowance
A retired garda sergeant has been given High Court permission to challenge an alleged failure to decide on an application to restore his Gaeltacht allowance, which he claims affects his pension entitlements. Paul Wallace, of Burtonport, Letterkenny, is taking an action of judicial review against the Garda Commissioner over what he claims is their failure or refusal to determine his application to have the allowance restored to him following his January 2023 application. Advertisement Mr Wallace is also seeking a declaration from the court that the alleged continued failure to restore or even decide the matter is 'unlawful' in that it breaches the respondent's obligation to determine financial issues. It is also submitted that it results in Mr Wallace being unable to pursue any internal appeal, which he argues is in breach of fair procedures. Mr Wallace states in his court papers that he was attested as a Garda in 1985, was allocated to Monaghan Garda Station and was promoted to sergeant in November 1993. He was allocated to Glencolmcille Garda Station in Donegal that month. He submits that he was transferred to Letterkenny in June 1997 and then to Bun Beag in November 2000. Glencolmcille and Bun Beag are in Gaeltacht areas in Co Donegal. Advertisement Mr Wallace accepted the position of Divisional Crime Prevention Officer in November 2002 and was transferred to Letterkenny. There his role included giving interviews in Irish to print and broadcast media – TG4 and Raidió na Gaeltachta having studios in Donegal - as part of a service to the entire county, including Gaeltacht islands inhabited by Irish-speakers. At the time of his training, his competency in Irish was judged to be at 63 per cent - this rose to 82 per cent in 2003. Mr Wallace was in receipt of the allowance for four years from 2003 and in 2007 and applied for its restoration in 2007 but was refused on the basis that Letterkenny was not designated as a Gaeltacht area at the time. Advertisement In August 2020, however, Letterkenny was designated as a 'Gaeltacht service town' and the applicant claims he had given service to the Gaeltacht community since 2002. He reapplied for allowance consideration in January 2023 but retired in March 2024 without, he claims, any update from Garda HQ over his application. Ireland Man jailed for defiling employer's 15-year-old dau... Read More Mr Wallace took his Garda pension which did not include his allowance, resulting in, he claims, him being deprived of €8,708.17 from his one-off gratuity payment upon retirement and €249.38 a month from his regular pension. Mr Wallace claims that An Garda Síochána is under a duty to exercise statutory powers in a "prompt and reasonable manner" in terms of the rights of people to fair procedures. 'On any analysis, the respondent [the Garda Commissioner] has not acted promptly or reasonably in failing or refusing to take the decision in issue,' he submits. At the High Court on Monday, Ms Justice Mary Rose Gearty granted the application for leave brought by Paul McGarry SC, for Mr Wallace, and adjourned the matter to October.
