About this season
NEXT STOP is an anthology comedy series that chronicles the lives of Black Torontonians struggling to stay afloat and sane in the sprawling city. Energetically paced and richly visual, the show charts a course through chaotic, surreal, and hilarious vignettes of Toronto 'yutes' confronting the challenges of life in a competitive, expensive, and rapidly changing city.
