Shoresy Season 5 cast and characters: Here’s who brought the Hulu comedy series to life

Not many sports comedies have developed as unique a voice as Shoresy. The Hulu spin-off of cult Canadian hit Letterkenny takes the crude, fast-talking hyper-competitive hockey player Shoresy to Sudbury to try to resurrect a dying senior AAA team. What started as a throwaway character joke has turned into a genuinely heartfelt tale about loyalty, pride, and the frenetic pursuit of not losing ever.

The emotional and competitive stakes are, if anything, raised ever higher in Season 5. Though the series is still loaded with quickfire one-liners and locker-room banter, it also broadens its attention to team culture and individual progress. The cast still has that beautifully odd balance of absurdist humor and heart, and they continue to ground the outrageous dialogue in such realistic performances that Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs becomes more than just a punchline.

Shoresy Season 5 cast and characters, who played whom in the sports drama, explored

Jared Keeso as Shoresy

Jared Keeso returns as Shoresy, the lifeblood of the comedy series. Equal parts objectionable and kinda motivating, Shoresy’s one-track mind is easy, as its sole focus is to never lose again. His leadership is put to the test as the team is under increasing strain in Season 5, and he has to expand beyond the chirp machine to become the chief motivator.

Keeso’s performance grounds the show’s tone. Underneath the crass comedy and perpetual slights is a ravenously loyal competitor who actually cares about his teammates. This season deals with that duality more head-on, exposing the emotional stakes behind his bravado.

Tasya Teles as Nat

Tasya Teles is Nat, the sharp-tongued, controlled general manager of the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs. Nat is the calculating mastermind of the team’s survival, managing financial woes, league politics, and player egos with a steely resolve.

In Season 5, Nat’s scope broadens as she is faced with even greater opportunities and risks for the franchise. Teles exudes quiet intensity and sophistication as the character, grounding Shoresy’s apocalyptic chaos while matching his competitive fire.

Blair Lamora as Ziigwan

Blair Lamora is Ziigwan, Nat’s no-bullshit assistant, and one of the best tongues in Sudbury. Ziigwan’s deadpan delivery and perfectly-timed facial expressions are some of the show’s most biting punchlines.

But beneath the laughs, Season 5 allows Ziigwan a bigger role story-wise within the operations of the Bulldogs. Lamora’s portrayal emphasizes the close-knit chemistry off-ice, too, showing how much the team’s survival relies on more than just on-ice exploits.

Jonathan-Ismaël Diaby as Dolo

Ex-hockey player Jonathan-Ismaël Diaby adds grit to Dolo, the talented and enigmatic attacker whose play does a lot of the talking. Dolo captures the swagger and pomp of professional hockey, contributing to the Bulldogs’ credibility on the ice.

In Season 5, Dolo’s competitive streak will run parallel to Shoresy’s do-whatever-it-takes-to-win attitude, making them the heart of the team. Jonathan-Ismaël Diaby’s athleticism and subtly comedic portrayal complements the show’s tone of bridging realistic sports with humor.

The larger cast keeps fleshing out the world of the show. Ryan McDonell plays Mark Michaels, Max Bouffard appears as JJ Frankie JJ, Andrew “The Canon” Antsanen is seen as Goody, and a few other returning Badgers provide some locker-room chemistry that really carries the series. Their synchronized banter, pre-game rituals, and enduring devotion to one another drive the underdog melodrama the series is known for.

The ensemble cast as a whole elevates the show from a run-of-the-mill spinoff to a fully fledged sports comedy with heart. Season 5, which plays on the team’s maturation, mixes gross-out humor with real teamwork, reinforcing the message that though the Bulldogs may chirp nonstop, they also skate with purpose.
