Season of television series / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sixth season of Canadian sketch comedy series The Kids in the Hall aired in 2022; it was a revival, after 27 years, of the original series, which aired for five seasons from 1988 to 1995. Unlike the first five seasons, which aired on CBC in Canada and HBO, then CBS, in the United States, the sixth season aired on the Amazon Prime Video streaming service. It was greenlit and produced by Amazon Prime Video Canada, and was that subsidiary's first original series.[1] The revival was announced in early 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, filming did not commence until mid-2021.

Unlike the previous seasons, season six was not filmed in front of a live audience, nor is it presented with a laugh track. Characters from previous seasons appear in the sixth season, along with a host of new ones.[2] The new season also features a variety of guest stars, the majority of which take part in a recurring segment called "Friends of Kids of the Hall".[3] The season is again executive produced by Lorne Michaels.[4] The Canadian band Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet took part in the filming of the new season's opening to play the show's theme song, an instrumental version of "Having an Average Weekend" though the original recording was used instead.[5]
