Nirvanna the Band the Show is a Canadian mockumentary sitcom television series, created by Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol, who co-star as fictionalised versions of themselves. The show is adapted from the web series Nirvana the Band the Show, which was co-created and independently produced and released online by Johnson and McCarrol between 2007–2009.
It premiered on February 2, 2017 and aired on Viceland for two seasons concluding on February 9, 2018. A third season was partially produced but remains unaired. A feature film based on both the web series and the television series, Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, premiered at SXSW on March 9, 2025. Like its predecessor, the show developed a dedicated cult following.
