Schitt’s Creek had an interesting lifespan at least in the United States. The tv show first launched back in 2015, but it didn’t actually pick up steam in the United States until the pandemic hit in 2020. The Canadian-based television show saw success over in Canada, but it only became a household name in the US just before it ended.
2020 proved to be the last season of the show, which was disappointing to US fans since they’d only just gotten into watching it. But will there ever be a Schitt’s Creek reboot? Here’s everything we know.

Sctv alum Dave Thomas has teamed with actor and son Harrison Thomas to develop the dark comedy The Orange for the CBC and BBC Studios.
The father-son sitcom, produced by Canada’s Project 10 Productions, follows a family that witnesses a gangland bombing and is placed by The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in a witness protection program in Rye, England. Only when they reach their new U.K. home does the family realize the Mounties have been dumping all their witnesses and informants in Rye, including Canada’s most hardened criminals who are now their next-door neighbors.
Canadian comic and actor Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis played Sctv‘s and Saturday Night Live’s beer-loving McKenzie brothers during the 1980s. Their act, which was launched to mock government mandated Canadian TV content rules, was spun off into the 1983 cult comedy Strange Brew, and that year also made the late-night transition stateside to SNL.

Hulu announced onApril 28 that the beloved, Emmy-winning sitcom “Schitt’s Creek” will move to the streamer October 3, moving off its current home at Netflix.
“Schitt’s Creek” stars Eugene Levy as formerly wealthy media mogul Johnny, who moves his family — former soap star Moira (Catherine O’Hara), entrepreneur David (Daniel Levy), and influencer Alexis (Annie Murphy) — to small town Schitt’s Creek, which he once purchased as a gag.
The six-season series premiered in 2015 on Canadian cable network CBC Television and gained viral popularity once it began streaming on Netflix. The final season swept the 2020 Emmy Awards in the comedy categories, marking the most wins in a single season.
Hulu will now be the dedicated subscription VOD destination for “Schitt’s Creek,” beginning in October.

Hulu is taking rights to popular streaming title Schitt’s Creek, with all six seasons of the comedy series shifting over from Netflix this fall.
The change will take effect on October 3, the Disney-run streaming service announced.
The multi-year deal is the latest in a string of nine-figure library transactions in the streaming sector in recent years, with shows like The Office, Friends and Seinfeld switching domestic homes. Having a deep catalog with a few marquee offerings is generally seen as a way to limit the number of subscribers canceling service in a given month (aka churn), but a strong slate of originals is what typically motivates new customers to start subscribing. The overall boom in streaming and the launch of a handful of well-fortified new outlets, however, have created robust buy-side demand for pre-sold film and TV titles.
In announcing the move, Hulu didn’t position the show as a musty older title.

“Nomadland” look home the top film prize at the 2021 Producers Guild Awards Wednesday, bringing it closer to a Best Picture win. The winner of the PGA Awards’ top prize has historically been a strong indicator of which film will will go on to win the Best Picture Oscar. Since 1989, the PGA winner has matched up with the top Oscar 21 out of 31 times. It happened in 2018 with “Green Book,” but not last year: “1917” won at the 2020 PGAs, but the Academy Award for Best Picture went to “Parasite.”
This year, 10 movies competed for the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures (see the full list of nominees and winners below). Seven 2021 PGA nominees for the top prize are also 2021 Oscar Best Picture nominees: “Judas and the Black Messiah,” “Mank,” “Minari,” “Nomadland,” “Promising Young Woman,” “Sound Of Metal,” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”

Canadian singer-songwriter and actor Jann Arden is coming to Hulu.
Hit comedy “Jann,” created by series star Arden with Leah Gauthier and Jennica Harper, and executive produced by Andrew Barnsley (“Schitt’s Creek”) will debut both its seasons on the streamer in early 2021.
In “Jann,” Arden plays a fictionalized, self-deprecating version of herself: a singer-songwriter of a “certain age” in severe denial of the harsh reality that her former music career is slowly fading away. With her personal life also in shambles, the series — which airs on Canadian broadcaster CTV — takes a comic look at her attempts to stage a personal and professional comeback.
The series is a CTV, Project 10 Productions and SEVEN24 Films production, consisting of six episodes in its first season and eight in its second. Hulu has exclusive U.S. rights. “Jann” was nominated for several awards at the Canadian Screen Awards, and Arden and Harper won...

Exclusive: Schitt’s Creek has become the show to emulate when it comes to Canadian producers looking to find success outside of the Great White North.
Starting as a small comedy on Canadian public broadcaster, it has become a huge hit in the U.S. and around the world after launching on Pop TV and subsequently Netflix and stands a good chance at this weekend’s Emmys. It is one of a handful of Canadian shows, along with the likes of Nickelodeon’s Paw Patrol, to become as successful as any comedy south of the border.
Now, a government-backed scheme has identified six Canadian producers with projects that they hope to replicate this success.
The Canadian Creative Accelerator, which is backed by the Trade Commissioner Service of the Consulate General of Canada in Los Angeles and the Government of Quebec, has highlighted six shows that will receive help and money to break out in the States.

Growing in popularity and acclaim every year over its six-season run, Schitt’s Creek came to a truly happy ending with its nuptials-fueled series finale in April. However, for co-creator and star Daniel Levy, real satisfaction for the Pop TV show was to be found in staying true to itself.
“Our biggest concern at the end of the day was making a first season of the show that we could be Ok with if it didn’t go,” Levy said during the show’s panel at Deadline’s virtual Contenders Television event. “It was that quest for closure that was really the most important thing for us — telling the story as purely and specifically and comedically and tonally as we possibly could make it,” he added, with co-star and onscreen sister Annie Murphy joining him on the panel for a return visit to Deadline’s annual small-screen event.

The last two Producers Guild of America Awards told us which movies — “Green Book” (2019) and “The Shape of Water” (2018) — would win the Oscar for Best Picture weeks before the Academy Awards. In fact, 21 of the previous PGA Awards winners have then gone on to claim Best Picture victories.
For the 31st annual ceremony slated for Saturday, January 18 at the Hollywood Palladium, we already know the top choice will be at the very least a major front-runner for this year’s Oscar. The PGA’s 10 nominated films are “Ford v Ferrari,” “The Irishman,” “Jojo Rabbit,” “Joker,” “Knives Out,” “Little Women,” “Marriage Story,” “1917,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “Parasite.” All but “Knives Out” contend at the Oscars for Best Picture.

The Producers Guild of America has revealed its nominees in the motion picture and television categories for its 31st Annual Producers Guild Awards; nominees include recent Golden Globe winners “1917,” “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” “Missing Link,” “Succession,” “Fleabag” and “Chernobyl.”
The PGA, which has about 8,200 members, has matched the Oscar for best picture in 21 of its 30 years, including “The Green Book” last year and “The Shape of Water” in 2018.
The PGA uses a preferential balloting system that’s similar to that employed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The PGA and AMPAS both expanded their voting for the top film to 10 nominees in 2009. About three-quarters of the PGA’s Zanuck nominees wind up as Oscar best picture nominees.
On the TV side, among all of the drama and comedy nominees, only “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (last year’s comedy winner) is a repeat from last year.

Pop TV has released the first trailer for the final season of “Schitt’s Creek,” and it’s full of hugs and tears.
The critically beloved sitcom is set to return for its sixth and final season on Jan. 7, with 14 more episodes before the Rose family signs off and — judging by the trailer — finally move out of Schitt’s Creek and the Rosebud Motel and go their separate ways.
“My family and I have been staying in a motel for the last three years,” Johnny says in the clip. “And I wouldn’t trade our stay there for anything.”

“When it’s time to lay down your weary head, you’ll find comfort and safety at the partially renovated Rosebud Motel.”
So begins Catherine O’Hara as famed actress and Rose family matriarch Moira in the final season trailer for “Schitt’s Creek,” which Pop TV released Friday.
The trailer opens with O’Hara, Eugene Levy’s Johnny Rose and Emily Hampshire’s Stevie Budd standing in front of the infamous motel setting for the Canadian comedy, filming a commercial-within-the-show for their business.
“There is value in these motels,” Levy’s Johnny says. “My family and I have been staying in a motel for the past three years, and I wouldn’t trade our stay there for anything.”
But it’s not just that motel that is getting a transformation before the series comes to an end in spring 2020. The final season of “Schitt’s Creek” is planning David and Patrick’s wedding,...

Fox Television Stations have nabbed the rights to Emmy-nominated comedy Schitt’s Creek, Pop TV’s highest-rated series, in a two-year deal with Lionsgate’s Debmar-Mercury. All seasons of Schitt’s Creek will begin airing in U.S. broadcast markets beginning in September 2020. The series returns for its sixth and final season on Pop TV and Canada’s CBC in January 2020. Its total episode count will be about 80 episodes, which is a syndicatable amount by today’s standards.
It is not very common for a cable series, especially a single-camera comedy, to be sold in broadcast syndication, especially one airing on a smaller channel like the CBS-owned Pop. But Schitt’s Creek has not been an ordinary series, increasing its ratings every season and growing its popularity beyond television throughout its run. That was recently taken to another gear with Schitt’s Creek’s launch on Netflix.

Pop TV comedy “Schitt’s Creek” finally received Emmy love this year, but not for these scenes.
The Dan and Eugene Levy-created comedy dropped the “mega-blooper-reel you’ve all been waiting for” on its Twitter account Friday. The four-minute clip shows Moira Rose (Catherine O’Hara) mess up — multiple times — that iconic Herb Ertlinger fruit wine commercial; Alexis (Annie Murphy) can’t figure out if it’s “title” track or “top” track; and David (played by series co-creator Dan Levy) has some awkward issues with a mannequin.
