Schitt’s Creek tells the tale of the formerly wealthy Rose family who, upon being stripped of their wealth, are forced to move to their only remaining asset — the town of Schitt’s Creek. It is there that they learn humility, love, and the importance of family.
The Canadian comedy series was co-created by father-son duo Dan Levy and Eugene Levy, who played David and Johnny Rose, respectively. The show also starred the incomparable Catherine O’Hara, who played the over-the-top matriarch, Moira Rose. Annie Murphy completed the Rose family with her role as Alexis.
Other notable actors in the series included Sarah Levy as Twyla Sands, Noah Reid as David’s boyfriend, Patrick Brewer, and Emily Hampshire as David’s best friend and Johnny’s business partner, Stevie Budd. Comedian Chris Elliot also played a significant part in the series as the mayor of Schitt’s Creek, Roland Schitt.
In March of 2019, Levy announced his decision to end the show “with a final chapter that [they] had envisioned from the very beginning.” The final episode of Season 6 aired on April 7, 2020.
