From a media release:

With the first season of SCHITT’S CREEK premiering this Tuesday, January 13 at 9 p.m., CBC is pleased to announce that the second season has already been greenlit and is set to premiere in winter 2016. The highly anticipated character-driven, half-hour single-camera comedy is co-created by Eugene and Daniel Levy, who also star in the 13-episode series alongside the legendary Catherine O’Hara and rising star Annie Murphy, all of whom are set to return next season.

The series centres around a wealthy family who suddenly find themselves broke and forced to live in Schitt’s Creek, a small, depressing town they once bought as a joke. With their pampered lives now abandoned, they must confront their new-found poverty and discover what it means to be a family, all within the confines of their new home.

SCHITT’S CREEK is commissioned by CBC, produced by Not A Real Company Productions Inc. and created by Eugene Levy and Daniel Levy.  The executive producers are Eugene Levy, Daniel Levy, Andrew Barnsley, Fred Levy and Ben Feigin.  SCHITT’S CREEK is distributed by ITV Studios Global Entertainment.

From James Bawden:

I wasn’t even sure I wanted to watch the previews of Schitt’s Creek which CBC sent my way. I mean the title is terribly off putting but eventually curiosity got the better of this TV critic and I watched three episodes one after the other, barely pausing for a cup of tea.

And you know what?

At times this sitcom starring Eugene and Dan Levy and Catherine O’Hara is funny and crazy as hell. Continue reading.

Link: Schitt’s Creek may be an awful title, but CBC’s new comedy is really, really good

From David Berry of The National Post:

I have no idea what your reaction to hearing that the CBC was going to air a show called Schitt’s Creek was, but mine was to roll my eyes so hard I almost pulled a calf muscle. Never mind that legitimate comedic treasures Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy were attached — hell, that might have even made it slightly worse, given the recent track record of Canadian comedy legends in sitcoms — that name just reeked of overstraining humour, like putting wacky glasses on a watermelon before you splatter it. I could practically taste the desperation sweat. Continue reading.
