Schitt's Creek renewed for second season in advance of premiere
Great news for the people behind the new CBC TV series Schitt's Creek.
The first season premieres Tuesday Jan. 13 with back-to-back episodes at 9 p.m.
And the CBC has announced that the second season has already been renewed and is set to premiere in winter 2016.
Series co-created by Eugene and Dan Levy
The comedy is co-created by Eugene and Dan Levy, who also star in the 13-episode series, along with the legendary Catherine O' Hara and rising star Annie Murphy.
All of the actors will return for season two.
"This is a very exciting announcement!” said Eugene Levy. “Daniel and I, along with everyone on our
production team, have worked extremely hard to give CBC, and all Canadians, a funny, entertaining half
hour of television and we could not be more appreciative of the ongoing support CBC has shown us."
Schitt's Creek premieres Tuesday
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.
