‘Schitt’s Creek’ Gets Dedicated Streaming Channel in Canada
All six seasons of the award-winning Canadian comedy Schitt’s Creek, along with its finale special, are now available on a dedicated streaming channel launched today by CBC.
The new channel is currently live on CBC Gem, CBC’s streaming service, and will expand to LG Channels and The Roku Channel in Canada this fall. CBC already operates FAST channels featuring popular series like Heartland and Murdoch Mysteries. This move provides fans with continuous access to the beloved series and introduces it to a new audience.
“Audiences continue to turn to FAST channels for their daily entertainment and we are always looking to meet them where they are and connect them with their favourite shows,” said Sally Catto, General Manager, Entertainment, Factual and Sports, CBC. “The introduction of a new Schitt’s Creek channel makes the iconic series even more accessible to new viewers as well as longstanding fans, allowing them to enjoy nonstop streaming – and laughs – whenever they want.”
Schitt’s Creek, created by Eugene Levy and Daniel Levy, starred Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Daniel Levy, and Annie Murphy as the Rose family, who relocate to a small town they once purchased as a joke. The series garnered critical acclaim, becoming the first Canadian series to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy and is widely celebrated for its heartwarming and inclusive storytelling; you can learn more about the show’s impact on the official Emmy’s website. Not A Real Company Productions produced the show. CBC Gem currently offers over 6,500 hours of Canadian programming, and you can find more information about their streaming options here.
CBC officials stated they will continue to expand their FAST channel offerings based on audience demand.
