now with 13 more episodes on the way, audiences will get to keep
falling in love with the Rose family,” said Brad Schwartz,
President, Pop. “Get ready for more laughs and award-worthy
performances from some of the best talent in comedy.”
“Wow. A second season on Pop? This is good news! It’s better
than good news. My son Daniel and I are thrilled to be associated
with such a young, vibrant network. Here’s hoping as Pop grows, so
grows SCHITT’S CREEK,” remarked Eugene Levy.

to live in Schitt’s Creek, a small, depressing town they once
bought as a joke.

Company Productions Inc., and created by Eugene and Daniel Levy.
The Executive Producers are Eugene and Daniel Levy, Andrew
Barnsley, Fred Levy and Ben Feigin. SCHITT’S CREEK is distributed
