Ahead of "Schitt’s Creek‘s" Season 3 April 5 finale on Pop, the cable network has renewed the Canadian comedy series for a fourth season. Co-creators and father-son team Eugene and Daniel Levy will continue as executive producers and writers.

"Schitt’s Creek" was Pop’s first original scripted show. The acquired show airs in Canada on CBC, which also is renewing it for Season 4 today. This is the first time Pop is picking up the series simultaneously with CBC, an indication of its importance to the U.S. network.

Pop’s previous "Schitt’s Creek" renewals had come weeks after CBC’s.





“Schitt’s Creek has become a brand-defining television series for Pop—a culturally relevant, clever, full of heart comedy that is perfect for these crazy times,” said Brad Schwartz, President of Pop. “Season after season, we are seeing significant audience growth, heightened buzz, critical acclaim and award-season chatter.”

"Schitt’s Creek" stars former SCTV castmates Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara in an on-screen reunion as well as Daniel Levy, Annie Murphy, Chris Elliott, Emily Hampshire, Sarah Levy and Jennifer Robertson.
