The series conception came from Dan Levy, who wondered how wealthy families, as frequently depicted on American reality television, would react if they were to lose all their money.[5] He further developed the series with his father, Eugene, before pitching the series to several Canadian and American networks. The series was first sold to CBC Television in Canada and secured final funding to start production in its sale to Pop TV in the United States.[6] Although limited in popularity throughout its first few seasons, the series’s appearance on Netflix after its third season is credited for the show’s rise in stature, attributed to the “Netflix bump” and a dynamic social media presence.[7]Schitt’s Creek received critical acclaim and garnered a cult following, particularly for its writing, humour, and acting. The series has won various accolades, including two ACTRA Awards and 18 Canadian Screen Awards.[8][9] It is the first Canadian comedy series to be nominated for a Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Comedy Series.[10] It also received two Screen Actors Guild Awards, including Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series and a total of 19 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series twice.[11][12][13] The show received 15 of these nominations for its sixth and final season, setting a record for most Emmy nominations for a comedy series’s final season.
