For anyone afraid that life just doesn’t feel Schitty enough, have no fear: broadcaster Pop TV has announced Schitt’s Creek will return for a sixth and final season in January.
The acclaimed sitcom, which garnered four Emmy nominations earlier this year, follows the misadventures of a once-wealthy family as they try to recover after losing their fortune. Their only option: move to the tiny city of Schitt’s Creek, which they bought as a gag gift in the 1990s. Schitt’s Creek has also earned wide praise for the emergence of out-queer co-creator/star Daniel Levy as a major comic talent, and for featuring several frank LGBTQ storylines.

“Schitt’s Creek has become a pop culture phenomenon fueled by the most talented cast and the most passionate fans in all of television, and the final season is sure to be weekly must-watch TV as we see what happens to the Roses,” Pop TV president Brad Schwartz said of the announcement. “It is gut-wrenching to say goodbye, but we know this final season will deliver even more of the heart and humor that has made the series one of the best ever.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
As co-created by Dan Levy and his father Eugene, who also plays the series lead, Schitt’s Creek became the first Canadian sitcom nominated for Best Comedy Series at the Emmy Awards. The new season debuts January 7, 2020.

Hey Queerty, Dan Levy doesn’t identify as queer, he identifies as gay.
I only draw attention to this distinction because the word queer is used in a much wider spectrum than the old derogatory usage it once had.
Perfect example is Ezra Miller, who identifies as queer and is often listed on gay sites such as yours as queer often lumping him in with entire groups of gay men as if he were one of them, when he isn’t.
Ezra has repeatedly stated that though he is polyamorous by nature and is in a polyamorous relationship with several females, he has never had sex with another man.
Gay does not equal queer.
