‘Schitt’s Creek’ Season 6 Premieres Early on Netflix

The final sixth season of the Emmy award-winning sitcom Schitt’s Creek has arrived early on Netflix. The Pop TV original series was initially slated to debut on the streaming platform on October 7th.

Creator and star Dan Levy tweeted the news Saturday morning, writing: “Surprise! Season 6 & the Best Wishes, Warmest Regards documentary just dropped early on Netflix! Have a great weekend!”

It also became the first comedy to ever sweep all four main comedy acting categories, in both lead and both supporting categories, in a single season.

The show’s nine total wins for Season 6 broke the record of eight that Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel won in 2018 and again in 2019.
