Emmy-winning comedy “Schitt’s Creek” will be available to stream in its entirety on HBO Max starting Saturday, Feb. 7. With the addition comes a newly launched “Schitt’s Creek” playlist via the in-app “channels” feature, offering subscribers a seamless and continuous on-demand feed of the series.
Created by Dan Levy and Eugene Levy, “Schitt’s Creek” ran for six seasons from 2015 to 2020, garnering a dedicated, vast fanbase committed to the antics of rich video-store magnate Johnny Rose (Eugene Levy), his soap-star wife Moira (Katherine O’Hara), and their two kids, son David (Dan Levy) and socialite daughter Alexis (Annie Murphy), when they lose their fortune and are suddenly broke.
While the show originated in Canada on the CBC, and aired in the U.S. on cabler Pop TV, the series became a massive hit when it landed on Netflix. Over the course of the six seasons, it received 19 Emmy nominations and nine wins, seven of which were awarded for its final season.
The HBO Max addition comes following the passing of O’Hara, who died on Jan. 30 at the age of 71. Known for iconic roles in films including “Home Alone,” “Best in Show” and “Beetlejuice,” the actress enjoyed a career renaissance as Moira Rose on “Schitt’s Creek.” She won an Emmy for the role in 2020.
“Words seem inadequate to express the loss I feel today,” Eugene Levy wrote following O’Hara’s death. “I had the honor of knowing and working with the great Catherine O’Hara for over fifty years. From our beginnings on the Second City stage, to SCTV, to the movies we did with Chris Guest, to our six glorious years on ‘Schitt’s Creek,’ I cherished our working relationship, but most of all our friendship. And I will miss her. My heart goes out to Bo, Matthew, Luke and the entire O’Hara family.”
Created by Dan Levy and Eugene Levy, “Schitt’s Creek” is produced by Not a Real Company Productions. It is licensed by Paramount Global Content Distribution and ITV Studios. The series is also available to stream on Prime Video and Hulu.
