After five seasons, “Schitt’s Creek” received its first-ever Emmy nominations.
Dan Levy, co-creator of “Schitt’s Creek,” was waiting for his friends to get back from buying groceries when he learned that the series had finally made its mark at the Emmys.“I am on vacation in Tuscany and my friends had gone to get groceries so I was completely alone when I got the news,” Levy wrote via email. “I just kept pacing around the house screaming. Alone. It was certainly strange and a wonderfully embarrassing moment.
The series scooped up four nods: comedy series , as well as lead actor in a comedy , lead actress in a comedy and contemporary costumes .The Canadian-made comedy — which Levy co-created with his comedy vet father, Eugene — follows a formerly wealthy family as they adjust to living in a small-town motel. Longtime friends Eugene and O’Hara play the patriarch and matriarch of the fish-out-of-water Rose family.
While Canadians embraced the show early on — it’s received multiple Canadian Screen Awards — the series mostly flew under the radar in the U.S. when it premiered on basic cable network Pop TV in 2015. But it steadily gained attention, no doubt aided by episodes landing on Netflix in 2017. Along the way, its comedic sensibility has earned it the status of a pop culture cool kid for its wealth of GIF-able and meme-worthy moments.
“I had no expectations when it came to awards because we are so small,” Dan said from Tuscany, Italy . “We focus on the work and continuing to improve season after season. To be recognized five seasons in is a wonderful acknowledgment of the hard work and dedication of our cast and crew. I am overwhelmed with pride right now.”
