The family loses their fortune when their business manager fails to pay their taxes. They are forced to rebuild their lives with their sole remaining asset : a small town named Schitt 's Creek which they had bought their son as a joke birthday gift years before. The story revolves around the family 's life living in two adjacent rooms of a rundown motel with their pampered twenty - something adult children, David and Alexis, played by Daniel Levy and Annie Murphy respectively. Additional cast includes Chris Elliott, Jennifer Robertson and Emily Hampshire. The show is based on a series of situations contrasting the once - rich family and their worldly big - city attitudes with sudden small - town living and the honest, down - to - earth, hard - working residents of Schitt 's Creek. Production Daniel Levy came up with the idea for the show while watching reality television. He told Out.com, `` I had been watching some reality TV at the time and was concentrating on what would happen if one of these wealthy families would lose everything. Would the Kardashians still be the Kardashians without their money ? '' He turned to his father Eugene Levy to help develop the show ; Eugene Levy came up with series title. Daniel Levy made the intentional decision to make the location of Schitt 's Creek vague for viewers, but in August 2018 stated that is in Canada. Annie Murphy was cast as Alexis after Abby Elliott, who was initially slated for the role, had to drop out. Eugene Levy suggested Catherine O'Hara for the role of Moira Rose. The series is filmed on location in Goodwood, Ontario, the Regional Municipality of Durham of the Greater Toronto Area, and Mono, Ontario, where the motel scenes are filmed. The interior scenes for the first two seasons were filmed at Pinewood Toronto Studios in Toronto, while the interior scenes for the third season were shot at Dufferin Gate Studios in Toronto. The executive producers are Eugene Levy, Daniel Levy, Andrew Barnsley, Ben Feigin, Fred Levy, and Daniel White. Daniel Levy is the showrunner. Season 5 will be released on January 16, 2019 on Pop TV. This season will be the longest - running of the series at 14 episodes long.

On Rotten Tomatoes the first season has a rating of 59 %, based on 22 reviews, with an average rating of 6.38 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads : `` The title is one of the best jokes of Schitt 's Creek, but performances from Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara give the writing a comedic boost. '' On Metacritic, the first season has a score of 64 out of 100, based on 11 critics, indicating `` generally favourable reviews ''. Reactions from Canadian reviewers have ranged from raves to pans. Vinon Minay of the Toronto Star wrote that the show `` is not just a welcome addition to prime time : it is one of the best CBC comedies in years. '' John Doyle of The Globe and Mail, however, sharply criticized the show saying `` Schitt 's Creek is droll ? Try smug and self - satisfied... There is no edge to Schitt 's Creek. It 's cozy comedy and perhaps the tightness of the ensemble -- bound by family, old alliances -- blinds then to the lack of hilarity in what they 're doing. Comedy is hard and the show is soft - core comedy. '' Doyle concluded saying `` Many viewers will approach Schitt 's Creek with advance affection. They will relish seeing Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara working together again. They will savour the father / son dynamic between Eugene and Dan Levy. That 's peachy too. But it will camouflage the fact that the show is as anodyne and polite as the feel - good remarks made by its stars when asked about it. It 's nice and it 's droll, but it fails. '' After being picked up by Pop, American reception has been similarly mixed. The Los Angeles Times described the show as `` very funny, beautifully played, sometimes touching and, though its premise is familiar -- rich family loses money -- quite its own animal. '' and the New York Post stated that `` The Levys nicely develop their fish - out - of - water concept by showing how the family tries to fit in out of necessity. '' On the other end of the spectrum, Mike Hale of The New York Times called Schitt 's Creek `` a show that 's drab and underwritten, with potentially amusing ( if familiar ) situations that never build to more than a chuckle or a nod of recognition : Yeah, that could have been funny. '' The series has also been noted for its portrayal of a pansexual character, played by Dan Levy.
