It looks like Netflix will be losing another comedy series in late October: Schitt’s Creek will follow in the footsteps of shows like 30 Rock and The Office, leaving Netflix in favor of a new streaming service. In this case, the show will make itself at home on Hulu.
Schitt’s Creek first began airing in 2015, with six seasons before ending in 2020. Created by Eugene and Dan Levy, who also star in the show, Schitt’s Creek sees the Rose family lose their wealth after being swindled by their manager. commercial. His only remaining asset is the deed to the remote Canadian town of Schitt’s Creek, originally purchased as a gag gift for his son David Rose (Dan Levy) several years earlier.
The Rose family is made up of patriarch Johnny (Eugene Levy), the most common of the group, his wife Moira (Catherine O’Hara), an eccentric former actress, and their two children. David is the cocky son, while daughter Alexis (Annie Murphy) is a pampered, pampered socialite.
Needless to say, all four struggle with their new situation, especially after having to move into a dilapidated motel and realizing that owning a town isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Schitt’s Creek has been streaming on Netflix in the US since early 2017. Sadly, the five-year run is coming to an end, with Hulu getting exclusive rights to Schitt’s Creek for the next two years. According to disco news (opens in a new tab) The show will reportedly be split between Hulu and Paramount Plus for the third year.
This news originally surfaced back in April, when Hulu announced the news and reportedly paid $1.2 million per episode. However, the change would not occur until October 3, which is less than a month away. It’s also the second anniversary of Netflix adding the show’s final season to its US catalogue.
Outside of the US, Netflix viewers don’t have much to worry about, as the streamer reportedly retains the rights until May 2026 (via What’s on Netflix? (opens in a new tab)).
While Schitt’s Creek starts out pretty slow, it becomes something special during the first couple of seasons. And that is reflected in how both the public and the critics have responded, and that is reflected in his Rotten Tomatoes scores (opens in a new tab). Currently, the show has a critic score of 93% and an audience score of 92%, and 8.5 out of 10 on IMDB (opens in a new tab).
Schitt’s Creek may not have the same drawing power as shows like Seinfeld or The Office, but it’s still a fun and enjoyable show. Particularly when you see the Rose family grow up and adjust to their new lives, and realize that life in Schitt’s Creek isn’t as bad as they first assumed.
There are 81 episodes in total, each lasting 22 minutes. That means the show can easily be watched in its entirety before making the jump from Netflix to Hulu. You have four weeks to make it happen, and the sooner you start, the easier it will be.
