Schitt’s Creek has been a transformational series for Pop, putting the network on the original programming map and remaining the CBS-owned net’s flagship show. The saga of the wealthy Rose family took a little while to get traction but in the last couple of years it hit its stride, growing in popularity and entering pop culture.

“Schitt’s Creek is that rare zeitgeist show that creates incredible fandom, catalyzes culture, and receives best-of-television critical praise for its intelligence, character development, laughter and heart,” said Brad Schwartz, President of Pop. “Schitt’s Creek has given all of us a joyous gift that, in my opinion, places the show among the very best. Everyone at Pop could not be more proud than to have been associated with what Dan Levy and Eugene Levy created alongside this amazing cast and crew. While we will miss this gem with all our heart, we are thrilled that the show will end its run exactly as the show’s creators intended.”

Here is Daniel Levy and Eugene Levy’s letter to fans announcing the news and explaining their decision to wrap the series:
