When the affluent Rose family’s business manager makes off with their fortune, the Roses find themselves unexpectedly uprooted to the small, secluded town of Schitt’s Creek—a place they once acquired as a gag purchase. Johnny Rose, played by Eugene Levy, leads his family, who are used to a life of luxury and sophistication, into this modest town that boasts a single coffee shop. Despite their discomfort, the locals warmly welcome the Rose family.
The father-son duo of Eugene and Dan Levy crafted the series, with Dan portraying the chic yet high-strung David Rose. Annie Murphy steps into the shoes of the whimsical socialite Alexis Rose, while their eccentric mother, Moira, is brought to life by Catherine O’Hara. Though relocating to Schitt’s Creek initially seems like a calamity, it becomes a journey of personal growth for the Roses, teaching them the importance of family and connecting with everyday people.
However, the term “ordinary” hardly fits the quirky residents of Schitt’s Creek. The town’s Mayor, Roland Schitt, played by Chris Elliot, is both intrusive and pompous, while his wife, Jocelyn (Jennifer Robertson), exudes an almost dizzying cheerfulness. The motel clerk, Stevie (Emily Hampshire), offers about as much assistance as the faulty motel sign under which the Roses take up residence. Yet, this motley crew comes together to create a community that delivers moments of uproarious laughter and heartfelt emotion.
