Release
The first five seasons of the series maintained staggered premieres, with new episodes debuting in Canada before being broadcast in the United States. This changed for this season, with new episodes being broadcast simultaneously in Canada and the United States.[13] The series finale aired on April 7, 2020, at 8:00 pm ET; it was followed by a one-hour behind-the-scenes retrospective documentary titled Best Wishes, Warmest Regards: A Schitt's Creek Farewell.[14] In the United States, the series finale was Schitt's Creek's highest-rated episode ever and simulcast on Logo TV and Comedy Central, which had recently become sibling networks to Pop TV through the ViacomCBS merger.[15]
Critical response
The final season's consensus reads: "Witty, warm, and with just the right blend of wisdom and wisecracks, Schitt's Creek's final season is the perfect farewell to the Roses and the town that changed their lives."[16] On Metacritic, the final season has a score of 94 out of 100, based on 4 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[17] Bridget Read of Vogue wrote that while the series "started off with typical fish out of water scenarios," it has "fully come into its own, with a whole cast of Twin Peaks-meets-Christopher-Guest-universe characters that are as equally endearing".[18]
