Plot
The series stars Eugene Levy as Johnny Rose, a wealthy video store magnate and Catherine O'Hara as his wife Moira, a washed up soap star, who, after losing all their money due to their crooked business manager stealing their money and not paying their taxes, are forced to rebuild their lives in their only remaining asset: the small town of Schitt's Creek which they once purchased as a joke gift for the birthday of one of their children. They wind up living in two adjacent rooms of a rundown motel with their pampered thirty-something adult children; a son, David and a daughter, Alexis. The cast also includes Daniel Levy, Annie Murphy, Chris Elliott, Jennifer Robertson and Emily Hampshire. The show is based on a series of situations which involve the once rich family and their big city, worldly attitudes suddenly confronted by small town living, with honest, down to earth, hard working folk providing the backdrop.
The series is filmed on location in Goodwood, Ontario, which is located in the Regional Municipality of Durham of the Greater Toronto Area and Mono, Ontario, where the motel scenes are filmed. The interior scenes for both Season 1 and 2 were filmed at Pinewood Toronto Studios in Toronto, while the interior scenes for Season 3 were shot at Dufferin Gate Studios in Toronto.
