Overview

  • The BBC confirmed on Saturday that every episode of Schitt’s Creek is available to stream on BBC iPlayer in the United Kingdom.
  • The iPlayer launch follows the show's removal from Netflix UK in May while the series remains on Netflix in territories such as the United States and Canada.
  • UK viewers must sign in with a BBC account, use a UK postcode and hold a valid TV licence to watch the full box set for no extra subscription fee.
  • Fans greeted the return to a mainstream UK service with enthusiasm and renewed bingeing, and coverage notes Catherine O’Hara’s January death and Dan Levy’s recent comments ruling out a revival.
  • The six-season Canadian sitcom was created by Eugene and Dan Levy, ran from 2015 to 2020, won major awards including a 2021 Golden Globe, and its Netflix-era popularity helped cement its global audience.
