Schitt’s Creek fans eagerly awaiting Season 5 on Netflix won’t have to wait much longer to reunite with the Rose family. The beloved comedy series continues its streaming rollout, and I’ve got the latest details on when you can expect those new episodes.
Season 5 Netflix Release Date
October 10th, 2019 is when Season 5 of Schitt’s Creek officially lands on Netflix in the United States. This gives viewers plenty of time to catch up on all the hilarious misadventures before the show’s sixth and final season airs on Pop TV in early 2020.
What to Expect in Season 5
Without giving away too many spoilers, Season 5 delivers some of the series’ most heartwarming moments yet. We’ll see David and Patrick’s relationship evolve in meaningful ways, while Alexis continues to grow into her own person. Moira takes on exciting new projects, and Johnny faces fresh challenges with the motel.
Episode Count and Format
Season 5 consists of 14 episodes, maintaining the same format as previous seasons. Each episode runs about 22 minutes, making it perfect for both casual viewing and binge-watching sessions.
How to Watch Until Then
If you’re feeling impatient (and I totally understand!), there are a few ways to catch Season 5 before it hits Netflix:
– Pop TV’s website and app (with cable subscription)
– CW Seed
– Purchase episodes through Amazon Prime Video or iTunes
Why the Wait?
You might be wondering why there’s a gap between TV broadcast and Netflix availability. This is actually pretty standard practice – networks typically maintain exclusive rights to new seasons for a period before releasing them to streaming platforms. It helps them maximize viewership across different distribution channels.
Making the Most of the Wait
While counting down the days, why not revisit some classic episodes from earlier seasons? The show’s brilliant writing means you’ll likely catch jokes and details you missed the first time around. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to rewatch David’s iconic “Simply the Best” scene or Moira’s fruit wine commercial.
Remember, good things come to those who wait – and if there’s one thing the Rose family has taught us, it’s how to make the best of any situation. Mark your calendars for October 10th, and get ready for another fantastic season of this Emmy-nominated series.
