How to watch Schitt's Creek online: stream Season 6 from anywhere

The cult Canadian sit-com is going out with a bang and you don't have to miss a moment - here's how to watch Schitt's Creek season 6 online and stream every episode of the hit comedy wherever you are.

Created by comedy veteran Eugene Levy (American Pie) and his son Dan, the show follows the Rose family, who are newly broke millionaires struggling with small-town life.

Having initially flown under the radar outside of Canada, the show has gone on to build a steady following over the course of its six seasons, in some part thanks to its appearance on Netflix.

The riches-to-rags storyline sees the once wealthy Roses pick themselves up from being penniless in a small town they’d once bought as a joke, to eventually becoming accepted members of the quirky community. 

Storylines to watch out for this time out include matriarch Moira's (played by Catherine O’Hara - Kevin's mum in Home Alone) realisation that her status as a Hollywood actress is fading following her appearance in a film about crows, brattish daughter Alexis' (Annie Murphy) seemingly ill-advised road-trip with veterinarian boyfriend Ted, and the show's grand finale of the wedding between David (Dan Levy) and Patrick (Noah Reid).

How to watch Schitt's Creek: season 6 online in the US

Pop TV had the exclusive first broadcast rights for Schitt's Creek: Season 6 in the US and the channel has now finished airing all 14 episodes of the final series.

If you've managed to miss any episodes, don't worry as the Pop TV website and app still has all of them available to watch on demand at the time of writing - just remember that you'll need a cable or satellite TV package to log in.

If you're a cord-cutter, you can also watch the show by subscribing to a streaming service that carries the network such as YouTube TV or Fubo TV. We'd suggest going with Hulu With Live TV which offers 60-plus channels and access to Hulu's library and originals for $54.99 a month and also offers a FREE 1-month trial.

Netflix has also been streaming the show in the US, with new seasons added to the service after they've finished airing on Pop TV. However that may change with season 6 as CBC, the Canadian network behind the show has yet to sign off on a deal with the video-on-demand giant.

If you don't want to strap yourself down to a subscription service, Amazon Prime Video has season 6 available to buy for $24.99, along with each of the previous five seasons of the comedy show.

Don't forget that as per our guide above, if you find yourself out of the country, you can use clever software like ExpressVPN to watch Schitt's Creek season 6 just as if you were at home.
