Latest News About Schitt's Creek Season 5

I don’t have live tool access right now to pull the very latest updates, but I can share what’s established about Schitt’s Creek season 5 and how it’s been reported up to its 2019 air dates.

Direct answer

• Schitt’s Creek season 5 aired in January 2019 on CBC and Pop, with the season running through April 2019 in Canada and the U.S. on Pop. It is the penultimate season of the series, preceding the final season (season 6) which concluded the show in 2020 on CBC/Pop.[2][4][7]

Key details about season 5

• Premiere and episodes: Season 5 kicked off with “The Crowening” on January 8, 2019 (CBC) and January 16, 2019 (Pop), and concluded in April 2019 on CBC with the final episode “Life Is a Cabaret” (April 9, 2019) and on Pop (April 10, 2019).[4][2]
• Availability and reception: The season was widely discussed as it brought the Roses into stronger personal and professional movements, including Moira’s film-world pursuits and David’s relationship with Patrick, while Alexis pursues new life steps. Critical and fan reception highlighted the season as a high point in the series’ arc, contributing to ongoing Emmy recognition discussions around the show (even though its Emmys attention became more prominent in later seasons).[2][4]
• Context in series arc: Season 5 follows the show’s shift from establishing the small-town comedy to deepening character arcs, with Rose Apothecary and the motel continuing to develop under Johnny’s leadership and the Roses’ evolving relationships. This sets up the final season’s wrap-up.[4][2]

Where to watch and how to think about it now

• The season is available in various regions through CBC, Pop, and streaming platforms that carried Schitt’s Creek at the time, including Netflix in certain territories after its season-by-season rollouts. If you’re seeking current availability in London, you might check regional streaming catalogs or rental services for the CBC/Pop titles or any current rights holders.[3][2]

Illustration (how the season fits the arc)

• Think of season 5 as the point where the Roses’ personal and business ventures start to pay off in tangible ways, while also planting seeds for the final wrap-up in season 6. For example, David and Patrick’s relationship continues to grow, Moira pursues ambitious acting projects, and Johnny grows Rosebud Motel’s reputation, all while Alexis navigates new life steps.[4]
