Schitt's Creek, the critically acclaimed hit comedy series starring Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Chris Elliott, Daniel Levy and Annie Murphy, has been picked up for a second season, it was announced by Pop, the entertainment network which launched earlier this year to celebrate the fun of being a fan. Season two of Schitt's Creek is set to air on the network with 13 new episodes in 2016. Created by father-son team Eugene and Daniel Levy, Schitt's Creek is Pop's first-ever scripted series. The 13-episode first season premiered on Feb. 11 and airs new episodes every Wednesday night at 10:00 PM, ET/PT. The show's first season finale will air on Wednesday, May 6 at 10:00 PM, ET/PT.
