Less than 24 hours after the comedy hit Schitt’s Creek completed a history-making sweep at the Emmys, the show’s sixth and final season will make its way to Netflix beginning October 7th. Schitt’s Creek Season 6 originally aired on Pop TV between January and April of this year. 

Schitt’s Creek originally ran on Canada’s CBC Television beginning in 2015, but the only way to watch it in the US was to subscribe to Pop TV or buy episodes on Amazon. Netflix began hosting past seasons in 2017, and the series had a huge spike in popularity in the U.S. At Sunday night’s 2020 Emmy Awards, Schitt’s Creek took home every single award in the comedy series categories — the first time the feat has ever been accomplished. On top of winning Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Directing, and Outstanding Writing, each of the shows’ four principal cast members won trophies: Eugene Levy for Outstanding Lead Actor, Catherine O’Hara for Outstanding Lead Actress, Dan Levy for Outstanding Supporting Actor, and Annie Murphy for Outstanding Supporting Actress.

The first trailer for Disney+’s Wandavision was just released, with Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany returning as Wanda Maximoff and Vision. Wandavision is a “blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” says Disney+. It follows Wanda and Vision, “two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives” who “begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems.” 

The trailer shows Wanda and Vision living a happy life in various classic TV show settings. Kathryn Hahn also stars in the series, which is the first of the planned MCU shows coming to Disney+. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, starring Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie, is also supposed to premiere sometime this year. The premiere was originally scheduled for August but was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.  The Marvel characters of Hawkeye, Loki, She Hulk and Ms. Marvel are also getting their own shows, .as well as an alt-universe animated show called What If.

Ellen DeGeneres returned on Monday to kick off the Season 18 premiere of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and addressed workplace misconduct allegations against her and her team.  The daytime talk show came under investigation over the summer for being a “toxic” workplace. DeGeneres has been at the center of a scandal after BuzzFeed News published a report in July 2020 which detailed staffers negative experiences on the Ellen set, including claims of being penalized for taking medical leave, and fear of retribution for raising complaints.

DeGeneres said in her opening monologue, “If you’re watching, because you love me, thank you. If you’re watching it because you don’t love me, welcome. How was everybody’s summer? Good. Yeah, mine was great. Terrific. I’m so happy to be back in the studio. There are a lot of things I want to talk about. I’ve been looking forward to addressing it all directly and unfortunately talking directly to people has been illegal for six months.”

She continued, “As you may have heard, this summer there were allegations of a toxic work environment at our show and then there was an investigation. I learned that things happened here that never should have happened. I take that very seriously and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected. I know that I’m in a position of privilege and power and I realized that with that comes responsibility, and I take responsibility for what happens at my show.”

DeGeneres went on to say that the upcoming season represents the start of a “new chapter” for everyone working on the show, following an investigation that resulted in the dismissal of two executive producers.

Dan also won in the writing and directing categories, and Schitt’s Creek claimed the Outstanding Comedy Series award, making it an unprecedented seven trophies in a row.
