B次元官网网址淪chittB次元官网网址檚 CreekB次元官网网址� fans, prepare to say goodbye to the Rose family.

As the hit Canadian comedy series cements its status as a critical and cultural smash during its fifth season, father-and-son co-creators Eugene Levy and Daniel Levy have announced the story will come to an end next year.

In a statement on Daniel LevyB次元官网网址檚 social media accounts Thursday, they revealed the beloved half-hour show will wrap up for good at the end of its sixth season. The 14 final episodes are due to begin in January 2020 on CBC in Canada and Pop TV in the U.S.

ItB次元官网网址檚 a decision the Levys reached a long time ago and is one theyB次元官网网址檙e excited about, they stressed in interviews with The Canadian Press, noting theyB次元官网网址檝e envisioned this final chapter from the beginning.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檝e always known how the show was going to end,B次元官网网址� Daniel Levy, who is also the showrunner, said by phone from Toronto.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檝e always seen every season of our show as a chapter in the story of this familyB次元官网网址檚 life, and we have reached our inevitable conclusion in that story, so it was the right time and it was something that I had been building to for five seasons.B次元官网网址�

To Our Dear Fans...

The Levys also play father and son on the sitcom, alongside Catherine OB次元官网网址橦ara as the mother and Annie Murphy as the daughter of the Rose family, who lost their fortune due to a shady business manager and now live in a motel in a small town the dad bought as a joke years ago.

Each character has carved out their own niche in the town over the years, providing nuance and a joyful spirit that has helped B次元官网网址淪chittB次元官网网址檚 CreekB次元官网网址� grow in popularity from season to season.

Where the show once was a modest gem, it now has a spot on Netflix, countless memes and mentions on social media, and accolades from top critics.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 really been quite unbelievable,B次元官网网址� said Eugene Levy, a comedy treasure and B次元官网网址淪CTVB次元官网网址� alum who was born in Hamilton.

B次元官网网址淗aving a show like B次元官网网址楽chittB次元官网网址檚 CreekB次元官网网址� in the autumn of my years, so to speak, is something not a lot of people get to experience.B次元官网网址�

The show has also spawned a live tour with sold-out audiences in Canada and the U.S., won several Canadian Screen Awards, and was up for a CriticsB次元官网网址� Choice trophy in January.

B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 sure people will be questioning, B次元官网网址榃hy walk away when so many people are watching it?B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址� Toronto-born Daniel Levy said, noting he tries not to pay attention to the showB次元官网网址檚 buzz because he doesnB次元官网网址檛 want it to affect the creative process.

B次元官网网址淏ut the reality is, weB次元官网网址檝e always been about the show, and I hope that when people watch this last season, theyB次元官网网址檒l understand that we did nothing but respect that experience.B次元官网网址�

Levy said he had a feeling around season 3 that the RosesB次元官网网址� story was halfway through and would be done come season 6. His dad was fully supportive and theyB次元官网网址檝e been carefully constructing the storylines to reach that conclusion ever since.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e going out on a nice, natural high and never really wanted to risk taking it any further into what I might call the law of diminishing returns,B次元官网网址� said Eugene Levy.

Executives at CBC and Pop say theyB次元官网网址檙e sad the show is ending, but they admire the LevysB次元官网网址� commitment to wrapping it up on their own terms.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 creative genius, and who am I to mess with creative genius?B次元官网网址� said Sally Catto, general manager of programming for CBC English Television, noting the show has grown the public broadcasterB次元官网网址檚 audience, particularly its younger demographic.

B次元官网网址淚t really also became an anchor for a new era of (scripted) comedy at the CBC,B次元官网网址� she added.

B次元官网网址淚 truly think it will be, always, one of the greatest comedies ever created in this country.B次元官网网址�

Pop channel president Brad Schwartz, who also worked with Daniel Levy when he was at MTV Canada, said itB次元官网网址檚 their highest-rated original series and has helped define the network.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 devastating,B次元官网网址� he said of the decision to end it. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 one of the most proud pieces of content IB次元官网网址檝e ever been involved with.

B次元官网网址淵ou donB次元官网网址檛 get shows like this very often in a career.B次元官网网址�

Daniel Levy said he hopes the final season will provide closure and B次元官网网址渢ell the funniest, the sweetest, the most joyful episodes of our show weB次元官网网址檝e ever told.B次元官网网址�

And he isnB次元官网网址檛 ruling out returning to the characters one day.

B次元官网网址淚 would never say that this is the end. If we get an idea somewhere down the line that feels fresh and necessary and relevant, I would absolutely entertain any form of revisiting these lovely, strange characters.B次元官网网址�
