11 Shows Like ‘Schitt’s Creek’—aka the Comedy Series That Swept the 2020 Emmys

After six seasons and countless ew, Davids, Schitt’s Creek is still one of the world’s favorite shows. Just look at all of the statuettes they’ve taken home at this year’s 72nd annual Emmy Awards.

While we’re still in a bit of denial that the series is at its end, the Rose family will always hold a special place in our hearts. So, we’ve compiled a list of TV shows that are just as addicting as the popular series.

From Arrested Development to PEN15, read on for 11 shows like Schitt’s Creek.

1. ‘Derry Girls’

Set in the 1990s, Derry Girls follows a group of teenagers as they navigate Catholic high school in Northern Ireland during the end of the Troubles. Like Johnny, Moira, David and Alexis, the main characters are rebellious, messy and irresistibly lovable.

2. ‘Arrested Development’

The Bluth family is an eccentric and slightly dysfunctional bunch (much like the Roses) that’s found itself lost in the world after patriarch George Sr. is sent to prison for fraud. George’s son, Michael, is left to pick up the pieces and run the family real estate business (and the banana stand).

Be warned: There’s a fair amount of really fake-looking blood.
