‘Schitt’s Creek’ Farewell Tour Canceled Over COVID-19 Mandates

Eugene and Dan Levy announced on Friday via Twitter that Schitt’s Creek: The Farewell Tour has been canceled over health and safety concerns, as well as state and local mandates surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking to their “incredible Schitt’s Creek fans,” the co-creators and actors explained that when the tour was first postponed, the team had “every intention” of rescheduling it for later this year.

“However, despite our best efforts to reschedule while keeping your health and safety at the forefront, we’ve found that state and local mandates vary too widely to do so in the near future,” read the statement. “So, we have made the difficult decision to cancel all tour dates that were scheduled pre-pandemic.”

The tour aimed to celebrate the end of the widely popular Canadian Pop TV sitcom Schitt’s Creek, which centered around a wealthy family gone broke, forcing them to leave their former lives to rebuild in the small town of Schitt’s Creek. The show ran for six seasons and won seven Emmys in 2020, setting the record for most wins for a comedy series in a single season. The tour had been scheduled to stop in cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and Phoenix.

It has been said that ticket-holders will be refunded immediately.

“We’re sorry to be missing you, and we will continue to try and find a way to see you in the future,” the statement continued. It was signed with “best wishes and warmest regards” from the father and son team.
