Dan Levy Teases the Ending of 'Schitt's Creek' & How He Mapped Out the Final Season

The final season of Schitt’s Creek is currently airing and the show’s star and creator Dan Levy is teasing the ending of the series.

The 36-year-old actor appeared at the Build Series alongside co-stars Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, and Annie Murphy on Thursday afternoon (January 16) in New York City.

The interview was hosted by AOL entertainment editor Gibson Johns and he asked Dan for details on how the show ends.

“I always had an idea about how it would end,” Dan said in response. “I think when we got our last two seasons, I knew then that we had 28 episodes to wrap it up. From there on in, it was about sort of laying the groundwork for the end. I never wanted to get to a situation, which I think sometimes happens, where you’re like two episodes before the series has ended and suddenly we’re wrapping up a thousand storylines and suddenly things are coming out of left field and it feels overwhelming. I wanted it to be a slow burn in the same way that I think the show and the character revelations and stories have been a slow burn. I didn’t want to just suddenly panic and have the show end. I wanted it to feel like this was all leading towards something lovely and real.”
