The show follows the wildly rich Rose family who lose it all and are forced to relocate to a small town, Schitt’s Creek. Final series This month, the sixth and final series (14 episodes) airs in Canada and the US. Annie said that fans will not be disappointed by the final season. In many of the scenes where David and Alexis are crying, almost no acting was needed as the tears were real.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Annie Murphy (@annefrances) on Sep 24, 2019 at 1:33pm PDT Before Annie landed the role of Alexis, life was tough. Her apartment had burned down, she only had $200 left in her bank account and she hadn’t had an acting job in 2 years. When she heard she got the part, Annie was excited for so many reasons - one of them being that she knew if her acting heroes, Catharine O’Hara and Eugene Levy, had signed on, this show was going to be something special. She wasn’t wrong.   View this post on Instagram   “Annie, sit next to me on the plaaaane! Eat pizza with meeeeee! Hold my haaaaaand! You’re my best frieeeeeend!

When she couldn’t come up with a good enough excuse to not go in, she had to go. She’s so glad she did because her idols have become her friends and they've made some fantastic, entertaining television.
