Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Dan Levy and Annie Murphy star in "Schitt's Creek"

Goodbye, 'Schitt's Creek': After a six season-long stay at the Rosebud Motel, the Rose family is leaving -- well, leaving prime time TV, anyway.  

The series finale of "Schitt's Creek" airs this Tuesday, April 7, on CBC. It's going to be tough to say goodbye to the cast and endearing characters of this riches-to-roadside motel story.  

But if you're upset about having just a half-hour to say goodbye, in the words of Moira Rose (Catherine O'Hara, "The Addams Family," 2019), "Stop acting like a disgruntled pelican." To show appreciation to its big and very dedicated fan base, the self-described "Schittheads," the series will follow up the finale with an emotional hour-long special.

"Best Wishes, Warmest Regards: A Schitt's Creek Farewell" promises to be an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the final season, with "never-before-seen footage of table reads, audition tapes and heartfelt moments from the very last day on set." (Cue the tears, both on screen and in millions of homes.) There will also be a ton of interviews with everyone from the creators and cast members to celebrity fans, including Will Arnett, Tony Hale, Amy Sedaris and the venerable Carol Burnett.

The Canadian comedy-turned-American hit has had quite a run since its debut in 2015 -- in hindsight, it's hard to believe HBO and Showtime passed on the initial pitch. Its ratings steadily climbed then soared once it was added to Netflix's catalog in 2017. And last year, word of mouth and viral moments (like Annie Murphy's "A Little Bit Alexis") propelled it to "best hidden gem/comedy on TV" status and earned it four Emmy nominations, including one each for series leads Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara.

Here's hoping we'll see the cast, and certainly co-creator Dan Levy, walk the red carpet again at this year's Emmy Awards. In the meantime, look for "Schitt's Creek" to begin its syndicated run in September.

It takes 'My Village': Actor/director Kyra Sedgwick has had no trouble finding work since her star turn in the TNT series "The Closer." And it looks like Sedgwick will soon be adding another acting credit to her already lengthy resume (technically, it's already listed on IMDb).

The Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actor will play the leading role in "My Village." The comedy pilot is written and executive produced by "The New Adventures of Old Christine" creator, Kari Lizer.

This one is being touted as a multi-camera series centered on an empty-nester. Mom Jean Raines (Sedgwick) has found herself living alone and removed from her children, who are living thousands of miles away. If home is where the heart is, and Jean's heart will always be with her now-grown children, then that's seemingly where she needs to be. So Jean sets out to re-insert herself into her children's lives and, it turns out, the "kids" might actually need her more than they thought.

When you read the official description of the character, it becomes apparent that Sedgwick's ability to exude warmth -- notwithstanding her recurring role in "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" -- makes her a natural fit, even if it required some lengthy negotiations to secure the actor's involvement.

Her character hails from Iowa (Sedgwick is a New Yorker) and is said to be "earthy, unfiltered and emotional." That's partly the reason why Jean doesn't feel at home in Los Angeles anymore. But after the sudden loss of her husband, Jean has also become "a tad neurotic" when it comes to worrying about her loved ones, and that will undoubtedly complicate the family's rapprochement.

"My Village" would mark Sedgewick's return to ABC after starring in the 2017 series "Ten Days In the Valley."

'Kung Fu' Casting: A few more names have been added to the cast of CW's planned "Kung Fu" reboot.

You might remember the original "Kung Fu" series that ran for three seasons on ABC, from 1972 to 1975. It starred David Carradine as Shaolin monk Kwai Chang Caine, a martial arts expert searching for his brother in the American Old West. But this modern version will feature a female lead character instead.

Olivia Liang ("Legacies") will star as Nicky Chen, a young Chinese-American woman who drops out of college and embarks on a life-changing journey that takes her to a monastery in China. But upon her return, she discovers her hometown is overrun with crime and corruption. Like Carradine's character, Nicky will have to use her martial arts skills to bring criminals to justice. Unlike Carradine's character, she'll be looking for the assassin who killed her mentor and is also targeting her.

Also joining the cast as series regulars are Gavin Stenhouse ("Black Mirror") and Gwendoline Yeo ("American Crime"). Stenhouse will play the role of Evan Hartlly, an Assistant District Attorney who always had feelings for Nicky. Yeo will play Zhilan, the antagonist whose criminal ties run deep. It is Zhilan's quest for power that led her to the Shaolin monastery and to Nicky's mentor, and it will be her determination that will make her so hard to beat.

This female-led reboot has been in the works for some time. It was one of the projects that were in development at Fox in 2017, but when it didn't go to pilot, Albert Kim ("Nikita") was brought in the following year as writer. Then came the news in November 2019 that the series had moved to CW, and that Christina M. Kim ("Blindspot") would serve as writer and executive producer.

That's a lot of changes for any TV project. But given the recent casting news, and with Hanelle Culpepper ("Star Trek: Picard") set to direct the first episode, this proposed revival appears to have a decent chance of making it beyond the pilot phase.
