An official Schitt’s Creek companion book will hit shelves this fall. Fans can’t get enough of the beloved comedy series, which was created by father-son duo Dan and Eugene Levy. Centered on the trials and tribulations of the Rose family after they fell from grace into the podunk town of Schitt’s Creek, the CBC series was a sleeper hit.
While Schitt’s Creek kicked off in 2015 to a modest following, by the time its sixth and final season aired in 2020, it had achieved pop-culture phenomenon status. In its last year, the series bowed out with a record-breaking 15 Emmy nominations. The show took home nine trophies, with the Levys, O’Hara, and Murphy sweeping all four acting categories. While it was a glorious send-off for the comedy, which wrapped things up in a beautiful bow, fans and even cast members continue to crave more.

Now, Schitt’s Creek lovers have something new to bombilate about, as Moira Rose would say. EW confirmed that an official coffee table companion book to the series is on the way. Best Wishes, Warmest Regards: The Story of Schitt’s Creek is currently available for pre-order and will go to print in October from the acclaimed publishing house Black Dog & Leventhal. Show creator Dan Levy worked on the tome himself, writing on Twitter:
“Spent the better part of the last year and a half putting this book together. We really wanted it to feel like a thoughtful celebration of the time we had. I’m now a tired shell of myself but apparently you can pre-order it today which is fun/worth it!”
Best Wishes, Warmest Regards shares a name with the series’ documentary special Best Wishes, Warmest Regards: A Schitt’s Creek Farewell. In a similar vein, the book brims with behind-the-scenes tidbits and all the heart and humor that made viewers fall for the show. For one thing, Johnny Rose (Eugene), Moira Rose (Catherine O’Hara), David Rose (Dan), and Alexis Rose (Annie Murphy) each have their own special pages.
According to the first look images, it also seems the book will also be filled with custom illustrations. One of the most exciting teases is the “complete, illustrated catalogs” of Moira’s iconic wigs and David’s zany sweaters. Other highlights fans will no doubt devour will be a deep dive into Alexis’ various celebrity escapades and part of Moira’s lexicon.
The publishers also revealed the official map of Schitt’s Creek that lives within the book’s pages. Showing the proximity of the show’s signature locations like the Rosebud Motel and Cafe Tropical, the quirky map is a delight for any viewer to lay their eyes on. If every page of Best Wishes, Warmest Regards is as satisfying as that, it will surely quench fans’ thirst for more content. Only momentarily, though. It’s unlikely that pop culture will ever not want more Schitt’s Creek.
