Dan Levy: "In the wrong hands," Schitt's Creek would've been canceled for "underperforming" after one season

Twitter

Levy tweeted a warning this morning for impatient networks and streaming services following last night's Emmys sweep: "A gentle reminder that TV shows need time and space to lay foundation, to develop, and to grow. In the wrong hands, this show would have been yanked off the air in Season 1 for 'underperforming'. Thank you @cbc @PopTV for letting us fly."
