TORONTO – CBC has ordered more of its biggest comedies.

The public broadcaster says a third season of “Schitt’s Creek” will debut in winter 2017.

The single-camera sitcom stars Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara as a couple who loses their fortune and moves their family to a small town they bought as a joke.

A sixth season of the classroom comedy “Mr. D” has been green-lit for a fall premiere, while the sketch comedy series “This Hour Has 22 Minutes” launches its 24th season this fall.

Also returning is “Rick Mercer Report” for its 14th season.

All four shows are up for multiple Canadian Screen Awards, with “Schitt’s Creek” garnering 15 nominations, “Mr. D” with 12, “22 Minutes” with six and “Rick Mercer Report” with four.
