As season four begins, the Roses are making the most of life in Schitt’s Creek, and —Moira’s constant talk of escaping aside— are finally starting to feel at home in the town. Johnny is busy running the motel with Stevie as his partner. Business is booming, but it’s a challenge for him to balance work and family, while dealing with Roland’s antics. Moira is carrying out her duties with Town Council and the Jazzagals, and is also looking for new ways to utilize her talents, whether it’s through a theatrical performance, or by helping Alexis navigate event planning. David is managing his store and attempting to maintain a brand new relationship, but between struggling to find the time for romance, and overcoming the anxieties of his dating past, this is proving to be a challenge. Meanwhile, Alexis is putting all of her energy into school and her career, but is finding it difficult to focus when she still has lingering feelings for her ex-fiancé, Ted.
在大家纷纷质疑,将这位充满大不列颠绅士之味,疯狂又前卫的侦探搬到美国是不是合理时,CBS却宣布,已经与英国著名演员约翰·李·米勒(Jonny Lee Miller)签约,这位曾经出演了《神奇律师》(Eli Stone),并客串了Showtime热门剧集《嗜血法医》(Dexter)的英国男演员,将在《Elementary》中饰演居住在纽约城中大侦探福尔摩斯。鉴于这部剧将来自CBS,那么它的风格也许无法像盖·里奇的电影版和BBC三集片一样偏幽默,沉重的故事是可以预见的。尽管如此,CBS在这样两个“前辈”的重压下,依旧敢预定导航集,可见其十足信心,很有可能这部剧将会成为明年的大热。而巧合的是,约翰·李·米勒和电影版及BBC版的演员们都有不小的交集:他和电影版的“华生医生”裘德·洛是同学,两人一同创办了Natral Nylon制片公司,还是公认的BFF。而米勒在去年,还曾经和BBC版的“夏洛克”本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇一同出演了英国著名导演丹尼·鲍尔的话剧《弗兰肯斯坦》(Frankenstein)
