Trent Reznor Approves ‘Schitt’s Creek’ Nine Inch Nails Cover For Release

Fans of hit comedy series Schitt’s Creek were treated to a passing Nine Inch Nails joke in an episode of season five last year, but, as it turns out, the gag went a fair bit deeper than the original cut suggested.

In 2019 episode The Plant, there’s a transition to a scene where Moira Rose (portrayed by Catherine O'Hara) is conducting a practice session with a cappella group Jazzagals and she makes a joke that insinuates they’ve just finished practising Nine Inch Nails’ Closer.

Well, as co-creator Dan Levy has now revealed, they did indeed film a performance of the song AND Trent Reznor has approved the clip for release, which you can check out below.

Also, if my memory serves me, Catherine arranged this herself. 💫
