Admittedly, the nominations aren't exactly shocking considering Schitt's Creek received a record nine Emmy wins last year, but it's still a massive honour for a show that only truly received the international acclaim it deserved in its final season.
Following the announcement Wednesday morning, Dan shared his response to the news in an Instagram post.
"Thinking of all of the amazingly talented people who helped make this show," he wrote. "Y'did good, team!"
