Dan Levy has shot down the possibility of a Schitt’s Creek sequel after the death of his former co-star Catherine O’Hara.
Levy, the show’s co-creator, said last year that fan speculation had inspired him to consider a potential revival of the Emmy-winning comedy series after it aired from 2015 to 2020.
But after O’Hara — who played flamboyant matriarch Moira Rose on the Canadian sitcom — died from a pulmonary embolism in January at age 71, Levy said there is no way that the show could return without her.
“No. We can’t,” Levy, 42, said in an interview with CBS News published Sunday. “I was thinking about it. Yeah. It’s tough. It’s tough going back.”
He told the broadcaster that it was “awe-inspiring” to work with the comedian on the show.
“We had the best time. We had the best time. She had the best time,” he said through tears. “It’s an amazing thing to be a part of something that she loved so much. You know, it feels very special. It’s what you have to hold onto, is the memories of it all.”
