We hope you’ve had the pleasure of watching the beloved Canadian sitcom, *Schitt’s Creek*. Premiering in 2015, the show captivated audiences for six seasons, concluding its highly successful run in 2020. It introduced a host of incredibly memorable characters, showcased a refreshingly unconventional concept, and, of course, delivered an abundance of laughter.
The series undoubtedly benefited from its stellar ensemble cast, featuring celebrated talents such as Eugene Levy (known for his role as Jim’s dad in *American Pie*), Daniel Levy, Chris Elliott, Annie Murphy, and Catherine O’Hara. For some time, there had been speculation and tentative plans for a potential continuation of the story. However, during a recent interview on CBS Sunday Morning, co-creator Dan Levy was directly asked about the possibility of more *Schitt’s Creek* in the future. His response was unequivocal:
‘No, not now. Not right now. No. No way. You just can’t.’
Levy elaborated that a key reason for this decision is the profound difficulty of envisioning a return without the irreplaceable presence and unique brilliance of the original ensemble, particularly Catherine O’Hara, who famously portrayed his mother, Moira Rose. Her iconic performance is so deeply integral to the show’s identity and success that continuing without that specific, magical contribution is deemed impossible.
He further shared his emotional perspective on the idea of revisiting the series:
‘Yes, I was thinking about it. It’s tough, it’s tough to go back. I didn’t think I’d have such an emotional reaction.’
Levy went on to praise Catherine O’Hara’s impact, noting how her unforgettable portrayal of Moira Rose, with her distinctive accent and mannerisms, ironically became the source of countless memorable memes, despite O’Hara herself being minimally involved with the internet:
‘Listen, for someone who wasn’t on the internet, she knew how to make a meme.’
This raises the question: Is it the right decision to let *Schitt’s Creek* conclude on its original high note, respecting the perfection of its initial run with its beloved cast, or should the series eventually consider a continuation in some form?
