An Emotional Homecoming
Dan Levy is getting candid about why a return to Schitt’s Creek now feels impossible—and the reason is deeply personal.
While appearing on television and revisiting the show’s filming location in Ontario, Levy became emotional as memories came flooding back. Standing in a place so closely tied to the series, he admitted the experience caught him off guard.
“I didn’t expect to feel as emotional as I did,” Levy shared. “Being back there… it just brought everything rushing back.”
Catherine O’Hara’s Absence Changes Everything
Before the passing of his co-star Catherine O’Hara earlier this year, Levy had been open to the idea of revisiting the world of Schitt’s Creek. But now, that possibility has shifted dramatically.
“I had always thought, maybe one day, if there was an idea worth exploring, we’d come back,” he explained. “But now… I just don’t see how we do it without her.”
O’Hara’s portrayal of Moira Rose wasn’t just a fan favorite—it was a cornerstone of the series itself. For Levy, her absence leaves a creative and emotional gap that simply can’t be filled.
“She Was the Heart of It”
Levy didn’t hold back when describing the impact O’Hara had on the show and on him personally.
“She was the heart of it,” he said. “There’s no replacing Catherine. There’s no version of this show that exists without her that would feel right to me.”
The actor and writer’s voice reportedly cracked as he spoke, underscoring just how meaningful their collaboration was during the show’s six-season run.
Protecting the Show’s Legacy
Rather than pushing forward with a sequel or reboot, Levy now seems focused on preserving what made Schitt’s Creek special in the first place.
“It was such a complete experience,” he reflected. “I think sometimes it’s okay to let something be what it was.”
The Emmy-winning series, which ended in 2020, remains one of television’s most beloved comedies—and for Levy, that legacy is something worth safeguarding.
A Final Goodbye to a TV Icon
Catherine O’Hara’s passing at 71 marked the end of an era for fans of the show. Her unforgettable performance as Moira Rose helped elevate Schitt’s Creek into a cultural phenomenon.
Now, as Levy continues to process that loss, it’s clear that any future plans for the series have taken a backseat to honoring what they created together.
“It’s not just about the show,” he said. “It’s about the people—and she meant everything to that experience.”
