Dan Levy considered a Schitt’s Creek sequel before Catherine O’Hara died
Dan Levy told it CBS Sunday morning that he was considering a “Schitt’s Creek” sequel before the death of his co-star, Catherine O’Hara.
Although he claimed a sequel series “can’t” be made now, Levy said he “thought about it” before O’Hara died.
During his interview, Levy visited the Rose Apothecary location from “Schitt’s Creek.” Levy said he hadn’t been on set since the show wrapped just before 2020.
“It’s hard, it’s hard to be back,” he said. “I didn’t expect to get an emotional response.” He later added: “Just a lot of memories, a lot of memories with Catherine. It’s what you have to hold on to, it’s the memories of it all.”
O’Hara died on January 30 at her home in Los Angeles after a short illness. She was 71.
O’Hara led “Schitt’s Creek” as deluded housewife Moira Rose. She co-starred with Dan Levy, Eugene Levy and Annie Murphy. The show followed an exuberantly wealthy family who became destitute overnight after falling victim to fraud.
“Schitt’s Creek” premiered on Canadian broadcaster CBC in 2015 and ran for six seasons until 2020. The show won nine Emmys during its run, including an Outstanding Comedy Series win and Outstanding Lead Actress for O’Hara, both in 2020.
Highlights of O’Hara’s fifty-year career in Hollywood include starring roles in films such as “Best in Show,” “Home Alone,” “Beetlejuice” and “After Hours.” She also appeared in TV shows such as ‘The Studio’, ‘The Last of Us’, ‘Central Park’ and ‘The Last Kids on Earth’.
