Dan Levy has said a sequel to the much-loved sitcom Schitt's Creek is no longer possible following the death of co-star Catherine O'Hara.

In a recent interview, Levy shared that while the idea of revisiting the show had crossed his mind earlier, he has now ruled it out. He admitted he had been considering a follow-up before O’Hara’s passing but said continuing the story without her would not be feasible.

Levy also returned to the iconic Rose Apothecary set for the first time since the series ended in 2020. The visit proved emotional, as he reflected on the memories associated with the show and his time working alongside O’Hara.

He described the experience as overwhelming, noting that being back brought back a flood of memories, particularly those connected to his co-star. He added that cherishing those memories is now what remains.

O’Hara, widely celebrated for her portrayal of the eccentric Moira Rose, passed away on January 30 at her Los Angeles home after a brief illness at the age of 71. Her performance was a defining element of the show’s success and earned her several accolades, including an Emmy Award in 2020.

Co-created by Levy and his father Eugene Levy, the series first aired in 2015 and ran for six seasons. It followed the wealthy Rose family, who lose their fortune and are forced to rebuild their lives in a small town they had once bought as a joke.

Over time, the show gained global popularity and critical acclaim, culminating in a historic sweep at the Emmy Awards, where it won nine trophies in its final season, including best comedy series.

The ensemble cast also featured Annie Murphy, whose performance contributed to the show’s widespread appeal.
