Dan Levy Rules Out a 'Schitt's Creek' Sequel After Catherine O'Hara's Death

His on-camera decision underscores how central Catherine O'Hara was to the show's identity.

Overview

  • Levy told CBS News Sunday Morning on Sunday that there will be no follow-up to Schitt's Creek, saying "No. Not now. You can't," during an emotional return to Goodwood, Ontario, where the series was filmed.
  • He said he had been thinking about a sequel before Catherine O'Hara died on January 30 and grew tearful revisiting the Rose Apothecary storefront in his first trip back since the show ended in 2020.
  • O'Hara was 71, and officials listed a pulmonary embolism as the cause of death with rectal cancer as an underlying factor, details cited across multiple reports from the L.A. County Department of Public Health.
  • The Goodwood Mercantile, which played Rose Apothecary on the show, now sells merchandise and keeps a condolence book where fans leave messages for O'Hara.
  • Schitt's Creek ran from 2015 to 2020 and won nine Emmys, and Levy is now focused on launching his new Netflix comedy Big Mistakes rather than reviving the series.
