Dan Levy is not interested in returning to “Schitt’s Creek” without Catherine O’Hara. Two months after the actor died following a brief illness in January, the ‘Good Grief’ actor revealed in an emotional interview that he had considered reviving the beloved sitcom before it passed away. For years, Catherine was the heart and soul of the series, bringing irreplaceable magic to every scene and shaping the comedy’s cultural legacy. His absence has made it abundantly clear to Dan that the show cannot go on without him.On a recent episode of CBS News Sunday Morning, Dan opened up about his creative plans and where his heart is right now. Catherine admitted she was “thinking” about creating a sequel to the beloved sitcom before she died. But when asked if she saw the future of the Rose family moving forward, her answer was clear and poignant.
No sequel without Catherine O’Hara “No,” said Dan Levy simply. “Not now. You can’t.” Visiting Ontario, Canada, where ‘Schitt’s Creek’ was filmed, had an emotional impact on her during the interview. “It’s hard, it’s hard to be back,” he said, his voice breaking. “I didn’t think I would have quite an emotional reaction.”
Memories are what remain
During the interview, Dan Levy became emotional when discussing his time working with Catherine O’Hara. “Just a lot of memories. Memories with Catherine,” he said. Reflecting on what those memories mean to her, she added, “What you have to hold on to is the memories of everything.”
Permanent heritage
Following Catherine O’Hara’s death at the age of 71, Dan Levy shared a tribute on Instagram on January 30. The actor died of a pulmonary embolism due to rectal cancer.“What a gift to dance in the warm glow of Catherine O’Hara’s brilliance all those years,” she wrote. “I will cherish all the fun memories I was lucky enough to make with him.”Dan Levy, creator of ‘Schitt’s Creek’, also reflected on Catherine O’Hara’s relationship with her father. Eugene Levy.“After spending more than fifty years working with my father, Catherine was an extended family before she played in my family,” he said in the post. “It’s hard to imagine a world without him in it.”With Catherine O’Hara no longer with them, the possibility of continuing the story of the Rose family has been cut short.
