What's the story
Dan Levy, the co-creator and star of the Emmy-winning sitcom Schitt's Creek, recently revealed that he had considered a sequel series to the show. However, he clarified that this was before the death of his co-star Catherine O'Hara in January. Speaking to CBS News Sunday Morning, Levy said there can't be a Schitt's Creek without O'Hara, who played Moira Rose on the show for six seasons.

Levy returned to Goodwood, Ontario, the small town where Schitt's Creek was filmed. This was his first visit since the show ended in 2020.

I didn't think that I'd have quite an emotional reaction."
