Dan Levy, who is set to return with his new show Big Mistakes, recently appeared for an interview on CBS Sunday Morning. During the conversation, he revealed that he had once been considering a sequel to Schitt’s Creek before the tragic passing of Catherine O’Hara, who famously played the role of Moira Rose in the beloved series. He further confirmed that a sequel is no longer possible.

During the interview, he also revisited the Rose Apothecary location from Schitt’s Creek, which his character purchased on the show. The scenes were filmed at Ferguson’s General Store, located along Goodwood’s main street, which Levy had not visited after the show wrapped up. Looking back, he grew emotional as he recalled working with O’Hara and the memories they shared while working together.

“It’s tough, it’s tough being back,” he said. “I didn’t think that I’d have quite an emotional reaction.” 

Levy further added, “Just a lot of memories, a lot of memories with Catherine. It’s what you have to hold on to, is the memories of it all.”
