Dan Levy has offered an update on the prospect of a Schitt\u2019s Creek<\/a> reunion as the show\u2019s fandom remains strong almost four years since it wrapped up.<\/p>\n

The Canadian sitcom was initially only a moderate hit on its home network of CBC, but exploded into an international phenomenon after becoming available to stream worldwide on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By the time its grand finale aired in April 2020, it was one of the most popular comedies on television, with major awards to show for it \u2013 including Emmys<\/a> for Dan and Eugene Levy, plus co-stars Catherine O\u2019Hara and Annie Murphy.<\/p>\n

At the end of an interview promoting his Netflix original film Good Grief<\/a>, a comedy-drama he writes, directs and stars in, Levy was asked by Radio Times <\/strong>about whether a Schitt\u2019s Creek reunion is on the cards.<\/p>

\u201cHa! I cannot imagine a higher note to end on,\u201d he began. \u201cWe care about giving the cast and the fans a reason to come back that doesn\u2019t feel less than what they left.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a delicate balance, because when you turn people off, they\u2019ll never come back.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a valid concern as recent sitcom revivals, such as Arrested Development and Frasier<\/a>, have shown it isn\u2019t always easy to recapture the magic of the original.<\/p>\n

Levy added: \u201cUntil the idea comes, I can\u2019t see it happening. But I pray that one day it does and I think, \u2018This is it!’\u201d<\/p>\n

He joked that questions regarding the possible future of Schitt\u2019s Creek are likely to haunt him for most of his career, acknowledging that even if there was a reunion, the question would simply change to: \u201cIs there a sequel to the movie?\u201d<\/p>\n

Levy co-created Schitt\u2019s Creek with his father, American Pie star Eugene, and drew high praise for his portrayal of LGBTQ+ character David Rose, while he also wrote and directed certain episodes of the series.<\/p>\n
