Dan Levy, the co-creator of the popular TV series “Schitt’s Creek,” revisited the Ontario town where the show was filmed, expressing emotional sentiments about being back at the iconic locations. Levy, visibly moved, reminisced about his character’s boutique shop and the memories shared with his co-star Catherine O’Hara, who passed away earlier this year.
During an interview with CBS’s “Sunday Morning,” Levy opened up about his experiences in Goodwood, Ontario, where the picturesque setting of “Schitt’s Creek” captivated audiences from 2015 to 2020. Reflecting on O’Hara’s unexpected death, Levy mentioned how her unique performances, including memorable scenes from the show, left a lasting impact.
The sudden loss of O’Hara, known for her roles in classic films like “Home Alone” and “Beetlejuice,” as well as her portrayal of Moira Rose in “Schitt’s Creek,” deeply affected Levy. Despite considering a potential reboot before O’Hara’s passing, he now cherishes the show’s legacy and the unforgettable moments created by his late co-star.
Levy also discussed his latest project, a Netflix series titled “Big Mistakes,” set to premiere in April. Despite the massive success of “Schitt’s Creek,” Levy remains focused on creating content that brings him personal fulfillment and isn’t daunted by comparisons to his previous work.
As Levy navigates the aftermath of O’Hara’s death, he continues to honor her legacy and the impact she had on both the entertainment industry and his own creative journey.
