It isn’t tho. Like let’s look at Gen V from “the boys” universe. The stupidest thing they did in the last season was kill off the person who died irl. They needed to simply recast him and continue the story. It’s disgusting and disrespectful to the character to kill them off for NO REASON like that. An actor isn’t a character, they are an actor.

I *whole heartedly believed* we would eventually get some kind of sequel or limited series or movie. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind given how popular it was, and how much all the actors wanted to return. I can’t imagine they’ll ever want to do it without Catherine, now or in the future.

VenezuelanStan Apr 5, 2026 +127
I can see a tv movie, or a full fledged movie in 10-15 years, with both Alexis and David coming back for whatever shenanigans happened to the Rosebud, trying to save it, and they start to talk about their parents that are no longer with them.
127
Curulinstravels Apr 6, 2026 +232
Given that Eugene is also the actor who plays David's dad in real life, I highly doubt this is a plot line he would want to visit.

Ok_Outcome_6213 Apr 6, 2026 +102
Yeah, if he isn't willing to revisit it without Catherine (who is a life-long family friend), I can't imagine he would ever want to revisit it without his own father.

soenottelling Apr 6, 2026 +8
You'd be surprised how oddly catharsis can function sometimes. Sometimes just interacting with something that had such a strong connection to someone you cared about can be enough of a reason. Doing it so soon?... you probably want to step away from it for a while to make sure you aren't making something weird or disingenuous. The loss is still raw and you feel brittle in the cold heat of that sadness. But in a bunch of years after you've had time to mull over if its the right thing or not? Opinions change; "The right story" can be found; A story about someone shifts from feeling exploitative to feeling exploratory. A shift from mourning in the immediate aftermath of their death, to celebrating their life. Etc. They say that grief is love and passion without a home? Well, going back and working on something like that -- even if hard -- can be a great outlet for that love you still hold in your heart. Levy's response is, ultimately, in regards to the short term, not to the long-term. He's really just saying "I had it on my radar as a solid possibility, and now it is not, because I don't want to make this without her." People say the same thing about making post-death plans, or making content about their loved ones. It might hurt to engage with those memories or prepare for such loss, but its a sweet kind of pain, because you get to interact with those loved ones again.

VenezuelanStan Apr 6, 2026 -26
There's a reason why I say that many years, but I don't wanna say it because I don't wanna put it into the universe. Just know it would make if it happens that why and if Dan still wants to revisit the show in that amount of years.

Would have loved a Schitt’s Creek Christmas special. David and Patrick have adopted babies. Everyone comes home for annual Christmas traditions. Stevie is several years into being a business leader. And enjoys the holidays off, with another swingers party. Alexis is struggling delivering gifts and an amazing experience to the town. Some hockey stars from Ottawa, Montreal and New York stay at the motel last minute due to airports and winter storm.

They could make an entire movie out of David and Alexis trying and failing to plan thieve mother’s funeral while Johnny actually does all the planning.

ShedMontgomery Apr 6, 2026 +18
That would be in extremely poor taste and utterly disrespectful to someone who was basically family to him.

Ah c***. F****** autocorrect. I did. “Their” was autocorrected to “thieve”. Trying and failing to plan “their” mother’s funeral. Not planning to steal from it. À la David’s planning of a baby shower.

ShedMontgomery Apr 6, 2026 +4
Gathering the cast and crew to make an episode that plays Moira's funeral for humor would not go over well at all. Catherine wasn't just a coworker to Dan. He said in his IG post after her death that she was extended family to him. He grew up knowing her.

I know this news will probably be disappointing to a lot of SC fans, but I just think how lucky we were to have her give us Moira at all. I truly believe she will go down as one of the greatest sitcom characters of all time.

Most SC fans that I’ve seen actually totally understand why he wouldn’t want to do it without her.

Because you can't. You just can't. I'd have absolutely LOVED a sequel.. But without Moira, there is no show.

Levitlame Apr 6, 2026 +39
She’s too big a personality. The family dynamic wouldn’t function right without her. And you can’t replace that loss. About the only thing you could do is spin off Alexis in NYC, but you’d just be better off making a whole new separate show at that point knowing Moira is gone.
39
f0gax Apr 6, 2026 +6
> spin off Alexis Hijacking this: I'm always of two minds about prequels. Sometimes it's fun to know more about the past, sometimes it kind of ruins the original. That said, if someone wanted more content I thought they could make an animated show that flesh out Alexis' off-hand comments about her past. It wouldn't be the kind of show that has a through line. It would jump around between her exploits.

That, and the fact that she didn’t announce she was sick so it’s even more shocking & surprising. (Of course the public is not owed that info, just stating that is what added to it hitting so hard)

Norm MacDonald and Gilbert Gottfried was the same. The armchair psychologist in me says it's because them being comedians they don't want to make people sad talking about their cancer.

Chadwick Boseman is the one that comes to mind for me. Kept his cancer pretty secret and then suddenly we found out he was dead.

You have to remember that Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy had been working together (closely) since the 70's, longer than the entirety of Dan's life. This wasn't just an actress on his show passing, this was someone who was likely considered family to him.

They didn't really ask him it. They asked about his experience with other people asking about if there'd be a sequel.

I watched the video and he literally said "fans all the time ask if there will ever be a sequel" how is that not just indirectly asking him if there will be a sequel

I notice this a lot in interviews, when it comes to the question that people want to know but that feels inappropriate to ask interviewers will couch it with “people might ask you why…” or “the question some people have is…” or other language like that… like girl YOU are asking the question at that point lol

iamwelly Apr 5, 2026 +159
I thought they should celebrate her with a guest special for Moira’s funeral. Bring in actors/comedians to play versions of themselves to say goodbye with a Moira style funeral. Maybe it’d be too weird. I just don’t like thinking we don’t get to say some kind of goodbye to Catherine O’Hara.

They'll show a picture of her during a scene set at the Oscars ceremony as part of the "In Memoriam" segment, and it will just be a regular photo of Catherine O'Hara.

For the show it is? She specifically doesn't get the In Memoriam. And stinks are raised.

Gay_Void_Dropout Apr 6, 2026 +3
Actually that would be amazing. Show an entire episode of them talking about her memorial, how they can’t wait to see it. Last scene is them skipping her or something and Seth going “what the f..” then black screen and the actual memoriam comes up from the irl people to her.

“Tastefully for everyone” is never thing, was never a thing, and hopefully will still never be a thing. Who tf cares if it’s tasteful? The only person we care about with this is the dead woman it’s about/for. Anyone else can shove it.

Familiar-Banana-8116 Apr 5, 2026 -1
I know nothing about her except what I have read recently. She was professional, well liked, had a lot of friends. I think the idea is easy to pull off. Just get her friends who are comedians and allow them to practice their craft. Stand back, stay out of their way. They know.

[deleted] Apr 6, 2026 +14
Thank god they don’t let the fans program television. Imagine how maudlin that would be. She deserves better. I suspect The Studio will address her death well and be a good tribute, but letting this show stay ended is the proper tribute.
14
Hermiona1 Apr 5, 2026 +14
She will most likely have an episode centered around her character in The Studio. I like to think it's gonna be maybe something like they will look for something of her and the whole episode we will learn more about her character.

Ooh, I have a stupid idea if they were to do this: they should introduce this random character with the running gag of them being her favorite person who she thought so highly of, and the character's bewildered because they never met her in their entire life. Parallelling that one episode of the original series where Bob's brother was apparently such a huge fan of Johnny and wanted him to speak at the funeral. I love that episode

erossthescienceboss Apr 5, 2026 -2
I think the way to do it is —- when they finally decide to do a sequel — don’t make it kitschy. Use it is a chance to explore how families deal with grief. Any show can do a tribute episode. I think the best tribute is to simply acknowledge the way these losses move us.

I gotta politely disagree. Their growth was somewhat entertaining, but Moira put pizzaz and theater into the show that really helped it stand out. There's a reason why folding in the cheese and the crows are so iconic nowadays

MikeAlex01 Apr 6, 2026
I understand what you mean, but I just really didn't care about Moira by the end of it. She was funny at first. Then she just stayed the same and it made me start dreading her plotlines more than anything else.

Gay_Void_Dropout Apr 6, 2026 -1
I mean you not caring about the clear backbone of the show doesn’t change facts lol. Nothing you just said makes her not the backbone. Cause she was. She’s the only reason the show worked. You could fully replace Alexis for instance an it would be the same. I hesitate to say the same about Levi only cause the actual dad/son relationship that clearly helped the show too. But our crazy mother was the reason the show was successful. Even if she annoyed you.

Respect for knowing when a door is closed. Like it is sad yes. Maybe they can bring the spirit to a later project, but it will not be the same thing. Loss is important, it teaches us the things we'd rather not know. But it is vital. I'm... extremely hostile to torch passing. It's rarely handled well, honestly can't tell you one where it works. But it is not a lease turnover. Admitting something is over must be extremely difficult in the current system, but respect to Dan Levy for shutting it down hard.

f0gax Apr 6, 2026 +3
> Respect for knowing when a door is closed. Just in general I really wish more fans, show runners, and/or networks/streamers knew when (and how) to quit. Know that the story is told.

OreoSpeedwaggon Apr 6, 2026 +7
He's right. Even if the sequel would have been excellent with great writing and top-notch performances, the absence of Moira would have been too overshadowing, and there's no way that they could ever recast the character.

They should do a 2 or 3 episode run using unshown clips of her (memories) as the family plans, and attend a funeral then grieves. Her salary goes to her estate. I would watch as long as it was done well and I have no doubt that Dan could do it.
