Dan Levy Reveals if There Will Be a Schitt's Creek Movie After Emmys Sweep: 'Fingers Crossed'
'Schitt's Creek' Cast on What They'll Miss the Most: It Was Such a Joyous Experience
The cast reflects on the series.
Things may not be over for Schitt's Creek just yet.
Though critically-acclaimed comedy aired its series finale earlier this year, the show's co-creator Dan Levy spoke about potentially continuing the Rose family's story as a movie on Sunday during a virtual press room interview at the 2020 Emmy Awards.
"Oh my gosh. Here’s the thing: Some people have been asking that," he said about the idea of making a Schitt's Creek film. But, Levy continued, the series finale was "the best way we could’ve ever ended the show."
"If there is an idea that pops into my head and worthy of these wonderful people, it has to be really freaking good at this point," Levy, who also played David Rose on the show, said. "This is a really nice way of saying goodbye. Fingers crossed that we get a really good idea coming into our heads soon.
"I would love to work with these beautiful people again," he added of the cast. "This has been the most incredible experience."

The beloved hit — which premiered in 2015 on the Canadian network CBC and wrapped up its six-season run in April — starred father-son duo Dan and Eugene alongside O'Hara and Murphy as the Roses, a formerly affluent and out-of-touch family who lost all their money and are forced to live in a small town, the last property they own. Along the way, they meet quirky townspeople played by Emily Hampshire, Chris Elliot, Noah Reid, Dustin Milligan and more.
"First of all, I just want to say thank you to my Dad for giving me the reigns to this show, even though I didn't have any experience in the writers' room," Dan said during his acceptance speech at the virtual awards ceremony.
