Is the Rosebud Motel reopening for business? Dan Levy & co. hint about the future of ‘Schitt’s Creek’
Schitt’s Creek, the answer is less of a “yes/no” than it is a “when?”In a new interview with The Messenger, series producer Andrew Barnsley (The Kids In The Hall reboot) says a return to the town of Schitt’s Creek is always on everyone’s mind—whether that be a reboot, a movie, or some for of sequel or continuation—especially Executive Producer/writer/star Dan Levy.“It’s something that we know there’s demand and interest for it, really,” Barnsley shares. “It’s something that I know Dan and Eugene [Levy] are considering all the time, and I think it’s going to be a timing thing.”We can’t say we’re surprised!
The funny thing with Schitt’s Creek is, it kind of feels like the show was just getting started when we had to say goodbye to the the Rose family.Ew, David!A Canadian production, the comedy premiered concurrently on fledgling American network Pop TV in 2015, and was met with mild-to-positive reviews.
But the warm-hearted series quickly found its groove and, when in 2017 all seasons thus far dropped on Netflix, it found a wider, dedicated viewership in no time. (As far as most people knew, it was an original Netflix series.)By the time its sixth and final season rolled around, the fandom had reached a fever pitch, and its 2020 finale made the skies rain with happy tears.
That year, Schitt’s Creek received a record-breaking 15 Emmy nominations and won a historic eight—four of which were shared with queer star Dan Levy, for producing the series, his Best Supporting Actor turn, and co-writing/directing the final episode.
