After six seasons, “Schitt’s Creek” said its last goodbye to viewers and fans on Tuesday, April 7, 2020, bringing this brave and endearing show to an end. Even though many viewers would have been content to watch the show indefinitely to continue getting to know the rich-to-poor Rose family, the show’s creator Dan Levy, who co-created it with his illustrious father Eugene Levy, revealed in the spring of 2019 that the sixth season would be the last.
“We are incredibly appreciative that we were given the time and creative flexibility to tell this narrative completely, capping it off with the epilogue that we had always intended. We are well aware of the rarity of the opportunity to choose the time your performance will take its last bow in this business. We never imagined that our followers would develop such a strong bond with and love for these characters, “Levy penned.
All things considered, some viewers are speculating whether Eugene Levy, his father, and the rest of the cast — which includes Catherine O’Hara, a frequent Levy collaborator, and talented newcomer Annie Murphy as the two women of the Rose family — might be willing to return to the town of Schitt’s Creek ever again in the wake of a finale that hit all the right notes and was beautifully true to the tone and message of the entire series.
We’ll try to determine whether or not “Schitt’s Creek” will ever have a seventh season by analysing cast remarks and the perfect happy ending.
Dan Levy was ready to move on from Schitt’s Creek
Despite how difficult it was to say goodbye to “Schitt’s Creek,” Dan Levy believes that the time was right to move on. Before the sixth season’s premiere, Levy gave a GQ interview in which he was frank about his decisions.
“Although the story was set up to be concluded, I wasn’t prepared to leave. Although I would have like to continue telling this narrative indefinitely out of respect for the characters and the calibre of the storytelling, it seemed like the end “Levy informed the source.
“I had planned to wrap it up in Season 5, but we were renewed for an additional two. And I reasoned, “Well, I can spend 28 episodes instead of 14 creating the last couple chapters of this series, so that’s good “He went on. “I started writing from the beginning to the conclusion the moment I realised it.”
Levy’s decision to end his relationship with David Rose, a completely original character, wasn’t simple, either. The final day of filming, he admitted, “was the most emotional day I think I’ve ever had in my life.” “I think I sobbed nonstop for five hours that I had a splitting headache and had no idea what to do with my life. As I removed David’s shoes, I started to cry. I was sad to take those shoes off even though I would never wear them again and don’t want to ” (via GQ).
The Roses won’t be making a comeback to our televisions any time soon, if Levy has anything to say about it, and as the show’s creator, his word is rather final.
Dan Levy isn’t totally opposed to bringing it back
Dan Levy has repeatedly stated that he is content with how “Schitt’s Creek” concluded and that he never intended to extend the series merely to please fans. He acknowledges that he is not against the notion of a revival, though. They wanted to keep the ending vague, he remarked in an interview with Variety in 2020.
Levy confirmed that he had always intended for the series to end in the manner it had in a 2019 interview with Entertainment Weekly. He didn’t stop there, though. I’m really convinced that we’ve mined every possible resource, he remarked. But when it’s over, the globe doesn’t blow up.
In light of this, he continues by suggesting that “Schitt’s Creek” might reappear in the future. If something later on feels compelling enough to reunite our ensemble and continue telling a story, then so be it, he said, according to the site.
I don’t want to use an iron hand and declare that something is the end of it, he continued. “This is it for the time being.”
Other cast members have some ideas
Pop TV Dan Levy may have finished filming “Schitt’s Creek,” but some of his co-stars have suggestions for a future reunion of the Roses. Annie Murphy discussed her ideas for a potential future for these endearing, eccentric characters in a Variety cover story that detailed the birth and reign of the show.
When questioned if she believed there could be more “I’ve offered Dan (Levy) $50,000, and he’s told me to go f*** myself, Schitt’s Creek,” Murphy spat. I have no idea! There won’t likely be any additional seasons. However, a movie would be wonderful.”
Like Levy, Murphy shared his thoughts on the final scene of the season finale, in which the Rose family said farewell and parted ways. The actors’ reactions to the situation were just as intense as the characters’.
“It happened at a motel, and I’m concerned that what the public will witness is Annie Murphy and Dan Levy simply crying their way through treatment. False to character Just the two of us, crying out loud on camera. Of course, at the end, I was affected. Since then, it leaves a big void, “She spoke.
Murphy made the implication that she would support a rebirth. Write a strongly worded letter to Dan, please, Murphy stated in response to interviewer Kate Aurthur’s comment that she thought the show ended too soon. However, Levy alone must certainly decide that in the end.
The lasting legacy of Schitt’s Creek
Even if “Schitt’s Creek” doesn’t come back in any way, shape, or form, the legacy it left behind after six seasons is just as indubitable as it is heartfelt. It was made plain in an hour-long special that aired following the finale that the show’s loss will be felt keenly in the coming years.
The positive, nuanced portrayal of its LGBTQ+ characters, especially David Rose, whose speech outlining his sexuality in terms of what wine he enjoys, has become one of the show’s most iconic moments, is ultimately what “Schitt’s Creek” leaves behind.
In the documentary, the actors and well-known viewers like Carol Burnett and Cameron Crowe recalled their favourite memories of the programme, many of which were around the support that queer fans gave them. It’s obvious that Levy and his staff left behind a legacy of which they can be proud, from Pride Month festivities to drag nights themed after Moira Rose to a series of really moving emails Levy received from parents of LGBTQ+ children thanking him for the programme.
Levy, who signed a deal with ABC in 2019 to create entertainment for the network, has a lot to be proud of, even if he decides to leave “Schitt’s Creek” behind permanently. He has Emmy victories under his belt and recently gained popularity.
‘Schitt’s Creek’ is currently available on Netflix in all six seasons.
The Schitt’s Creek cast has been busy with other projects
It’s not surprising that the “Schitt’s Creek” cast has continued to book work since the show’s conclusion after a critically acclaimed final season that dominated the 2020 Emmys. Soon after, “Best Wishes, Warmest Regards: The Story of Schitt’s Creek,” a behind-the-scenes account of how the programme was created, was co-written by Eugene and Dan Levy.
Dan later starred in the gay Christmas rom-com “Happiest Season,” which was directed by Clea DuVall. Along with hosting the upcoming HBO food competition series “The Big Brunch,” he also has a recurring voice acting part in the animated series “Q-Force.”
Eugene, his father, co-wrote and co-starred in the animated Canadian short film “The Beast: Heroes of the Wildfire” and appeared in Kacey Musgraves’ “Star-Crossed: The Film.” While O’Hara provided her voice for the animated series “The Last Kids on Earth,” he will also serve as the host of the upcoming Apple TV+ series “The Reluctant Traveler.”
While Kevin Can F*** Himself gave Annie Murphy the starring part, she will also appear in the forthcoming second season of “Russian Doll.” She will also executive produce and appear in the comedy “Witness Protection.”
It makes sense that the on-screen family wouldn’t make it a priority right now to return for “Schitt’s Creek’s” seventh season given how busy their off-screen lives are.
