Eugene Levy has stated that he would be excited to see a Schitt’s Creek spin-off picture, although he has some expectations.
In the beloved series, the 76-year-old portrayed Johnny Rose with his son Dan Levy.
The Roses are a rich family that lose their entire fortune after being deceived by their business manager, forcing them to start over in their only remaining asset, the little backwater village of Schitt’s Creek.
The sitcom ended after six popular seasons in 2020, but Eugene suggested that he’d be interested in a movie.
Speaking to Josie Gibson and Dermot O’Leary on Wednesday’s This Morning, he said: ‘It was a great run and the way it worked out, where we hit our stride, our peak right at the end of the series in a record-breaking Emmy night, would much rather have had that going on that if the show had hit big in its first or second season, and then how do you keep topping yourselves as the years go on.’
He continued, talking about the prospect of a film: ‘You can expect it, you may not get it.’
‘We’ve said we’re always keeping things open, and Daniel himself has said it really depends on the idea for what it is, because whatever it is, it has to elevate itself from the point that we left off, to the point where we’re going to pick up.
‘It has to keep moving up. When we hit that idea, definitely would we love to do it again? Yes. Would we love to get back together with the cast again? Absolutely.
‘It was just the best experience ever. But there’s nothing in the works right now, but absolutely it’s something that we would love to do.’
Dan has already indicated that we may not have seen the last of Schitt, implying that he is open to the notion of bringing the characters back to life on the big screen.
‘Some people have been asking that [about a movie],’ he said, ‘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.
‘Fingers crossed that we get a really good idea coming into our heads soon. I would love to work with these beautiful people again. This has been the most incredible experience.’
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.
