Eugene Levy Unaware Of Schitt’s Creek Reboot Plans

Despite ongoing fan speculation, Eugene and Dan Levy stress that any new Schitt’s Creek project will only proceed if the idea feels right to them.

Fans of the beloved Canadian sitcom Schitt's Creek have been buzzing with anticipation ever since whispers of a possible reboot began circulating. But as of September 22, 2025, the show’s patriarch, Eugene Levy, has made it clear he’s not in the loop about any concrete plans—at least not yet. According to Deadline and Variety, Eugene, who is currently busy with the travel-comedy series The Reluctant Traveller, admitted that he hasn’t heard much about his son Dan Levy’s “kernel of an idea” for a new iteration of the Emmy-winning show.

“If he said he had a kernel of an idea for a reboot, he didn’t lay it on me. I don’t know what he necessarily comes up with, I don’t have Instagram,” Eugene quipped on Today’s ‘Girl Code’ segment, as reported by Variety. The comment, delivered with his signature dry wit, underscores just how much fans—and even some cast members—are in the dark about what the future might hold for the Rose family and their quirky community.

For those who might have missed the phenomenon, Schitt's Creek wrapped up its six-season run in 2020, bowing out with a sweep of the Emmy Awards that year. The series, co-created by Eugene and his son Dan, was lauded for its sharp writing, heartfelt performances, and for breaking new ground in the way it portrayed LGBTQ+ relationships. Eugene walked away with the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, while Dan took home Outstanding Supporting Actor, as well as writing and directing awards for the show’s final season. Together, they also shared the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series—a rare feat for a father-son duo.

Despite the accolades and the continued devotion of fans, the show’s creators have been cautious about the idea of a reboot. “Listen, we’ve always said we would love—obviously, we love this group, we love the cast, we love the show, and we would love to get together and do something,” Eugene told Variety. “It’s just, no idea has come up. Nobody has come up with the idea yet. And whatever it is, it has to start kind of on the level where we left off. Otherwise, there’s no point.”

Dan Levy, for his part, has been a bit more forthcoming—if not with specifics, then at least with sentiment. Back in July 2025, during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Dan teased that he has a “kernel of an idea” for a new chapter in the Schitt’s Creek saga. But he’s also made it clear that he’s in no rush. “I think about it all the time,” Dan confessed, as quoted by Variety. “I love the show so much, and I don’t want to disappoint the show and I don’t want to disappoint the fans. And I know it’s easy to just take a check and put something out there, but I care about it too much. I’m just waiting for that idea to be the right one. And then maybe, yeah.”

That tension—between fan demand and creative integrity—has defined the conversation around a possible reboot. Since the final episode aired, calls for more Schitt’s Creek have only grown louder. Social media campaigns, online petitions, and endless speculation have kept the show’s name trending long after its finale. Yet, as both Levys have emphasized, any return to the world of Schitt’s Creek would have to live up to the high bar set by the original.

“Whatever it is, it has to start kind of on the level where we left off. Otherwise, there’s no point,” Eugene reiterated, as reported by Variety. It’s a sentiment that underscores the family’s commitment to quality over quantity—a rarity in a television landscape often driven by nostalgia-fueled revivals.

Meanwhile, Eugene has been carving out a new niche for himself as the host of The Reluctant Traveller, a globe-trotting comedy series that sees him stepping far outside his comfort zone. The project has kept him busy, but he’s never far from the world that made him a household name for a new generation. “We love this group, we love the cast, we love the show, and we would love to get together and do something,” Eugene said, leaving the door open—if only a crack—for a future reunion.

Dan’s cautious optimism is echoed by his repeated assurances that, while he’s not opposed to revisiting Schitt’s Creek, he’s determined to do it right. “I don’t want to disappoint the show and I don’t want to disappoint the fans,” he said, highlighting the pressure that comes with following up a critically acclaimed series. “I know it’s easy to just take a check and put something out there, but I care about it too much.”

It’s a refreshing stance in an era where many beloved shows have returned to mixed results. The Levys’ approach—measured, thoughtful, and deeply respectful of their audience—may be what sets them apart. For now, fans will have to be content with reruns and the occasional tantalizing hint of what might come next.

Looking back, the impact of Schitt’s Creek can’t be overstated. The show not only brought laughter but also offered a groundbreaking portrayal of acceptance and love, particularly through the relationship between Dan’s character, David, and his partner Patrick. Its success at the 2020 Emmy Awards was seen as a watershed moment for Canadian television and for LGBTQ+ representation on screen.

As the speculation continues, one thing is clear: any return to Schitt’s Creek will be on the Levys’ terms. They’re not looking to cash in on past glory, but to honor the spirit of a show that resonated so deeply with audiences around the world.

So, what’s next for the Roses? For now, it’s anyone’s guess. But if and when the right idea comes along, fans can rest assured it’ll be worth the wait. Until then, the legacy of Schitt’s Creek remains intact—a testament to the power of great storytelling, a talented cast, and a father-son duo who’ve changed the face of comedy, one awkward family dinner at a time.
