Dan Levy Compares Heated Rivalry Success to Schitt’s Creek

Published by Daniella Wilson

The Critics Choice Association started Pride Month festivities early, as the organization hosted its third annual Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema & Television on Friday in Los Angeles. The event recognized a star-studded lineup of LGBTQ+ stars and creatives, with Dan Levy, Hannah Einbinder, Noah Schnapp, Jane Lynch and Heated Rivalry creator Jacob Tierney all receiving honors. Levy, currently on the Emmy campaign trail for his new show Big Mistakes, opened up in his speech about his desire for queer people to be able to make Hollywood projects “without the added weight of responsibility — knowing that what we make needs to work in order to make an impact, in order for more of our stories to be told. Imagine the bliss of making something, knowing that there are so many queer stories being told that we can simply create for entertainment’s sake, or better yet, fail and be given a second chance.” He mused that often those running the industry “think they know what they want until a Schitt’s Creek or a Heated Rivalry comes …

Dan Levy Considered Schitt’s Creek Sequel Before Catherine O’Hara Died

Dan Levy Considered Schitt’s Creek Sequel Before Catherine O’Hara Died

Published by Daniella Wilson

Dan Levy knows there’s no Schitt’s Creek without Catherine O’Hara. During a recent interview on CBS News Sunday Morning, the Emmy-winning actor, producer and showrunner visited Goodwood — the small town in Ontario, Canada, where Schitt’s Creek was filmed — for the first time since the sitcom wrapped in 2020. While standing outside the store that was once called Rose Apothecary, the fictional boutique his character David Rose owned, CBS News’ Anthony Mason asked if there was any chance for a sequel series. “No. Not now,” Levy replied. “You can’t.” The Big Mistakes co-creator added that at one point, he was “thinking about” a follow-up to Schitt’s Creek. However, that was before O’Hara died on Jan. 30 at age 71 from a pulmonary embolism, with rectal cancer as the underlying cause. The actress played David’s mom and eccentric soap opera star, Moira Rose, on the show for six seasons. “It’s tough. It’s tough being back. I didn’t think that I’d have quite an emotional reaction,” Levy told Mason as he struggled to hold back tears. He added that …

Levy, the show’s co-creator, had previously that fan speculation had inspired him to consider a potential revival of the Emmy-winning comedy series after it aired from 2015 to 2020. But after O’Hara — who played flamboyant matriarch Moira Rose on the Canadian sitcom — died from a pulmonary embolism in January at age 71, Levy said there is no way that the show could return without her. “No. We can’t,” Levy, 42, said in an interview with CBS News published Sunday. “I was thinking about it. Yeah. It’s tough. It’s tough going back.” He told the broadcaster that it was “awe-inspiring” to work with the comedian on the show. Dan Levy said he is not interested in doing a ‘Schitt’s …

March is a fun one, since we experience a little bit of more than one season–at least most places in the U.S. do–and the slight promises of spring in colder locales become true signs of the new season by the end of the month. But March isn’t exciting just for its transitions. March is also a busy month for publishing. There are so many new books hitting shelves this month, and that includes a wealth of YA books. We’ve had a slower start to 2026, but things are picking up quickly now. For the first week of new releases, we’ve got a couple of novels gracing readers with simultaneous publication in hardcover and in paperback. I’ve mentioned several times how much this micro-trend in publishing has been welcomed over the past year or so, and it’s great to see it continue. Offering readers options for …
