Although Eugene Levy has been keeping busy abroad as The Reluctant Traveler, he’s always ready to revisit Schitt’s Creek.
Despite his son and co-creator/co-star Dan Levy previously revealing he has a “kernel of an idea” for a new iteration of their beloved Canadian sitcom, the Golden Globe-nominated father apparently has yet to hear it.
“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,” he quipped on Today‘s ‘shorty Code‘.
“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,” added Eugene. “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.”
Commenting on the potential of a Schitt’s Creek movie, Eugene said, “Wow, that’s a good prediction. I kind of like that. That gets me excited. Never say never.”

With fans clamoring for a Schitt’s Creek revival ever since its six-season run ended in 2020, Dan teased his “kernel of an idea” for the reboot on series What Happens Live in July.
“I think about it all the time,” said Dan, adding, “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.”
Following the show’s 2020 finale, the show earned Eugene and Dan an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, as well as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Eugene and Outstanding Supporting Actor for Dan, who also won in the writing and directing categories for the final season.
