Before Sunday’s telecast, Sarah Levy, who portrayed café owner Twyla, told Jeremy Parsons and Janine Rubenstein, hosts of PEOPLE, EW, and TNT’s Screen Actors Guild Awards pre-show, that she would be open to doing a feature-length follow-up to the popular sitcom.
She remarked, “I keep hearing about this movie!” “This remains to be seen, but I’m here for it if that’s the case.”
Together with her brother Dan Levy and father Eugene Levy, who co-created the show, the 34-year-old actress starred in Schitt’s Creek. It is tied with The Crown for the most nominations with five SAG Awards, including one for best performance by an ensemble in a comedy series.
In addition to their co-stars Annie Murphy and Catherine O’Hara, who are nominated for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series, Dan, 37, and Eugene, 74, are also nominated for outstanding performance by a male actor in a comedy series.
It’s hardly surprising that there were “many conversations over the years around the dinner table” about the series, considering how much of a family affair it was, even before it became the cherished hit that it is today.
“It’s just been an ongoing conversation for close to a decade at this point, and so the success of it hasn’t changed the conversations,” Sarah stated before to the program. “It was really just the quality of the show that was the most important part, and everything else was just the cherry on top.”
In an interview with PEOPLE the previous year, Dan discussed the possibility of a Schitt’s Creek film.
Regarding PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive issue, he stated, “I don’t think there’s a single person on our team, cast or crew, that wouldn’t want to come back for a movie.”
“But at the same time, I think the success of the show really was tied so closely to the care that was put into it and the quality that was put into it,” he said. “It would be fantastic if I could think of an idea that expands on what we’ve already done in a way that challenges our actors and feels nice, thrilling, and novel. I want that thought to come to me as I go to sleep.”
