Annie Murphy persistently asks her former co-star Dan Levy to create a Schitt’s Creek movie. The comedy series, created by the father-son duo Dan and Eugene Levy, follows a wealthy family who lose their fortune and are forced to move to their last remaining asset: a small town called Schitt’s Creek. Mirroring reality, the Levys co-starred in the CBC series as Johnny and David Rose, a father and son duo. Catherine O’Hara played the iconic Moira Rose, Johnny’s wife, while Murphy rounded out the family as the bubbly Alexis Rose.
Premiering in 2015, Schitt’s Creek initially had a modest following. However, by its sixth and final season in 2020, the show had become a pop culture phenomenon. In its concluding year, the series garnered a record-breaking 15 Emmy nominations and took home nine trophies. The Levys, O’Hara, and Murphy swept all four acting categories. Despite the series wrapping up perfectly, diehard fans and the cast were left wanting more.
While promoting her new campaign with Tide, Annie Murphy told Us Weekly that she is eager for the Roses to reunite onscreen. The Emmy-winner jokingly revealed that she’s been trying to bribe Dan Levy every day since the series ended. Murphy added that she wants a movie to see O’Hara as Moira again. She also suggested potential storylines for a film adaptation, including the possibility of David and Patrick (Noah Reid), who got married in the final episode, adopting a child. However, she doesn’t think her character Alexis would be ready for parenthood just yet.
Murphy believes that Alexis will settle down eventually. She thinks Alexis’s on-again, off-again beau Ted (Dustin Milligan) is still endgame, even though they parted ways to pursue their dreams. She elaborated that they seem like a pair who would ultimately find their way back to each other.
Both cast members and fans hope to return to Schitt’s Creek. Murphy isn’t the only one from the beloved show to express a desire for more. Dan Levy, the creator, also dreams about bringing the TV family back together in film form. So, what’s the holdup? Levy says he’s waiting for the right idea and timing. With the chemistry of the Rose family and their quirky friends, any reunion is likely to be top-notch. Fingers crossed, bébés.
