He didn't lay it on me: Eugene Levy on Dan Levy's idea of 'Schitt's Creek' reboot

Eugene Levy reveals his son Dan hasn't shared his "kernel of an idea" for a Schitt's Creek reboot, though both are open to reuniting the beloved cast.

"If he said he had a kernel of an idea for a reboot, he didn't lay it on me. - Eugene Levy"

Washington, DC, September 22

Actor Eugene Levy, who is currently busy with the comedy series 'The Reluctant Traveller', admitted that he is not aware of his son Dan Levy's series 'Schitt's Creek' reboot, reported Deadline.

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 'Girl Code' as quoted by Variety.

"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," concluded Eugene as quoted by Variety.

With fans clamouring 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 Watch 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," as quoted by Variety.

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.

Typical Indian dad energy from Eugene Levy - "he didn't lay it on me" 😂 Reminds me of my father who never knows what I'm up to on social media either. But seriously, they should take their time - better no reboot than a bad one.

As much as I loved Schitt's Creek, I appreciate Dan's approach. So many shows get ruined by unnecessary reboots. The original was perfect - if they can't match that quality, better to leave it as it is. Quality over quantity always!

This show has such a special place in my heart. The character development was incredible. I'd love to see what happens to the Rose family next, but only if the original creative team is fully on board. No half-hearted attempts please!

The fact that Eugene doesn't have Instagram is so relatable! My parents are the same. But seriously, this show brought so much joy during difficult times. I trust Dan's judgment - if he says he's waiting for the right idea, we should be patient.

While I appreciate their commitment to quality, it's a bit disappointing that they haven't even discussed ideas yet. The fans have been waiting for years. Maybe they should consider a movie format instead of a full series reboot?
