The internet could relate to Dan mourning Catherine even months after her death. One commented on YouTube, “I feel you Dan. I started getting emotional when you went in the shop. Schitt's creek should stay as a single iteration. No sequel.” Another wrote, “We are all so sad to have lost Catherine. She was a wonderful person and Dan is right. One couldn’t do it without her.” One fan even commented, “It's amazing to me that every single person who worked w her are just devastated. She was a treasure and seemingly had no enemies in this world!” Another agreed, “It was such a beautiful show, it had me laughing in every episode. I also wanted a sequel but without Catherine it would never be the same.”

Catherine O’Hara’s death left many in shock

Catherine died at the age of 71 on January 30 from pulmonary embolism, with rectal cancer identified as the underlying cause. After her death, Dan wrote on Instagram, “What a gift to have gotten to dance in the warm glow of Catherine O’Hara’s brilliance for all those years. Having spent over fifty years collaborating with my Dad, Catherine was extended family before she ever played my family. It’s hard to imagine a world without her in it. I will cherish every funny memory I was fortunate enough to make with her. My heart goes out to Bo, Matthew, Luke and every member of her big, beautiful family.”

Schitt’s Creek had six seasons and over 80 episodes, airing from 2015 to 2020. Dan initially considered the possibility of making a feature film after the finale, but has now abandoned it.
