- Dan Levy says there "can't" be a *Schitt's Creek *sequel in the wake of Catherine O'Hara's death.

- O'Hara's costar on the sitcom, which Levy also co-created, broke into tears when discussing the possibility on *CBS Sunday Morning*.

- O'Hara died at the age of 71 on January 30 from a pulmonary embolism, with rectal cancer as an underlying cause.

Catherine O'Hara's fans will always have six seasons of *Schitt’s Creek* to rewatch whenever they miss the beloved Canadian comedienne, who died in January at the age of 71. But six seasons is likely all there's going to be.

Dan Levy, who co-created and starred on the series alongside O'Hara, recently took a trip to Goodwood, Ontario, the quaint hamlet where *Schitt's Creek *shot each of its 80 episodes (and one special).

Strolling through Goodwood and reflecting on the golden years of producing *Schitt's Creek's*, Levy surprised himself by breaking down into tears over the prospect of a sequel without O'Hara.

"No, not now," he told *CBS Sunday Morning** *correspondent Anthony Mason, who asked if there could ever be more *Schitt's Creek *in the wake of the tragedy in a clip shared on Sunday. "You can't."

Levy explained that before O'Hara's death, he was "thinking about" a *Schitt's Creek *sequel, reboot, or some other kind of revival. But "it's tough," he said, not explaining why, and not exactly needing to.

The eldest child of his *Schitt's Creek *co-creator and costar, Eugene Levy, then stammered, looked away, pulled off his eyeglasses, and wiped away tears.

"I didn't think that I would have quite an emotional reaction," he said.

Mason asked what Dan was feeling.

"Just a lot of memories. A lot of memories with with Catherine," he shared, standing in the center of the town where they spent so many years volleying off one another. "It's what you have to hold onto, the memories of it all."

O'Hara died on January 30. Her cause of death was later revealed as a result of a pulmonary embolism, with rectal cancer as an underlying cause. Though she hadn't made that challenge public, she had spoken previously about a rare medical condition she lived with called cardiac inversus, which causes the internal organs appear on the opposite side of the body from where they're normally found.

Sufferers can live their whole lives without incurring any adverse effects. But some see complications when other conditions arise, especially heart conditions, according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders.

Dan grew up with O'Hara, as his father and the comedienne began a fruitful creative collaboration shortly after meeting each other at Toronto's Second City Theater in the 1970s.

Two months after her death, Dan remembered his beloved costar in an emotional interview on *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon*.

"It's a collective loss. She was the greatest. She's irreplaceable. I think the great comfort for me has just been to see how loved she was. The outpouring — everyone felt like they kind of knew her," he said.
