During the show’s six-season run, which ended in 2020, O’Hara won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her role as Moira.
TheArgyllestar also shares her gratitude to Dan and Eugene, who created the beloved Canadian sitcom, for “giving me that role, or giving me that opportunity to develop the role with them and to collaborate.”

“It’s such a gift to work with people with whom you can collaborate. And they wrote such great scripts, and it was just so fun and so lovely,” she says. “And really, I hate to sayCOVIDwas good for anything, but we really lucked out with Netflix showing the show. Then so many families being holed up, parents and adult children being holed up under the same roof.”
“So many people were going through that. So it turned out that [it was] just the timing …” she adds. “You can’t predict these things. It was the scripts, the idea of working with Eugene and Daniel, and then to have such a lovely experience with all of them.”
“I see these people all the time. We’re in constant contact with each other," he said at the time. “So the love is there. The desire to work together is there, and the desire to tell more stories is there.”
“I think it just comes down to making sure that it’s the right story to tell,” he added. “And I think we’re also proud of the work we did onSchitt’s. And when you end on such a high, it really forces you to think very carefully about what the next step is. Because whatever that is, is an extension of something that most people don’t have, don’t get to see in their life. And I really respect the audience in that thing.”

“I think when you have an audience that’s paid attention to you for 80 episodes of a television show, the last thing you want is to put something out that makes them think this feels like a cash grab,” he explained. “And that’s not what we’re about. So TBD, but a TBD with an exclamation mark on the end.”
