Catherine O’Hara is coming to TIFF, and we’re three-quarters of the way to a Schitt’s Creek reunion

TIFF has announced the recipients of its 2025 Tribute Awards, the annual gala where celebrities are honoured for their good work and TIFF gets to stack the deck with as many A-listers as possible.

Catherine O’Hara will receive the Norman Jewison Career Achievement Award, a prize funded by the Roots family that honours the legendary Canadian director, who died in 2023. The inaugural recipient was Deadpool director Shawn Levy. Last year, the honour went to horror hero David Cronenberg.

O’Hara is obviously a worthy icon who will show up, accept her award, and say something hilarious, self-effacing and probably just a little bit bawdy. (At last year’s awards, Cate Blanchett told the audience she wasn’t wearing any underwear. Your move, Moira Rose.)

But let’s move on to the real story here: the ever-more-likely possibility of a Schitt’s Creek reunion.

Here are the facts: Dan Levy will be at TIFF because the documentary he produced on Lilith Fair is screening here. It’s a big one for Levy, so it only makes sense that his dad, Eugene, would want to be there to support him. Eugene Levy is also one of the talking heads in TIFF’s opening-night movie selection, John Candy: I Like Me, which only ups the odds.

And that just leaves Annie Murphy, who has no official reason to be at TIFF 50. But she does live in Toronto when she isn’t filming elsewhere, and based on a thorough investigation (a scan of her IMDB and Instagram), she doesn’t appear to be filming anything at the moment.

Murphy has been open about how much she would love to work with her Schitt’s fam again. So let’s get the gang back together and see if there isn’t a TIFF wheeler-and-dealer who wants to make it happen.
