“I’m so excited about this,” Hampshire told PEOPLE exclusively. “I actually think they’re going to be some of the best Emmy hosts ever, the two of them together. So I’m really looking forward to it.”
The comedy about a wealthy family who had to rebuild their lives in the fictional town of Schitt’s Creek after losing everything, ran for 80 episodes from 2015 to 2020. As in real life, Eugene and Dan portrayed a father, Johnny Rose, and a son , David Rose.

The series was a fan favorite before achieving critical success in later seasons, including winning all four acting categories and winning Outstanding Comedy Series at the 72nd Emmy Awards in 2020.
Since then, there have been rumors of a revival or return to the big screen, which Hampshire addressed.
“We’d all love to come back. We didn’t want it to end, it was the right ending. We’re never going to do a show again, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we did something like a movie,” she told PEOPLE at an event on Thursday.

When asked where Stevie could be – maybe a hotel magnate – Hampshire thought for a moment and replied, “I don’t know!”
“I think that’s what took so long to make something. It’s like, ‘What are the stories?’ I once had a dream that Stevie was pregnant and I told Dan about it and he said, ‘Maybe it’s going to happen.’ I don’t know!” she said.
Of Schitt’s Creek, Hampshire starred in the Chapelwaite, Equipment and even appeared in a cameo episode on The Real Housewives of New York.
