Remembering Catherine O’Hara: Here’s how to watch ‘Schitt’s Creek’ to celebrate late actress’s legacy
After the confirmation that Catherine O’Hara has passed away at 71, many fans couldn’t help but find themselves thinking about the same thing almost immediately: “I need to watch O’hara’s work again.” Not later. Not someday. Now. And one of those shows is ‘Schitt’s Creek’, where her performance as Moira Rose remains one of the most delightful characters ever put on screen. The comedy series has long been a staple of comfort viewing on television. It’s the show people put on while folding laundry or cooking dinner, and then realize they’ve stopped everything just to listen.
So, where can you stream ‘Schitt’s Creek’ right now? The full series is currently available on Hulu, as reported by Just Jared. That means all six seasons, all the awkward town hall meetings, over-the-top Moira monologues, wig reveals, and more, are all in one place. Hulu’s standard plan with ads starts at $11.99 per month. There’s also the option to bundle Hulu with Disney+ for just a small increase in the monthly cost, which many fans may already have. Moreover, several films connected to O’Hara’s long career are also part of Hulu’s catalog.
So, it becomes less of a single rewatch and more of a full O’Hara appreciation run without having to switch apps every night. And people are doing just that. The passing of O’Hara was confirmed in a statement to the BBC. Her agent revealed that she died on Friday, January 30, at her home in Los Angeles after a “brief illness.” The news triggered a wave of tributes, but it also brought attention to the work that made her a household name. O’Hara is survived by her husband, Bo Welch, and their two sons, Matthew and Luke, along with her siblings.
While tributes from co-stars and fans continue to pour in, many viewers are choosing to pay their respects in the simplest way possible: by watching her work. For those who are not familiar with the series, ‘Schitt’s Creek’ is about the Rose family, whose fortune is lost overnight because of financial fraud. The only thing they have left is a small, unimpressive town that they bought years ago as an investment joke. The family has no choice but to move to this new place and start anew.
O’Hara played Moira as a former television star clinging to glamour, language, and a version of herself she refuses to let disappear. Her accent alone became iconic. There are entire communities online dedicated to quoting her. There have been entire Halloween parties themed around her outfits. So if you’re wondering where to watch ‘Schitt’s Creek’ right now, the answer is simple. Head to Hulu—press play. Let Moira Rose remind you why Catherine O’Hara mattered so much.
