Schitt's Creek: Why An Alexis Prequel Would Be Far Worse Than You Think
Although the desire for a Schitt’s Creek prequel following Alexis Rose’s teenage years has grown since the season 6 finale, the series would be much worse for the characters than expected. Schitt’s Creek’s series finale said goodbye to the beloved Rose family and their friends and neighbors in the eponymous town of Schitt’s Creek, but the demand for spinoffs, movies, or sequel series hasn’t stopped.

Nonetheless, wishes for a spinoff or movie have been growing since the series came to an end, with one of the most popular ideas being a prequel series about the misadventures of Annie Murphy’s character Alexis Rose. Each of Schitt’s Creek’s Rose family characters had their own quirks related to the past, usually used by the show to demonstrate how much they'd grown throughout the series.
