‘Life With Derek’ Stars Michael Seater & Ashley Leggat On Whether To Expect More Spinoffs In The Future

etcanada.com:

Beloved Canadian series “Life with Derek” has a spinoff movie. Premiering in 2005, the original sitcom followed the shenanigans of teenage step-siblings Derek [Michael Seater] and Casey [Ashley Leggat] as they jockeyed for top-dog status in the blended family. “Life with Derek” aired for four seasons, but with TV revivals all the rage these days, it was only a matter of time before the comedy received a reboot entitled “Life with Luca”.  “We are that nostalgic show,” Leggat tells ET Canada. “Hindsight is always 20/20, but you look back and we did something really amazing.

The amount of people, too, that say ‘I did better in school because of Casey. I used her study method and it helped me get my medical license.’ It’s crazy to me that these characters resonated so much with people.” “While making the series, I don’t think we were so aware of how significant it was for people,” Seater chimes in. “It was a different time.

The internet didn’t play into things the same way. Over time, realizing how much the show meant to people and how prolific it was… I don’t think I was nearly as proud of the show then as I am now.

I realized we really made something that people cared about.” READ MORE: ‘Life With Derek’ Spin-Off Movie, Titled ‘Life With Luca’, Set To Premiere In February Rumours of a “Life with Derek” project have been circling around for numerous years, but nothing every manifested.
