When Dan Levy made Schitt’s Creek, he completely added a collection to the listing of probably the most rewatchable TV reveals ever. So, I’m all the time curious what the actor/filmmaker has cooked up subsequent. And, because it seems, the intelligent expertise is presently filming a brand new TV present for Netflix that completely appears to share some DNA with Schitt’s Creek. Let’s get into it.
A New Dan Levy Comedy Simply Began Filming
The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Dan Levy is presently in New Jersey filming a brand new comedy collection for Netflix referred to as Massive Errors, and I’m so right here for it. Levy created the collection alongside one other very humorous and gifted title in comedy as of late, Rachel Sennott, and Levy additionally serves as its showrunner. The collection will star Dan Levy alongside Taylor Ortega, Jack Innanen, Boran Kuzum and Abby Quinn, who’re serving as collection regulars, in addition to Elizabeth Perkins, Jacob Gutierrez, Joe Barbara, Josh Fadem and Mark Ivanir, who’ve recurring roles.
The report made me conscious of a TV deal Levy presently has with Netflix, which was made again in 2021, and led to Good Grief. However it’s the premise that basically has me eyeing the following Dan Levy challenge.
Why It Has Me Hooked As A Schitt’s Creek Fan
The upcoming collection, which I wouldn’t anticipate to be on the 2025 TV schedule, is centered round siblings who’re described as “deeply incapable” as they’re blackmailed into “the world of organized crime.” In fact, my thoughts went straight to Levy and Annie Murphy’s Schitt’s Creek characters, who one might describe equally.
Whereas I don’t anticipate Massive Errors to essentially be like Schitt’s Creek precisely by any means, I do suppose Levy is aware of tips on how to write hilarious sibling relationships and fish-out-of-water storylines, and this appears like that, besides this time the stakes sound a lot increased than a well-off household being pressured to dwell in a small city. I think about Levy and Ortega (who’s enjoying the sister within the collection) should be dodging literal bullets and making an attempt to return out of issues alive.
For the reason that finish of Schitt’s Creek again in 2020, Levy has positively been busy. He had a stint on Intercourse Training, together with writing/directing and starring within the Netflix film, Good Grief. He additionally hosted the 76th Emmy Awards along with his dad, Eugene Levy, final 12 months and has had credit in motion pictures like Haunted Mansion, Unfrosted, Smurfs and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I’m positively excited to see Dan Levy return to the TV comedy house, and it appears like a premise that might lend itself to a following from Schitt’s Creek followers like myself, together with a number of seasons. I might think about we are able to sit up for the present in 2026, however there’s no launch date. For now, we all know the present’s in the course of manufacturing, and that incites a response that’s the other of “Ew, David!”
