Will 'Big Mistakes' Return for Season 2? Everything We Know So Far Dan Levy’s new Netflix comedy Big Mistakes has sparked speculation about its potential for a second season, with the show’s creator hinting at a larger story to unfold. The series, which blends humor with a crime thriller twist, follows siblings Nicky and Morgan as they stumble into organized crime after a botched theft. While no official renewal has been announced, Levy’s comments and the show’s cliffhanger ending have fueled anticipation for a follow-up. The first season ended with a dramatic twist: Morgan’s fiancé, Max, is revealed to be the son of Annette, a powerful Italian crime boss who orchestrated the family’s downfall. This revelation left the characters in a precarious position, setting the stage for future conflicts. Levy, who co-created the show with Rachel Sennott, has expressed confidence in the potential for a second season. During a red carpet interview, he stated, “We have a big old story to tell,” and emphasized that if the show is renewed, it would be “bigger and better.” The cast, including Levy, Taylor Ortega, Laurie Metcalf, Elizabeth Perkins, Boran Kuzum, Jack Innanen, Jacob Gutierrez, and Abby Quinn, is expected to return for a potential second season. Levy, who also serves as showrunner, has already begun developing ideas for the next installment, describing the plot as “written in my head.” Fans of his previous work, such as Schitt’s Creek, may appreciate the darker, more complex narrative of Big Mistakes, which balances comedic moments with high-stakes drama. While Netflix has not confirmed a renewal, the show’s mix of humor, character-driven storytelling, and suspenseful plotlines has positioned it as a strong candidate for continuation.#dan_levy #rachel_sennott #taylor_ortega #laurie_metcalf #elizabeth_perkins

Dan Levy on "Big Mistakes" and the Legacy of "Schitt's Creek" Dan Levy, the creator and star of the iconic sitcom "Schitt's Creek," recently reflected on his new project, "Big Mistakes," while filming in New Jersey. The show, which he co-created with Rachel Sennott for Netflix, centers on a New Jersey pastor and his sister, a teacher, who inadvertently become entangled with organized crime. Levy described the premise as a humorous take on a scenario he finds relatable: "I just know that if I ever were tasked with helping a criminal organization, I would be the biggest liability." He emphasized that the idea stemmed from a personal fear of being trapped, a sentiment he tied to his desire for creative freedom. Levy highlighted the casting choices for "Big Mistakes," noting that Taylor Ortega, who plays his sister, brought a natural chemistry to the role. However, he considered Laurie Metcalf’s casting as his "biggest coup," praising her ability to elevate the character regardless of the show’s outcome. "Even if everything else fails, she will be great," he said, underscoring his confidence in her performance. The series marks Levy’s first television series since "Schitt's Creek," which he co-created with his father, Eugene Levy, and co-star Martin Mull. When asked if he felt pressure to outdo "Schitt's Creek" while working on "Big Mistakes," Levy dismissed the notion. "I wouldn’t let it in," he said, explaining that the success of his previous show was a "crown jewel" he could not replicate. Instead, he focused on creating work that made him feel fulfilled. "Everything else has to be something that makes me feel good," he added, reflecting on the importance of personal satisfaction in his creative process.#dan_levy #eugene_levy #rachel_sennott #taylor_ortega #laurie_metcalf
Dan Levy Felt Immediate Pressure About What He Was 'Doing Next' After 'Schitt's Creek' Ended Dan Levy, the creator and star of the iconic sitcom Schitt’s Creek, reflected on the intense pressure he faced in the immediate aftermath of the show’s 2020 finale. Speaking during a March 30 event to promote his new series Big Mistakes, Levy described how the end of the beloved show sparked an urgent question from industry insiders: “What are you doing next?” He called this relentless inquiry “a horrible way of doing business,” emphasizing the emotional and creative toll it took on him and his collaborators. Levy, 42, explained that the transition from Schitt’s Creek to his next project required a deliberate pause. “I needed to take a minute,” he said, noting that the show’s legacy—both personally and for its fans—demanded time to process. The six-season run of Schitt’s Creek, which starred his father Eugene Levy and co-star Catherine O’Hara, had been a defining chapter of his career. Levy described the final days of filming as “really, really hard,” recalling the bittersweet moment of removing his character David Rose’s shoes for the last time. The pressure to move on quickly, Levy argued, could undermine the creative process. “Jumping into something else almost does the new project a disservice,” he said. “You’re constantly going to be comparing it to the one that came before.” He emphasized the importance of allowing time for reflection, calling it necessary to “let the dust settle” before embarking on new work. This mindset informed his approach to Big Mistakes, a Netflix series set to premiere April 9. The show follows Nicky, a character played by Levy, and Morgan, portrayed by Taylor Ortega, as they are blackmailed into the world of organized crime.#dan_levy #eugene_levy #catherine_o_hara #big_mistakes #the_idol
