There may have been a Schitt's Creek-shaped hole in our lives for the last six years, but Dan Levy is finally back, and already has everyone raving about his newest project - before it even began streaming.
Despite the idea previously being floated that the Emmy-winning show he created with his father, Eugene Levy, could return as a movie, he's since confirmed that without Catherine O'Hara (who died earlier this year aged 71), a reboot just simply wouldn't be possible.
Now, shaking things up, he's joined forces with comedy powerhouse, I Love LA's Rachel Sennott, for new Netflix show, Big Mistakes; a comedy-meets-a crime thriller to scratch all of our Schitt's Creek itches. And who wouldn't want that?

The plot for the show sees a pair of chaotic, disorganised siblings blackmailed into an organised crime ring.
"This looks insanely wild and hilarious. After Schitt's Creek, I'll watch anything Dan Levy makes", one fan commented.
"I was sold when I saw Levy's face", another admitted.
"You had me at gay pastor", a third joked, while someone else referenced the show that cemented him as a household name, writing: "It's like David and Stevie in an alternate universe."
“I’m so excited to be bringing this truly chaotic family story to life with Netflix,” Levy himself has said of the new chapter. “I’m thrilled with the team we’re building both behind the scenes and in front of the camera. Taylor Ortega is going to become a household name, and it’s been my life’s mission to get to call Laurie Metcalf ‘mother.’ Looking forward to getting to share this with everyone.”
