Our Take On The Cast of Dan Levy’s Schitt’s Creek Follow-up Big Mistakes
The Upcoming Comedy Has An Impressive Lineup
Levy’s lineup copies the clever approach of his earlier series, asSchitt’s Creekcast comedy veterans like Catherine O’Haraand Levy’s father, Eugene, alongside relative newcomers like Annie Murphy. Metcalf is a comedy icon thanks to roles in everything fromThe Big Bang TheorytoHacks, while Ortega’s lower profile makesBig Mistakesa potential breakthrough for her.
Levy also returns to a role in front of the camera as well as behind the scenes again, which is even better news forBig Mistakes. Levy’s role as David was a highlight ofSchitt’s Creek, and the star has been missed in smaller roles over the last five years.
As such, it seems Netflix’s next Levy project has the makings of a cult classic. With the creator ofSchitt’s Creek, a killer cast, andBottomsstar Rachel Sennott producing,Big Mistakeslooks like it will be anything but when the Netflix original arrives.
