Netflix Just Added a Schitt's Creek Star's New Comedy Show ...
A Schitt’s Creek revival isn’t currently in the works, but fans of the sitcom can now stream one of its stars’ latest comedies on Netflix.
comicbook.comHere’s a quick update on the latest around Schitt’s Creek creator Dan Levy and his new comedy as of May 2026.
- Dan Levy has launched a Netflix comedy series called Big Mistakes. The show premiered in early April 2026 and has drawn substantial attention for its blend of dark family humor with a crime caper premise. Critics have generally responded positively, with early Rotten Tomatoes coverage highlighting strong ensemble work and Levy’s familiar comic voice.[1][2]
- The premise centers on two siblings who become entangled in the organized crime underworld after a botched theft, with Levy starring and co-creating alongside Rachel Sennott. The cast also includes Taylor Ortega and Laurie Metcalf. Early press notes emphasize the cast’s chemistry and pre-shoot rehearsal process as key to the show’s dynamic.[2][1]
- There hasn’t been a confirmed renewal for a second season yet. Netflix typically weighs viewership numbers and critical reception before deciding on future installments, and as of mid-May 2026 there’s no official announcement on Big Mistakes Season 2. Fans should watch for formal updates from Netflix or the series’ production team.[3]
What this means for fans
- If you enjoyed Schitt’s Creek, Big Mistakes offers Levy continuing the blend of character-driven humor with offbeat, high-stakes scenarios, though it’s a notably different tonal direction (crime comedy). The show is available to stream on Netflix, with all episodes released for binge viewing in the first season.[1]
- Given Levy’s past success and the positive early reception, a second season could be likely, but we’ll need Netflix’s confirmation or expansion on the story direction to be certain.[3]
