Dan Levy is stepping into a new chapter of his career with the upcoming Netflix series Big Mistakes, reflecting on life after the massive success of Schitt’s Creek.

The Emmy-winning creator and star, whose hit sitcom famously swept the Primetime Emmy Awards in its final season, says he refuses to let expectations shape his creative journey.

In a recent interview, Levy addressed whether he feels pressure to match the success of his previous show.

“No, I wouldn’t let it in. I don’t think you can,” Levy said, emphasizing the importance of focusing on personal fulfillment rather than external expectations.

He added that he prefers to “lock the door” on that pressure and accept Schitt’s Creek as a “crown jewel,” allowing future projects to simply be meaningful and enjoyable for him.

Levy, who won global acclaim for playing David Rose in Schitt’s Creek, is now both starring in and co-writing Big Mistakes, marking his first major project since the beloved series concluded.

The upcoming crime-comedy revolves around a New Jersey pastor and his sister who accidentally become entangled in organized crime. Levy revealed that the idea stemmed from his personal fear of losing freedom.

“I like my freedom,” he said, adding humorously that he would be “the biggest liability” if ever involved with a criminal organization, an idea that helped shape the show’s premise.

The series also features Taylor Ortega as Levy’s on-screen sister and Laurie Metcalf as their mother.

Big Mistakes is set to premiere on Netflix on April 9, offering fans a fresh look at Levy’s storytelling style as he moves beyond the legacy of Schitt’s Creek.
