Dan Levy Announces New Comedy Series For Netflix...

Dan Levy, the Emmy-winning creator and star of Schitt's Creek, has officially announced his next project—a new comedy series for Netflix. The news, confirmed by Netflix on Monday, marks Levy's first major TV venture since the conclusion of his hit show in 2020.

The untitled series, described as a "warm, witty workplace comedy," will see Levy as co-creator, writer, executive producer, and lead actor. Production is set to begin later this year, with a 2027 release expected. Netflix has already ordered eight episodes.

The announcement has sparked excitement among fans, with #DanLevyNetflix trending on social media. Levy’s return to television follows his successful film debut in Haunted Mansion (2023) and his recent work as a producer on The Big Brunch.

Netflix’s head of comedy, Tracey Pakosta, praised Levy’s "unique voice and heartwarming humor" in a statement. Industry insiders suggest the series could fill the void left by Schitt's Creek, which became a cultural phenomenon during its six-season run.

Levy has remained tight-lipped about plot details but hinted at a diverse ensemble cast. The project is currently casting, with filming locations yet to be confirmed. More updates are expected this summer.

This development comes as Netflix seeks fresh comedy hits amid subscriber fluctuations. Levy’s loyal fanbase and critical acclaim make this one of the most anticipated streaming releases of 2027.
