Last year around the same time Dan Levy’s ‘Schitt’s Creek’ sweeped the Primetime Emmys and now he has grand deal with Netflix. Four time Emmy award winning multi talent Dan Levy will write and produce scripted content and other creative projects for Netflix.
To begin with, Dan will start working on untitled romantic comedy film with immediate effect which he will write, direct, produce and star in. Joining him in producing the film are SISTER’s Stacey Snider and Kate Fenske. He will start working on the series format from July next year.
About his relation with Netflix, Dan Levy said, “Netflix offered Schitt’s Creek a second home at just the right time and opened the doors to a whole new audience for us. Watching the show thrive there has only enhanced my excitement about continuing to tell specific, meaningful stories with them in both tv and feature film. A full circle moment.”
Dan Levy’s ‘Schitt’s Creek’ is a sitcom centred around Rose family that goes from rags to riches and end up living in a town they once bought as a joke. Adjusting to their new lives this unique family finds a new home, genuine people, fond friendships, love and much more.
