Netflix revealed Big Mistakes will be the beloved Canadian creative's first series since his nine-time Emmy-winning (and 19-time Emmy-nominated) show, which starred Catherine O'Hara, his father Eugene Levy, Annie Murphy, and himself as a dysfunctional posh family forced to live in the quaint rural town of Schitt's Creek after losing their wealth.

Big Mistakes is the first series from Levy under his overall TV deal with Netflix (he also has a first-look film deal at the streamer that yielded the 2023 movie Good Grief ). Netflix formally ordered the show in May as part of a batch of pickups at the upfronts.
