"Schitt's Creek, Dan Levy's sitcom about a once-wealthy family forced to slum it in a dingy motel in the arse end of nowhere, belongs firmly in this category."
"Historically, these deals haven't always seemed like the wisest investment: Amazon has reportedly paid Fleabag Creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge $100m, but a similar blockbuster is yet to materialise."
"Big Mistakes, however, probably is. Co-created with I Love LA's Rachel Sennott, it stars Levy as Nicky, a nervy pastor who is keeping his boyfriend a secret from his family and his flock."
Television shows fall into two categories: those that create stars and those made by stars. Shows like Schitt's Creek exemplify grassroots success, turning unknowns into household names. Dan Levy co-created Schitt's Creek with his father, leading to its global popularity after being picked up by Netflix. The second category includes projects by newly minted stars, often backed by lucrative streaming contracts. While some deals have not yielded blockbuster results, Levy's recent projects, including Good Grief and Big Mistakes, showcase his evolving career in the industry.
