Summary
Dan Levy discusses his return to television with the series 'Big Mistakes', co-created with Rachel Sennott. After the end of 'Schitt's Creek' in 2020, Levy made his directorial film debut with 'Good Grief', hosted 'The Big Brunch', and co-starred on 'The Idol'. He emphasizes creating projects that excite him personally rather than simply producing content for its own sake, and explores why he was drawn back to sibling dynamics in his new show.
