Here is a guide to everything that Dan Levy has done since the critically acclaimed Schitt's Creek ended. The renowned comedy series followed the story of the Roses, a wealthy family displaced by their financial planner's indiscretions who find themselves living in a run-down motel in the titular town. The show, which initially premiered on Pop TV, found huge success when it started streaming on Netflix in 2017. The show was something of a family project for Levy; he co-created it with his father, Eugene Levy, and co-starred with his dad and sister, Sarah Levy. Schitt's Creek ended after 6 seasons, and fans were left wondering what Levy would be working on next.
With such a talented family, it's no surprise that Levy has found remarkable success as an actor, director, producer, and writer. Before creating Schitt's Creek, the Canadian appeared in a number of projects including Degrassi: The Next Generation, Admission, and Stage Fright.
Since the completion of his comedy series, Levy has certainly been busy. Between a brief appearance in an M&Ms commercial and being voted People's Sexiest Man Alive in 2020, he has worked on a number of projects. Here is everything Levy has done since Schitt's Creek.
Hosted Saturday Night Live
In February of 2021, Levy hosted an episode of season 46 of SNL. He hilariously entertained the audience with quips about the pandemic while being battered with a six-foot pool noodle. He also joked about his newfound fame following the success of Schitt's Creek. Levy's father even made a cameo, appearing trapped in an isolation box after flying in to watch his son host the show. The episode was a big hit, and Levy was even credited with starting the tradition of leaving a note for the next host, but he later debunked the theory.
Q-Force
Q-Force is an adult animated Netflix series about a gay secret agent and his team of LGBTQ spies. Levy voices Chasten Barkley, the millionaire founder of Honestly?, a company that makes sustainable cosmetics. An old friend of Steve "Mary" Maryweather (Sean Hayes), Levy's character first appears in Q-Force, season 1, episode 5, "WeHo Confidential," and then returns in episode 6, "The Secretaries' Ball." The series received mild praise, and word is still out on if there will be a season 2 and whether or not Levy will be involved.
Happiest Season
Levy costars as John in Happiest Season, the story of a lesbian couple, Abigail (Kristen Stewart) and Harper (Mackenzie Davis), who visit Harper's family for Christmas. The catch is that her family is completely unaware that either of the young women are gay. Levy's character is Abigail's supportive best friend who goes so far as to turn up at the family's home and pretend to be her ex-boyfriend despite his character being gay as well. The cast of Happiest Season also includes other notable actors like Alison Brie, Mary Steenburgen, Victor Garber, and Aubrey Plaza, all of whom contribute to a hilariously heartfelt holiday comedy.
New Netflix Deal
Levy has also signed a deal with Netflix to work on both TV and movies. His role at the streaming giant appears to be multifaceted with his first project being an untitled romantic comedy which he will write, produce, direct, and star in. The partnership seems natural after Netflix provided Levy's takeoff show with its most fruitful home. As the unbridled potential of Netflix's resources combines with Levy's creative genius, audiences have a lot to look forward to from the Schitt's Creek creator.
