From Roses to Rogues
Dan Levy’s back with a brand-new TV family that’ll make you forget all about the Roses! Netflix just dropped the bombshell at their 2025 upfront.
The Schitt’s Creek genius isn’t just starring—he’s co-creating, executive producing, and running the whole darn show himself. Talk about wearing all the hats!
Partners in Crime
Taylor Ortega and comedy legend Laurie Metcalf are joining the madness. The show’s premise?
Two totally hopeless siblings get blackmailed into organized crime. Yikes!
Based on Levy’s comments, he and Ortega will play the siblings while Metcalf takes on the mom role.
Honestly, who wouldn’t want Laurie Metcalf as their TV mom?
Behind Dan’s Excitement
“I’m so excited to bring this truly chaotic family story to life with Netflix,” Levy gushed in his statement.
He’s particularly stoked about working with Ortega, who he swears will become a household name.
And calling Laurie Metcalf “mother” has apparently been his lifelong dream—can you blame him?
The Creative Dream Team
Rachel Sennott, Levy’s co-star from The Idol, is co-creating and executive producing.
You might know her from Bodies Bodies Bodies and Bottoms.
The show’s coming from Levy’s hilariously named Not a Real Production Company, which recently gave us his directorial debut Good Grief.
When Can We Watch?
Production kicks off later this year with eight juicy episodes planned.
While this is Levy’s first created series since Schitt’s Creek wrapped in 2020, he’s been crazy busy—Sex Education, The Idol, Q-Force, Haunted Mansion, and even hosting the Emmys! This guy seriously never stops!
What Makes This Special
The combo of Levy’s quirky humor and a crime setting feels fresh and unexpected.
With this powerhouse cast and Levy’s proven track record for creating lovable dysfunctional families, Netflix might have their next big hit.
Who knew blackmail and organized crime could be the perfect setup for family comedy?
