Netflix is shelling out even more money for content, and signing with another A-lister! This time it's "Schitt's Creek" co-creator and star Dan Levy! The super talented son of Eugene Levy just signed a multi-year deal with Netflix reportedly with an eight figure price tag!
Well it's no wonder, "Schitt's Creek" has been a massive hit for the streamer. The Canadian sit-com gained a cult following while it aired on CBC Television in Canada, and here in the states on Pop TV. But it's popularity exploded when it made the move over to Netflix last October.
Variety is reporting that Dan Levy will create new content for Netflix including movies right away, and starting next year when his deal with ABC Signature ends, he'll begin working on some new TV series. First up Dan will write, direct and star in a romantic comedy.
You may remember, speaking after the "Schitt's Creek" series finale, Dan talked about the possibility of a "Schitt's Creek" movie. He said, "To be honest this is the best way we could have ever ended the show. If there is an idea that pops into my head it has to be really freaking good because this is a nice way to say goodbye. Fingers crossed we get a nice idea popping into our head soon. I would love to work with these people again."
Let's hope some great ideas start popping into his head, and he gets to work on a film to bring us back to that crazy town!
