Holy Schitt, Dan Levy just announced a new family comedy series, and it sounds like the next best thing to aSchitt’s Creek revival.

During Netflix’s 2025 upfront presentation today, the streamer announced that Levy had created a yet-untitled comedy series in which he will star, showrun, and co-executive produce (alongside Rachel Sennott).

Starring along with Levy are beloved comedic actress Laurie Metcalf (The Conners) and Taylor Ortega who just starred in the Netflix series The Four Seasons.

While details remain largely under wraps Netflix did share the official logline, "Two deeply incapable siblings are blackmailed into the world of organized crime." Presumably the trio of actors will be playing mother and siblings and the set up sounds rife for the kind of comedy that Levy excels at. Honestly we’re just delighted to have him heading back to our screens.

And we’re not the only ones thrilled by the news. "I'm so excited to be bringing this truly chaotic family story to life with Netflix," Levy said in a statement. "Thrilled with the team we’re building both behind the scenes and in front of the camera. Taylor Ortega is going to become a household name and it's been my life's mission to get to call Laurie Metcalf 'mother.' Looking forward to getting to share this with everyone."

As for when we will get to see the 8-episode limited series, that’s still a bit of ways off. Production begins later this year.

Gives us plenty of time to rewatch Schitt's Creek from top to bottom… again.
