Netflix has officially announced the title for Dan Levy‘s upcoming family crime comedy series as Big Mistakes, and revealed a number of new cast members. The show, which is the first series from Levy’s overall deal with Netflix and his production company Not a Real Production Company, has now started production in New Jersey. The series co-stars Taylor Ortega and Laurie Metcalf alongside Levy.
“I’m so excited to be bringing this truly chaotic family story to life with Netflix,” Levy said, in a comment to Netflix’s TUDUM. “I’m 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.”
