Dan Levy signs deal to write and produce film and TV projects at Netflix

Dan Levy is returning to Netflix, the streamer that helped turn his TV comedy 'Schitt's Creek' into a pop cultural phenomenon.

The Toronto-raised "Schitt's Creek" co-creator has inked a deal with Netflix to develop scripted content and other projects for its film and TV libraries.

The streamer says the gig will start immediately with Levy's first feature project -- a romantic comedy he'll write, produce and star in.

Netflix says Levy will begin working on TV series in July 2022.

The partnership was announced Friday, almost exactly one year after "Schitt's Creek" swept the Emmy Awards with seven wins in the comedy categories.
