Dan Levy’s Shocking Return: New Series Soars to #2 on Netflix U.S. in Just 48 Hours
After years away from television since the end of Schitt’s Creek, Dan Levy has officially made his comeback—and he’s already creating a major buzz. His new Netflix crime-comedy series has quickly captured attention, climbing to the #2 spot in the United States just 48 hours after release.
The show has not only become a viewing hit, but also earned strong critical praise with an impressive 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the highest-rated titles currently streaming on the platform.
Dan Levy Plays a Pastor Dragged Into the Criminal Underworld
In the series, Dan Levy stars as Nicky—a tightly wound and private gay pastor whose peaceful life is suddenly turned upside down after he is blackmailed into the dangerous world of organized crime.
Things spiral even further when Nicky is forced to team up with his reckless and unpredictable sister Morgan, played by Taylor Ortega. From there, the story unfolds into a chaotic blend of crime, family dysfunction, and razor-sharp dark comedy.
Laurie Metcalf Emerges as the Breakout Star
Although Dan Levy is the central figure, many critics say the true scene-stealer is Laurie Metcalf as Linda—the family’s volatile, unpredictable, and larger-than-life mother.
Her performance is already being hailed as one of the most electric roles currently streaming on Netflix, balancing outrageous comedy with emotional depth.

All eight episodes are now available, and audiences are racing through the season to see just how far this outrageous family saga will go.
With its rapid rise in the charts, rave reviews, and standout cast performances, Dan Levy’s latest project is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about shows of the year.
This comeback proves that Levy is not only stepping out from the shadow of Schitt’s Creek, but also launching a bold and surprising new chapter in his television career.
