Biography
Dan Levy is a multi-hyphenate Emmy® Award-winning creator who has built his career telling vibrant and comedic stories, establishing himself as a Hollywood mainstay.
Levy is best known for his work on one of the most beloved shows on television, Schitt’s Creek, which he co-created with his father Eugene Levy. The series garnered countless awards over the years and an impressive total of 165 nominations throughout its history, including nine Emmy® wins for its sixth and final season, breaking major records by becoming the most-awarded comedy series in a single year, the first comedy or drama series to sweep all four acting categories, and receiving the most wins for a comedy series in its final season.
Levy launched a film and television production company, Not a Real Production Company, which debuted its first series, The Big Brunch, on HBO Max. Levy not only created the series but also hosted and served as a judge alongside Chef Sohla El-Waylly and restaurateur Will Guidara. Additionally, the company extended its creative partnership with Netflix with a first-look television deal with the streamer. Levy made his directorial debut with Netflix’s Good Grief, an original film that he wrote, produced, and starred in alongside Ruth Negga and Himesh Patel. The film was released in select theaters and on Netflix. Levy and his company produced Loewe’s viral sensation Decades of Confusion as well as Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery, a documentary for CBC and ABC News Studios about Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan’s 1990s all-female music festival Lilith Fair that had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Levy made history co-hosting the 76th Emmy® Awards with Eugene Levy, not only for making them the first father-son pair to host the show but also for being instrumental in having a ratings jump of over 50% from the previous year. His recent acting credits include Paramount's animated Smurfs movie alongside Rihanna, Nick Offerman, and Natasha Lyonne; Netflix’s Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story alongside Jerry Seinfeld; a guest role on the final season of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm; Season 4 of Netflix’s acclaimed dramedy Sex Education; Disney’s Haunted Mansion remake; Hulu’s holiday rom-com Happiest Season and HBO’s Coastal Elites.

Amy Adams, Murray Bartlett, Brett Goldstein, Jenny Slate, and Rainn Wilson, which had its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.
Levy’s Netflix series, Big Mistakes, an original family crime comedy series in which he co-created, stars in, executive produced, and serves as showrunner, was released globally in 2026. Laurie Metcalf and Taylor Ortega also star alongside Levy.
