Will there be a 'Big Mistakes' Season 2 on Netflix?

Netflix has not officially announced a second season of Big Mistakes. However, the series was created by Dan Levy with fellow actor Rachel Sennott, and Dan told People that he plans the show to run for several seasons, that is, if he gets his way. The Big Mistakes creator said that he wanted the comedy to run "seasons and seasons and seasons."

"I know how the entire show ends," said Dan. "Oh, yeah. You gotta know what you're playing with before you pitch it to somebody."

Dan added that he wanted to be inspired after leaving the show Schitt's Creek, a comedy that ran for six seasons.

"When I left Schitt's, I really wanted to make sure that the next thing I did in TV gave me that same sense of inspiration and passion and excitement and love and affection for the people I was working with," he said, adding that he's proud of the cast of the Netflix show. "I love these people so much. I'm so proud of this cast and crew. People are working at, like, 110 percent. All I did was set the table for these people, and they ate."

Dan added that making Big Mistakes was a "really, really special experience." The actor also noted that he wants "to tell this story for seasons and seasons and seasons." He said that after Schitt's Creek ended, he wanted to work on another project that was worthy, per The Hollywood Reporter.

“Well, a lot of time had to pass,” Dan said of the end of Schitt's Creek, which he created with his father, Eugene Levy. “When the show ended, there was this immediate conversation of, like, ‘What are you doing next?’ God forbid I nap. For me, it was like, I needed to take a minute, because I knew what the show meant to me, and I knew what it meant to other people."

"And having a show of your own, you’re so proud of what you make and if you’re lucky enough to get, in our case, six seasons of a TV show, you walk away from that really proud of what you’ve done," he added. "To jump into something else, it almost does the new project a disservice because you’re constantly going to be comparing it to the one that came before. So, I needed the dust to settle.”

Big Mistakes is a hilarious show with a superb cast, and it would seem that Dan has another mega hit on his hands.
