A Bold New Blend of Family Saga and Crime Thriller

Netflix has officially released the first trailer for Big Mistakes, the latest project from Emmy award-winning creator and actor Dan Levy. Moving away from the heartwarming small-town vibes of Schitt’s Creek, Levy’s new series is described as a high-stakes comedic family saga. The plot centers on Nicky (Levy) and Morgan (Taylor Ortega), two "deeply incapable" siblings who find themselves in way over their heads. What begins as a misguided attempt to fulfill a wish for their dying grandmother quickly spirals out of control, dragging the duo into a world of professional criminals they are laughably ill-equipped to navigate.

Creative Powerhouse and Star-Studded Cast

The series marks a significant collaboration between Dan Levy and Bottoms star Rachel Sennott. Levy serves as the creator, writer, director, and star, while Sennott takes on the roles of showrunner and executive producer. Joining Levy and Ortega on screen is a prestigious ensemble cast, including Emmy winner Laurie Metcalf, Jack Innanen, and Elizabeth Perkins. The supporting cast features a mix of veteran character actors and rising stars such as Abby Quinn, Boran Kuzum, Mark Ivanir, and Darren Goldstein, suggesting a rich world of eccentric allies and formidable antagonists.

Plot Mechanics: Failing Upwards into Organized Crime

The central conflict of the series is ignited by a stolen necklace. According to the official synopsis, the siblings’ clumsy heist accidentally pulls them into the orbit of an organized crime syndicate. Instead of finding a quick exit, Nicky and Morgan are blackmailed into increasingly dangerous assignments. The comedy stems from their ability to "clumsily fail upwards," sinking deeper into a chaotic criminal life despite their total lack of expertise. This "comedy of errors" structure allows the show to explore the dynamics of sibling rivalry and loyalty within the context of a tense thriller.
