Schitt’s Creek star and co-creator Dan Levy is partnering with Netflix for Good Grief, marking his characteristic directorial debut. Forged bulletins are making the rounds right this moment with phrase that Oscar nominee Ruth Negga (Preacher, Advert Astra, Loving), Himesh Patel (Yesterday, Tenet, Don’t Look Up), and Luke Evans (Dracula Untold, Magnificence and the Beast, The Alienist) will star alongside Celia Imrie (Love Sarah, Higher Issues), Arnaud Valois (Spring Blossom, Moloch), and Jamael Westman (Animals, Identicals).

Along with his function behind the digital camera, Levy wrote the script. Good Grief is Levy’s first venture for Netflix by his Not A Actual Manufacturing Firm banner.

Levy’s script for Good Grief revolves round Marc Dreyfus, a person trying to distract himself from dropping his mother with a snug marriage. Nevertheless, after Marc’s husband dies unexpectedly, it sends Marc right into a spiral of grief he’s been attempting to keep away from. Alongside two of his closest mates, Marc escapes on a Parisian weekend of self-discovery and therapeutic.

“Good Grief is a cautionary story about friendship and loss and all of the mess that comes with it when the reality is one thing you’ve evaded for many of your life. It’s humorous, it’s bittersweet, it’s a venture that has helped me work by my very own grief. And I hope it does the identical for different individuals as effectively, “ Levy stated concerning the movie.

Daniel Levy and Eugene Levy co-created Schitt’s Creek, the multi-award-winning Canadian comedy sequence a couple of well-to-do household pressured to stay in a backwater city after going bankrupt. Levy performs David Rose within the sequence, a spoiled and persnickety kind who learns the worth of real friendship, onerous work, and real love all through his time in Schitt’s Creek. Followers of the present have been ready for Levy to announce one other huge venture since Schitt’s Creek resulted in April 2020 of its personal accord.

Schitt’s Creek is certainly one of my favourite sequence ever, and I’ll see something Levy is concerned with making. I like the concept of him getting behind the digital camera for Good Grief, which appears like an emotional curler coaster. Convey it on!
