Schitt’s Creek mastermind and star Dan Levy is gearing up to take his creativity over to ABC Studios.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dan Levy (best known these days for being the co-creator, showrunner, and one of the stars on Schitt’s Creek), has just signed a three-year overall deal with ABC Studios.
The deal is a huge get for the Disney owned company — especially given that Levy has been in such high demand. In fact, it’s being reported that ABC Studios won the battle out of multiple outlets who were also in the bidding war to secure Levy’s talents.
Additionally, we’re sure fans of Levy’s work will be particularly excited to hear he’s found a home at which to develop new projects — especially given that the ever-popular Schitt’s Creek is set to premiere its final season this coming January on Pop TV.
The newly inked multi-year deal will find Levy developing and producing original scripted projects for ABC Studios, and there’s no denying that the company is excited to have him on board.
In a statement announcing the new partnership, ABC Studios president Jonnie Davis said: “Dan Levy has proven himself as one of the most creative people in the TV business. His writing, acting, and producing skills will be a tremendous asset to ABC Studios, and we couldn’t be more excited to be in business with him.”
Levy himself also weighed on on the exciting news in a statement that teased his plans for what’s to come as part of the new exclusive deal.
“I’m thrilled to be partnering with ABC studios in this exciting next chapter. As I say a bittersweet goodbye to Schitt’s Creek, I look forward to the opportunity and privilege to continue to tell inclusive and meaningful stories that shine a positive light out there,” said Levy in a statement.
Additionally, Dan Levy also took to Twitter to share the good news with fans far and wide, tweeting: “*slaps himself across the face* VERY excited about what’s to come over the next three years.”
We can’t wait to see what Dan Levy creates next!
