Note: This story contains spoilers from \u201cBig Mistakes\u201d Season 1, Episode 8.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dan Levy’s “Big Mistakes” leaves off with a curve ball for Taylor Ortega’s Morgan as she learns she might not know the family she’s marrying into as well as she thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Season 1 finale of “Big Mistakes” sees Morgan’s almost mother-in-law, Annette (Elizabeth Perkins) drop a bombshell on Morgan as she reveals she is behind the crime syndicate that’s been making her and Nicky’s life a living hell since she swiped that $75,000 necklace. It all comes full circle as Annette puts the necklace on Morgan before threatening to kill her should she compromise the safety of her son again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reveal, which was concocted by co-creators Levy and Rachel Sennott, “rocket-booster[s]” the show into “a whole new world,” with Levy noting, “we were dealing with a Russian criminal organization [and] now we’re getting into Italian Mob stuff. I think it’ll be a fresh new season come Season 2, if and when we get that I’m just so excited to play with,” Levy said.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\t\t\tWhy Dan Levy Chose Crime Comedy 'Big Mistakes' as His Big TV Return After 'Schitt's Creek'<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Levy applauded Perkins for being a “gorgeous villain,” joking that “she scared [him] to death when she was shooting it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I remember being behind the monitor during that whole last scene … all of us were crowding around like mouths agape, watching this turn, and she played it so beautifully … because Elizabeth is like the greatest, loveliest, sweetest, kindest,” Levy said. “In that moment … I was aware that not just … the character of Morgan, but also the actress Taylor, was like, ‘What the f–k is going on here?’ Genuine terror. And also she’s such a great foil for Linda that I can’t wait to just see more of those two as we continue to tell the story.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With “Big Mistakes” marking his big return to TV after “Schitt’s Creek,” Levy envisions the crime comedy running for several seasons, revealing his hopes for a five-season arc and that he already has the final image in his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I know exactly where it’s going, and so I really hope people watch it so that we can keep telling these stories, because there’s a lot more to come,” Levy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Big Mistakes” is now streaming on Netflix.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
