Dan Levy is one of the most highly sought-after actors working in comedy today. Coming off the massive success of Schitt’s Creek, the actor has appeared in Happiest Season, a romantic comedy starring Kristen Stewart, and Netflix’s Q-Force, a series about a handsome secret agent and his team of LGBTQ super-spies. In 2021, Levy hosted Saturday Night Live, which garnered a Primetime Emmy nomination for his performance. Throughout the run of Schitt’s Creek, Levy, who played David Rose, received five Emmy nominations and won four of them, including Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Comedy Series.

According to reports from Collider, Julian Doucet, creator of Prime Video’s The Lake, says he would love to see a crossover with Schitt’s Creek.

Doucet is correct that it wouldn’t be challenging to explain the worlds colliding between The Lake and Schitt’s Creek. The Prime Video series is set in a small town in Ontario, Canada, the same as Schitt’s Creek. So the possibility of the characters running into each other wouldn’t be unrealistic but likely. In addition to Levy joining the cast, Doucet shared his interest in Sissy Spacek (Castle Rock), Patricia Clarkson (House of Cards), Olivia Coleman (Fleabag), and Goldie Hawn (The First Wives Club) as his “dream” guest stars.

“We could bring any of the cast of Schitt’s Creek. That would be beyond. David (Dan Levy) could be a Justin rival. This lake is probably in the same world as the Rosebud Motel. They’re probably just a few towns over from each other.”

With Doucet eager to work with the cast of Schitt’s Creek, it’s up to Levy and company to decide whether they want to make their way to The Lake.

The Lake is Now Streaming on Prime Video

On June 17th, the entirety of The Lake debuted on Prime Video, giving audiences a new comedy to enjoy. The series stars Jordan Gavaris as Justin, a newly single gay man, as he returns from living abroad in the hope of reconnecting with his biological daughter, Billie (Madison Shamoun), whom he gave up for adoption. But unfortunately, his plans go awry when he finds out his father left the family cottage to his stepsister, Maisy-May (Julia Stiles.)

Joining the three stars of The Lake is Terry Chen, Jared Scott, Travis Nelson, Natalie Lisinska, Jon Dore, Carolyn Scott, and Declan Whaley. Julian Doucet wrote three episodes for the series and executive produced all eight. A second season of The Lake has not been announced; however, the crew is preparing for the eventual renewal. The first season is now streaming on Prime Video, with all six seasons of Schitt’s Creek available on Netflix.
