Dan levy confesses emmys anxiety, unveils new netflix series
Before stepping into a podcast studio, Dan Levy admitted to a near-panic attack triggered by the prospect of an interview – a moment requiring a beta-blocker just an hour and a half before hosting the Emmys. The revelation, shared on The Run-Through's latest episode, illuminates a rarely seen vulnerability from the comedic mastermind, and sets the stage for his latest venture.
A familiar family story, a criminal twist
Levy is currently promoting Big Mistakes, his new Netflix comedy series co-created with Rachel Sennott, slated for release on April 9th. The pair, who first connected while working on The Idol, have crafted a narrative echoing the charm of Schitt’s Creek, but with a decidedly darker edge. This time, the focus shifts to two siblings who find themselves entangled in the complex world of organized crime. “Committing to an idea that you feel excited to tell in a long-form format is an intense thing,” Levy confessed, adding a touch of wry humor to his anxieties with the admission of a “very irrational fear of being blackmailed into organized crime.”
Beyond the anxieties of creation, Levy’s evolving personal style also provided a rich point of discussion. The Toronto native, once a devotee of Club Monaco, now counts fashion luminaries like Jonathan Anderson and Michael Rider among his friends. It’s a stark contrast to his teenage shopping habits, a testament to a creative journey continually reshaping his aesthetic.
Vogue vintage market & mulberry's new direction
Elsewhere on the The Run-Through, Chioma Nnadi and Laura Ingham offered a glimpse into the success of Vogue Vintage Market, a weekend event co-hosted by Alexa Chung and Lila Moss that raised funds for the UK-based charity Give Your Best. The conversation quickly pivoted to their April cover star, Olivia Rodrigo, before delivering a significant announcement: Christopher Kane will soon assume the role of creative director at Mulberry. The move signals a fresh chapter for the British heritage brand, promising a potentially bold new direction under Kane’s influence.
Levy’s candor about his anxieties, coupled with the news of Kane’s appointment at Mulberry, underscores a moment of dynamic change within both the creative and fashion landscapes. It’s a reminder that even the most accomplished individuals grapple with vulnerability, while established brands constantly evolve to meet new challenges.
