Dan Levy has signed a new deal with Netflix to create television and film projects ( Read more... )
Looks like he wanted more money after the emmys last year but ABC said no because he hasn’t actually generated anything yet (lol, after over a year)
“The Emmy-winning creator found himself at the center of a multiple-outlet bidding war in late 2019, ahead of the sixth and final season of the Pop TV favorite. Netflix heavily pursued a deal with Levy at the time after the streamer’s deal for Schitt’s Creek helped catapult the series to a broader audience and, ultimately, an Emmys sweep for its final season. Levy, who was also pursued by Warner Bros. TV and Disney’s 20th Television, ultimately opted to ink a three-year overall deal with ABC Signature in September 2019 that sources at the time said was valued at $2 million a year.
Levy and his team, after the historic Schitt’s Creek Emmys haul, are said to have asked ABC Signature executives to renegotiate the deal to better reflect his value as a multiple Emmy winner while also extending the length of the pact. The studio, per sources, declined to renegotiate or talk extensions as Levy was only a year into a three-year deal that, thus far, has only resulted in a presentation for an animated comedy at Hulu. Sources say Levy spent the first five months of his ABC pact wrapping Schitt’s Creek before turning his attention to developing for Disney.“
