[The below contains minor spoilers for Netflix film Good Grief.]
As a publicist, Megan Zehmer helped navigate Schitt’s Creek’s rise from beloved CBC comedy to streaming juggernaut that eventually won seven Primetime Emmys for its final season in 2020.
Some two years on from that awards show, Zehmer found herself after hours at the Musee de L’Orangerie on a location scout in Paris for Levy’s directorial debut, Good Grief, which was also Zehmer’s first film as a producer. Remembers Zehmer of the moment, “I was thinking: My god, I first met Dan at some random building in downtown L.A., and there was a man in the office next to us clipping his toenails, and now we’re sitting in L’Orangerie by ourselves for this movie that we’re making.”

Schitt’s Creek was a certified cultural phenomenon, earning critical raves, nine Emmy Awards during its final season and massive ratings for Netflix when it migrated to the streamer from its original home at Pop TV. The series also delivered a curious situation for co-creator, show runner and star Dan Levy when he brought a follow-up project to Netflix in the form of a dramatic feature film debut called Good Grief.
“This movie came to be when I was experiencing some loss and some grief in my own life and was asking a lot of questions and didn’t know what to make of those feelings,” Levy explained Tuesday at the premiere of the film at Hollywood’s Egyptian Theatre. (Though he didn’t mention it on stage, Levy lost his grandmother during the pandemic.) “When you’re a writer, sometimes all you can do is put pen to paper and hope that something happens,...

Dan Levy, helped along by friends, confronts personal loss and grief he’d been trying to evade in the trailer for Netflix’s Good Grief, which the Schitt’s Creek co-creator wrote, directs and stars in.
Levy plays Marc Dreyfus, whose contented life in London after the loss of his mother with his larger-than-life husband, Oliver, played by Luke Evans, ends when Oliver unexpectedly dies. As Marc’s world shatters, he and his two best friends, played by Ruth Negga and Himesh Patel, go on a weekend of self-discovery in Paris to reveal hard truths they each needed to face.
“My husband officially died a year ago today. For such a meticulous person, he left behind one hell of a mess,” an anguished Marc announces at one point in the trailer.

Fasion designer and entertainer Isaac Mizrahi did not hesitate to cast Dan Levy in a potential biopic based on his memoir, “I.M,” when “30 Rock” actres Sherri Shepherd asked him on her daytime talk show.
I really want someone to do a biopic of your life because it’s so interesting,” said Shepherd, who has recently appeared as Senator Evette Chase in HBO’s “The Sex Lives of College Girls.”
Mizrahi ran with the suggestion, responding, “Me too. My memoir. I am a memoir. I wrote a memoir.”

“Schitt’s Creek” may be over, but the partnership between Dan Levy and Netflix is just getting started. Levy is set to make his directorial debut on “Good Grief,” a new original film produced by the streaming giant and Levy’s Not a Real Production Company. The movie, which Levy also wrote, tells the story of a gay man working through his grief over the death of his mother. While this will be Levy’s first feature film behind the camera, he’s certainly no stranger to the art form, as he won Emmys for both his writing and directing on “Schitt’s Creek.”

“Schitt’s Creek” star Dan Levy has launched a new production company — Not A Real Production Company — with longtime publicist Megan Zehmer, who has been tapped as president of film and television.
The venture comes amid Levy’s overall TV and film deal with Netflix, which was announced back in September and is set to begin this month as his deal with ABC Signature ends. The Emmy winner will be producing and writing scripted content and other creative projects for the streamer.
