Schitt’s Creek. His first movie as director, Good Grief, will hit screens on January 5th.On X yesterday, Netflix gave a brief synopsis alongside a photo of showing Levy and Luke Evans hugging.“When Marc’s husband Oliver (Luke Evans) unexpectedly dies, his world shatters.
Sending him and two best friends on a soul-searching trip to Paris that reveals hard truths each need to face.”Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Levy corrected early press reports that called the movie a rom-com.
He said he thought of it more as a “dramedy” covering serious issues around death and grieving. It’s also about the bond between friends.“Having written 80 episodes about an actual family, I felt compelled to tell a story about found family and the importance of it,” said Levy.“I lost my grandmother toward the tail end of the pandemic, and I was in a very strange headspace in terms of feeling the weight and the profound sense of tragedy of what the COVID pandemic had done for all of us, while at the same time trying to honor the passing of someone who meant so much to me,” says Levy.
He also lost his dog around the same time.“It was hard for me to feel the specificity of loss when all I was feeling was grief for so long.
