Schitt’s Creek’s Dan Levy to star in a new animated TV series for Hulu
Happiest Season’s Dan Levy is set to star in the new animated comedy Standing By. According to Variety, the Hulu series is set to follow the lives of “a group of eternally bound, disgruntled guardian angels” and the lessons they learn from humans and their own dysfunctional friendship.
In addition to Levy’s casting, David Tennant, Natalie Palamides, Glenn Close, Poppu Lou, and Samira Wiley have also joined the cast in undisclosed roles.
In a joint statement, Levy and the show’s co-creator Ally Pankiw opened up about what viewers can expect from the series. “Standing By is about the hilarity, embarrassment, and melodrama of everyday life as observed by a team of judgemental, gossip-starved angels,” they said. “We are very excited to bring this world to life with the help of Hulu, 20th Televison Animation, and Bento Box Entertainment.
Not to mention an insanely brilliant cast of actors.” Standing By is one of many projects that Levy is connected to. Back in October, Deadline reported that the Emmy winner would be making his directorial debut with the upcoming rom-com Good Grief.
