Netflix also revealed that it has expanded its partnership with creator, showrunner, executive producer, and star Dan Levy through a new first-look series deal.
This dark comedy follows two completely unqualified brothers, Nicky and Morgan, whose tragic choices accidentally lead them into organized crime. Levy teased that season 2 is already in the works and promised that the next chapter will be even more chaotic.
The series has already become a standout for queer viewers thanks to Levy’s signature humor, dysfunctional family relationships, and layered ensemble cast.
