Dan Levy Says Canada Made 'Heated Rivalry' — Just Like 'Schitt's Creek'
Dan Levy is crediting Canada for yet another hit show, drawing a bold parallel between his beloved comedy and buzzy new series 'Heated Rivalry.'
Dan Levy knows a thing or two about unlikely success stories — and he's not shy about pointing to Canada as the secret ingredient. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 'Schitt's Creek' star made the comparison while being honored at Critics Choice's LGBTQ+ celebration, noting that 'Heated Rivalry' shares something special with his Emmy-winning comedy: neither would exist without Canadian support backing them first.
'Both only exist because Canada saw value in them first,' Levy reportedly said — a statement that's equal parts gratitude and mic drop. It's a powerful reminder that some of the most celebrated LGBTQ+ storytelling on screen has been quietly nurtured north of the border before the rest of the world caught on.
Levy wasn't the only star soaking up the spotlight. The Hollywood Reporter notes he was joined at the celebration by 'Hacks' breakout Hannah Einbinder, 'Stranger Things' star Noah Schnapp, comedy legend Jane Lynch, and 'Heated Rivalry' creator Jacob Tierney. It was a full-on gathering of queer Hollywood royalty — and frankly, we wouldn't want it any other way.
