Netflix's comedy series Big Mistakes has begun production on its second season, with two recurring cast members joining the show. Poorna Jagannathan has been cast as Dréa and Lorenzo De Moor as Leo, the streamer announced, as filming gets under way in New Jersey. The series, created by Dan Levy and Rachel Sennott, follows two inept siblings dragged into organised crime after a botched theft, and the new season sees returning stars alongside an expanded role for Elizabeth Perkins.
Series regulars returning for Season 2 include Levy, Taylor Ortega, Laurie Metcalf, Jack Innanen, Boran Kuzum and Abby Quinn, with Perkins now upgraded to a full series regular having previously held a smaller role. Levy, who also serves as showrunner, executive produces alongside Sennott, Anne-Marie McGintee, Jacqui Rivera and Timothy Greenberg. The show centres on Nicky and Morgan, played by Levy and Ortega, whose misguided attempt to steal for their dying grandmother pulls them into escalating, blackmail-driven criminal schemes.

Netflix's Big Mistakes is a comedy series that has now started shooting its second season. The show, created by Dan Levy and Rachel Sennott, follows two bumbling siblings who end up entangled with organised crime after a theft goes wrong, with Levy and Taylor Ortega playing the leads, a brother and sister trying to help their dying grandmother.
The first season built a supporting cast around the pair, including Laurie Metcalf, Jack Innanen, Boran Kuzum and Abby Quinn, alongside Elizabeth Perkins, who had a smaller part but has now been made a full series regular. Levy also acts as showrunner and executive producer, working alongside Sennott and fellow producers Anne-Marie McGintee, Jacqui Rivera and Timothy Greenberg.
The story around this update centres on the show's growth, with production moving to New Jersey and two new recurring cast members, Poorna Jagannathan and Lorenzo De Moor, joining as characters Dréa and Leo. This matters mainly to fans of the series and the streaming industry more broadly, as it signals confidence from Netflix in a comedy that is expanding its cast and scope for a second run.
