Dan Levy has joined the cast of “Sex Education” for the upcoming fourth season.
Netflix revealed on Friday that the actor, 39, will play author and teacher Thomas Molloy in the hit British comedy-drama.
The character of the “Degrassi” alum will tutor Maeve (Emma Mackey) on the show in an elite course in the United States at Cavendish Sixth Form College.
Levy shared a still from the set via Instagram, calling his new role “VERY serious news.”
Noah Reid, who played Levy’s husband in “Schitt’s Creek,” called his former co-star “Mr. Molly’ in the comments.
As for the screenwriter’s sister, Sarah Levy, she commented on the social media upload with multiple clapping emojis.
This new role comes two years after Dan completed the final season of “Schitt’s Creek,” which he co-created in 2013. He also starred on the show, playing David Rose for six seasons until the Emmy-winning show’s finale in April 2020.
The producer “cryed for five hours straight” while filming the final episode, he told GQ in a November 2019 interview.
“It was really really hard,” Dan said, calling the last day one of the most “emotional” of his entire life.
“I had a splitting headache and didn’t know what to do with my life,” he added at the time. “I cried when I took off David’s shoes. I will never wear those shoes again – and I don’t want to – but I was very sorry to take them off.”
Since the last episode of “Schitt’s Creek” aired, Dan has had roles in “Happiest Season” and “Coastal Elites”.
The comedian also presented “Saturday Night Live” in February 2021.
