Big Mistakes Season 2 Adds Lorenzo de Moor and Poorna Jagannathan as Production Begins in New Jersey

Big Mistakes is coming back for Season 2. Netflix confirmed filming has started in New Jersey and announced two new cast additions: Lorenzo de Moor, who will play Leo, and Poorna Jagannathan, who will play Dréa. Netflix is keeping both characters' roles in the story under wraps.

What the show is about and who's returning

• Lorenzo de Moor: Credited appearances include You, Me & Tuscany, Another Simple Favor and Dolce Fine Giornata. Upcoming projects listed in reports include Maserati: The Brothers and a Cliffhanger reboot.

• Poorna Jagannathan: Currently appears in HBO and DC Studios' Lanterns, recently played Lucky in Hulu's Deli Boys, and is known for her role as Nalini Vishwakumar on Never Have I Ever.

Both join a cast described as already familiar with "spectacularly bad decisions," a shorthand for the show's black-comedy tone where characters repeatedly fail upward.

Creative leadership and Netflix deal

Dan Levy created Big Mistakes and continues as showrunner, executive producer and star. Rachel Sennott co-created the series and executive produces along with Anne-Marie McGintee, Jacqui Rivera and Timothy Greenberg. Netflix extended its creative partnership with Levy through a first-look deal when it renewed the show. Levy is quoted expressing gratitude and excitement for Season 2, calling it "already in the works" and promising it will be "wild."

Production status and what to expect

Filming for Season 2 is underway in New Jersey. Specific plot details about the new characters Leo and Dréa have not been disclosed, including whether they will complicate or attempt to resolve the siblings' criminal entanglements. Given Season 1's trajectory—blackmail, risky tasks and escalating stakes—casting additions suggest writers plan to expand the world and introduce new trouble or temporary allies.

If you watched Season 1 for dark comedy and chaotic missteps, the core premise and returning leads remain intact. The promotion of Elizabeth Perkins to series regular signals a larger role for her character Annette in the new season. The addition of two recognizable actors with recent and upcoming projects points to an expanded ensemble and potential new storylines tied into the show's crime-comedy mix.

Release timing, episode count and character motivations for Leo and Dréa were not disclosed. Netflix and showrunners have kept plot specifics private while production continues in New Jersey.

Big Mistakes is back in production with new cast members Lorenzo de Moor and Poorna Jagannathan joining a returning ensemble led by Dan Levy. Expect more of the series' blend of comedy and criminal misadventure, with an expanded cast and Elizabeth Perkins stepping into a larger role.
