Dan Levy, the co-creator of Schitt’s Creek, is back with a new Netflix show called Big Mistakes. All eight episodes landed on the streaming service on April 9, 2026. The show follows two siblings, Nicky and Morgan, who try to steal a necklace for their dying grandmother.
The plan goes wrong fast. They end up pulling themselves into the messy world of organized crime. The cast includes Levy himself, Taylor Ortega, Laurie Metcalf, and Elizabeth Perkins.
The music in the show is a big part of what makes it work. It mixes classic pop songs with a raw electronic score from Peaches, the Canadian musician. Who Made the Music for Big Mistakes?
Dan Levy went straight to Peaches to handle the music. He wanted someone bold and unexpected. Peaches, whose real name is Merrill Nisker, had never scored a TV show before.
But Levy felt sure about his choice. “She was the only person I wanted,” he said. Peaches worked with composer Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum on the score.
Kroll-Rosenbaum has worked on shows like What If…? and Marvel Zombies. The two of them created the anxious and pulsing sound you hear throughout the series. Levy described what they made as singular.
The score fits the show’s mix of comedy and thriller elements perfectly. Every Song in Season One The show uses a lot of popular songs to set the mood. The beats are often upbeat.
But the moments on screen are stressful or strange. That contrast is where a lot of the comedy comes from. Here is the full list of songs you will hear in Big Mistakes season one.
‘Firework’ – Katy Perry ‘Sick In the Head’ – Peaches ‘Riot Rhythm’ – Sleigh Bells ‘River Deep, Mountain High’ – Céline Dion ‘Karadan’ – Naskas ‘Love Kills’ – Robyn ‘Kitchen’ – 504icygrl ‘Bubble Butt’ – Major Lazer, Bruno Mars, Tyga, Mystic ‘Paradise’ – Jeremih ‘Don’t Say You’re Sorry’ – Johnny Amoroso ‘Fuck the Pain Away’ – Peaches ‘Rest (Gönder Gelsin)’ – Ramiz ‘A Wiener Helal’ – EsRAP ‘Shooting Star’ – Carly Rae Jepsen ‘Gosh’ – Jamie xx, MC Moose ‘Searching for Someone’ – Quiz ‘NAILS’ – Noga Erez ‘Around You (Embolex Remix)’ – Luisa Maita, Embolex ‘Se Va (feat. Cumbiafrica)’ – Tom & Collins, Cumbiafrica ‘Salsa’ – Gianni Blu ‘Time of Our Lives’ – Pitbull, Ne-Yo ‘Onde Nasce Todo Axé’ – Saulo Duarte, Aldo Sena ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ – Kay Starr ‘Too Lovely To Forget’ – Connie Conway ‘Oh!
Look At Me Now’ – Frank Sinatra The Original Soundtrack Album If you liked the sound of the show, you can listen to the official soundtrack album. Netflix Music released the album on all major streaming platforms. It includes the original music written by Peaches and Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum.
Big Mistakes is a chaotic and darkly funny show. The soundtrack is a big reason why it works. It knows when to be quiet and when to blast a Katy Perry song during a tense crime scene.
If you are a fan of Levy’s work or just like a good soundtrack, this one is worth your time. Courtresy: NME
