Edison Hardware Store Stars In New Netflix Series, And Is Throwing A Watch Party

EDISON, NJ — A Netflix comedy series filmed partly at an Edison hardware store is set to debut next week — and the store is throwing a watch party to celebrate.

"Big Mistakes," created by four-time Emmy winner Dan Levy and co-creator Rachel Sennott, premieres April 9 on Netflix. Edison Millwork & Hardware on Old Post Road will host a watch party on Saturday, April 11 at 6:30 p.m.

Production crews filmed at the family-owned store last August, with filming scheduled to run through early October in the area. The store has been serving the Edison community for nearly 50 years.

The series follows two deeply incapable siblings who are blackmailed into the world of organized crime. Levy stars alongside Taylor Ortega in the lead roles. Ortega, a writer and actor, was born in Cranbury, NJ.

Levy, best known for his work on "Schitt's Creek," won four Emmy Awards in 2020 for writing, producing, directing and acting in the acclaimed comedy series.

"Big Mistakes" premieres April 9 on Netflix. The watch party at Edison Millwork & Hardware, located at Old Post Road, begins at 6:30 p.m. April 11.
