Amazon Freevee to premiere new comedy series ‘Dinner with the Parents’ on 18 April
The series features an all-star cast including Michaela Watkins, Dan Bakkedahl, Carol Kane, Henry Hall, Daniel Thrasher, and Jon Glaser
Today, Amazon Freevee announced the official 18 April premiere date and released the trailer for the new single-camera comedy series, Dinner with the Parents. The show is a comedy about a weekly family get-together that always devolves into chaos and fiasco. Every Friday evening, the closely-knit Langers prove that it takes those we love best to bring out our worst. On tonight's menu; lies, betrayals, pranks, schemes, unwelcome neighbours, childhood crushes, at least one felony, many very bad decisions, and a scrumptious, freshly-baked apple crisp. The first four episodes of Dinner with the Parents will be available to stream exclusively on Amazon Freevee in the U.S. beginning on Thursday 18 April, with two additional episodes available each following Thursday until the finale on 9 May.
Dinner with the Parents stars Michaela Watkins (Tiny Beautiful Things, Casual) as Jane, Dan Bakkedahl (Veep) as Harvey, Carol Kane (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Hunters) as Rose/Nanna, Henry Hall (Curb Your Enthusiasm) as David, Daniel Thrasher (YouTube @DanielThrasher) as Gregg, and Jon Glaser (Life and Beth) as Donnie. The show is based on the U.K.’s Channel 4 award-winning series Friday Night Dinner, which has been cemented as one of Channel 4’s most successful comedies following record-breaking viewing figures.
The series is produced by CBS Studios with Big Talk Studios. Jon Beckerman serves as showrunner and executive producer. The series is also executive produced by Kenton Allen and Saurabh Kakkar from Big Talk Studios, as well as Matthew Justice, Robert Popper, Caroline Leddy, and Tristram Shapeero.
