Apple TV today announced a new half-hour series led by four-time Emmy Award-nominee Elizabeth Banks (The Miniature Wife, The Better Sister), from creators Liz Heldens (Will Trent, Friday Light Nights) and Matt Ward (The Big Leap, Best Medicine). The currently untitled series will begin production in Los Angeles this year.
The synopsis reads, “Fresh off a messy divorce, Heidi sets out to secure a lively second act for herself and her kids. But when she stumbles into coordinating her father’s retirement community sex dates, Heidi is forced into an unlikely alliance with his girlfriend’s perpetually single son.”
The new series will be showrun and executive produced by Heldens and Ward. Elizabeth Banks executive produces alongside Max Handelman (Cocaine Bear, Pitch Perfect) and Krissy Wall (Cocaine Bear: The True Story, Six Little McGhees). Jonathan Krisel (Adults, English Teacher) will direct the pilot and serve as executive producer. Quinn Haberman (Will Trent, The Big Leap) executive produces alongside Heldens for Selfish Mermaid, and Jason Winer and Jon Radler will executive produce for Small Dog Picture Company (Vladimir, The Santa Clauses).
