Freevee, Amazon’s premium free streaming service, has ordered Dinner With the Parents, adapted from Channel 4's award winning series written by Robert Popper, Friday Night Dinner, as a straight to series order from CBS Studios with Big Talk.
The following American description of the show, complete with "mom" instead of "mum" suggests that it will be the same, but different..
About Dinner With the Parents: "In this half-hour single camera comedy, two brothers in their 20s who go to their mom and dad’s for dinner each week, somehow get through it without actually, physically, dying of embarrassment. If your 54-year-old dad has ever “dabbed” while shirtless in front of your girlfriend, or your mom won’t stop bringing up that time when you had to be rushed to the pediatrician after an incident with a shampoo bottle, which is why your brother still calls you “Pert Plus,” you will relate to this show. If not, must be nice!"
There will be ten episodes and the original production team will still be involved. Executive producers will be Jon Beckerman, Kenton Allen, Matthew Justice, Robert Popper, Caroline Leddy
Casting will be revealed in due course.
EP/Showrunner: Jon Beckerman
