Apple TV's Latest Comedy Delight

Apple TV is serving up a fresh dose of comedy starring the ever-talented Elizabeth Banks. This new series, yet to receive its official title, promises to take viewers on a whimsical journey, following Banks as she navigates life post-divorce. The show is set to delve deeper than your typical sitcom storyline – imagine coordinating retiree rendezvous! Quite the twist, isn't it?

The Creative Minds Behind the Series

Behind the scenes, the series is a brainchild of Liz Heldens and Matt Ward, with production anchored by Disney’s 20th Television. The lively narrative follows Heidi, played by Banks, as she crafts a vibrant new chapter for herself and her children. Her unexpected plunge into managing her father’s retirement community sex dates leads her into a quirky partnership with his girlfriend’s perpetually single son. Filming kicks off later this year in the bustling city of Los Angeles.

“It's not every day you hear about a comedy with 'retirement community sex dates' as a plot point. It's bound to be a showstopper!”

A Star-Studded Production Team

Joining Banks, who will also executive produce via her Brownstone Productions, are executive producers Heldens and Ward, alongside Max Handelman, Krissy Wall, Jonathan Krisel, Quinn Haberman, Jason Winer, and Jon Radler. Apple TV’s comedy slate already boasts hits like The Studio, Ted Lasso, and Shrinking – this new addition promises to be a standout.
