A new comedy series titled Unstable will be coming to Netflix and we’ve created a guide of all the important information about the show to share with you.
Unstable was first announced in April with Netflix revealing that it had greenlit a scripted comedy series created by Rob Lowe, his son John Owen Lowe, and Victor Fresco. It was inspired by Rob and John’s social media relationship. John is known for humorously trolling his dad on social media about some of his photos on Instagram, which would often go viral.
Netflix was proud to take on this series with the streamer saying, “We are very excited to be working with Victor, Rob and John Owen,” Netflix Head of Comedy Tracey Pakosta said in a statement. “The three of them — and their wildly funny, smart sensibilities — are a perfect fit for our growing slate of scripted comedies.”
The Lowes, Fresco, and Marc Buckland are executive producing, but a head writer and director have not been revealed yet. Continue reading to find out everything else you need to know about Unstable!
Unstable cast
When the comedy series was greenlit, only Rob Lowe and John Owen Lowe were announced to be starring in the series. They will play the show’s main characters and share a father and son relationship.
On June 15, Netflix announced seven new cast members and you might recognize some of them.
Here’s the cast list via the Netflix press release below:
- Rob Lowe as Ellis – The CEO of a successful biotech company.
- John Owen Lowe as Jackson – A socially challenged young man who goes to work for his father, Ellis.
- Sian Clifford as Anna – The CFO of Ellis’s company. She’s strong, opinionated, and very loyal to her boss, Ellis.
- Rachel Marsh as Luna – A shy and awkward biotech engineer who enjoys working with her friend and research partner, Ruby.
- Emma Ferreira as Ruby – An outgoing and friendly biotech genius.
- Aaron Branch as Malcolm – Malcolm is a longtime friend of Jackson and the project manager for the game-changing venture the biotech company has been working on.
- Fred Armisen as Leslie – Leslie is Ellis’s board-appointed therapist.
- Tom Allen as TJ and JT Parr as Chaz – They are not very bright brothers and Ellis’s enemies. TJ and Chaz only got their board positions because their wealthy father helped fund Ellis’s company.
Unstable synopsis
We shared the official synopsis via Variety below:
The show follows an introverted son (John Owen Lowe) who goes to work for his very successful, wildly eccentric father (Rob Lowe) in order to save him and his successful biotech company from disaster.
Unstable release updates
Netflix has not announced the official release date yet, and it looks like it’ll be a while before the streamer does so. Production is reportedly scheduled to start sometime in June and run through to September. There’s a chance the show could make a late 2022 release, but we’re leaning more towards an early 2023 release for now. Once Netflix announces the official release date, you’ll be the first to know.
