EXCLUSIVE: Actor-comedian and writer Jamie Lee (Crashing) and actor-comedian Nikki Glaser (FBoy Island) are set to star in and executive produce Unsettling, a half-hour, single-camera comedy, which is in development for Prime Video, from Warner Bros.
TV, Bill Lawrence‘s studio-based Doozer Productions, and Amazon MGM Studios. Written by Lee, Unsettling is described as a heartwarming and refreshingly honest show about two childless best friends (Lee, Glaser) in their 30s who decide to “go in” on a baby together, and navigate their lives as brand new platonic co-parents.
Lee and Aseem Batra, who got her writing start on Lawrence’s Scrubs, serve as co-showrunners of Unsettling; which the two executive produce with Glaser as well as Doozer’s Bill Lawrence, Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer.
Unsettling also extends Lee’s relationship with Lawrence, Doozer and WBTV; she was a writer-producer on their hit Apple comedy series Ted Lasso, which was co-created/exec produced by Lawrence, sharing in the show’s two Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy wins as well as WGA and PGA Awards.
