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.
