DAD: DISNEY+ ANNOUNCES NEW COMEDY DRAMA FROM CLEM GARRITTY

Disney+ have commissioned new comedy drama DAD from A24 UK. The 6x50' series is written by Clem Garritty and follows three adult siblings whose lives are changed when their father is accused of a historic murder committed during their childhood.

A teaser shares: "As their understanding of childhood is turned on its head and the pressures of adult life close in, Sammy, Ned and Jess are forced back together to uncover the secrets buried deep within their family’s past. In doing so, they must confront the harsh and often uncomfortably hilarious realities of the present."

Lee Mason, Vice-President, Scripted, Disney+ EMEA, said: “DAD is a bold, brilliantly original series that takes a dark and emotionally complex premise and turns it into something deeply compassionate, surprising and sharply funny...

"At its heart, this is a story about family, identity and the unsettling question of how well we can ever really know the people who shape us. We are excited to work with Clem and the brilliant team at A24 to bring this unique story to Disney+ audiences.”

More details will be announced in due course.
