Disney+ has greenlit the comedy drama DAD from the independent entertainment company A24 UK. The Hulu Original scripted series (6×50’) is created and written by Clem Garritty (The Rachel Incident, Life is Strange) and will follow three grown-up siblings who lives are irreversibly changed when their father is accused of a historic murder committed during their childhood.

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, added: “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.”

DAD was commissioned by Angela Jain, Head of Content, Disney+ EMEA and Lee Mason, Vice-President, Scripted, Disney+ EMEA.
