L-R Josh Zuckerman, Krista Allen, Jonathan Silverman
Originally developed for CW’s network digital platform Seed, CW has instead picked up the scripted half-hour comedy, Significant Mother to begin airing this summer.
Significant Mother was penned by Erin Cardillo and Richard Keith will also executive produce the series along with Tripp Reed and Les Morgenstein; and produced by Alloy Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios.
Other than Zuckerman, cast members include Krista Allen, Jonathan Silverman, Emma Fitzpatrick and Jay Ali.
Significant Mother is about a budding Portland restaurateur Nate (Josh Zuckerman), whose world is turned upside down when he comes back from a business trip to find that his lothario best friend and roommate, Jimmy, is now dating his recently separated mother, Lydia (Krista Allen). To make matters worse, Nate’s previously disinterested dad, Harrison (Jonathan Silverman) is now determined to win Lydia back and isn’t afraid to use Nate to get what he wants. Stuck between his family feud and his best friend’s first serious relationship, Nate’s “new normal” forever changes his relationships with his parents and severely handicaps his own dating life.
Production of Significant Mother will begin soon with a formal premiere during the summer (date yet to be disclosed.)
