FOX UK Picks Up Single Season Sitcom ‘Outmatched’ To Premiere In December
FOX UK continues rooting through their Disney-owned box of cancelled shows to fill out their schedules, as they announce sitcom ‘Outmatched‘, starring Jason Biggs and Maggie Lawson, will premiere this December on the UK broadcaster.
For most parents, parenting is hard, but for Cay (Lawson), a caustic, take-no-prisoners casino pit boss, and husband Mike (Biggs), a handyman and uncultivated guy’s guy, parenting may as well be advanced calculus. Dealing with the demands and egos of three high-IQ children would be tricky for any parent, but it’s especially hazardous for two working stiffs who barely got through high school. Mike and Cay are committed to bringing some normalcy to their kids’ hectic, unconventional childhoods, but these geniuses don’t make it easy.
Alongside Biggs (‘American Pie, ‘OITNB’) and Lawson (‘Psych’, ‘Lethal Weapon’), the series also stars Tisha Campbell (‘Everybody Hates Chris’, ‘Empire’) as Rita, a blackjack dealer and Kay’s best friend, and Finesse Mitchell (‘SNL’) as Irwin, Mike’s best friend and Rita’s husband. Ashley Boettcher, Connor Kalopsis, Jack Stanton and Oakley Bull play the couple’s four kids.
The series came from writer/executive producer Lon Zimmet (‘LA to Vegas’) and was produced by 20th Century Fox Television (now 20th Television). The series is 10 episodes long but was cancelled by FOX in the US after one season in the US.
‘Outmatched‘ premieres Thursday 10th December 2020 at 9pm on FOX UK.
