Apple TV has unveiled a first look at ‘She’s Fine‘, a new comedy starring and executive produced by Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games, The Better Sister). The 10-episode series arrives this January, with a supporting cast that includes a few familiar comedy heavyweights, and a premise which suggests that starting over after divorce is about to get very complicated indeed!
Banks stars as Heidi, a newly divorced mum determined to give herself and her children a lively second act. Unfortunately, getting her life back on track takes a rather unexpected detour when she finds herself coordinating the sexcapades at her father’s retirement community. Because apparently navigating your own post-divorce life isn’t awkward enough without getting tangled up in your dad’s love life too!
Things get even more complicated when Heidi forms an unlikely alliance with the perpetually single son of her father’s girlfriend. Exactly how helpful that partnership turns out to be remains to be seen, but it sounds like there’s plenty of scope for romantic misadventures, family chaos and some gloriously uncomfortable conversations.
The comedy has assembled an impressive ensemble, with Rob Delaney (Catastrophe, Deadpool 2), Ted Danson (Cheers, The Good Place) and Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy, Married… with Children) starring alongside Banks. The cast also includes Jared Goldstein, Spencer Moss, Titus Collier and Thaddaeus Collier.
It’s a particularly interesting collection of comedic talent. Banks has demonstrated her knack for both outrageous comedy and more grounded performances, while Delaney brings the sort of gloriously uncomfortable humour that made Catastrophe such a hit. Add Danson’s decades of sitcom experience and Sagal’s ability to move effortlessly between comedy and drama, and there’s certainly plenty of potential here.
Behind the scenes, ‘She’s Fine’ is created, showrun and executive produced by Emmy nominee Liz Heldens and Matt Ward. Heldens has previously worked on series including The Dropout and The Passage.
Banks also executive produces alongside Max Handelman and Krissy Wall through her Brownstone Productions banner. Jason Winer and Jon Radler executive produce for Small Dog Picture Company, while Quinn Haberman executive produces alongside Heldens for Selfish Mermaid. Jonathan Krisel directs the pilot and also serves as an executive producer.
The series is produced by 20th Television for Apple TV, adding another original comedy to the streamer’s growing line-up alongside hits such as Ted Lasso, The Studio and Shrinking.
With its mix of messy family relationships, second chances and the potentially horrifying prospect of having to organise your father’s retirement-home romantic adventures, ‘She’s Fine’ certainly has an unusual starting point. Whether Heidi manages to get her own life sorted while dealing with everyone else’s remains to be seen!
‘She’s Fine‘ Season 1 premieres Wednesday, 27th January 2027 on Apple TV, launching with two episodes. New episodes will follow every Wednesday until Wednesday, 24th March 2027.
