\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Disney+<\/a> is teaming with A24<\/a> UK for the first time on a comedy-drama series about grown-up siblings whose lives are changed forever when their father is accused of murder. <\/p>\n

\n\tDAD<\/a> comes from up-and-coming writer Clem Garritty<\/a>, who created Showtime pilot Jonah Kills and is writing on Charlie Covell\u2019s Life is Strange.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe straight-to-series order is understood to have attracted interest in a competitive situation from the BBC, ITV, Sky and others, but Disney+ won out and the show is now badged a Hulu Original. Casting is to come. <\/p>\n

\n\tDAD follows Sammy, Ned and Jess, whose lives are irreversibly changed when their father is accused of a historic murder committed during their childhood. They\u00a0are forced back together to uncover the secrets buried deep within their family\u2019s past and in doing so, must confront the harsh and often uncomfortably hilarious realities of the present.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the likes of Rivals and Alice and Steve, the show is the latest big international bet from Disney+, which has upped EMEA spend of late<\/a>, and represents the first time Disney+ has worked with A24 UK<\/a>. In the U.S., Disney+ and A24 have teamed on the likes of Hulu\u2019s Ramy and FX on Hulu\u2019s upcoming The Marriage Plot with Sadie Sink<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tLee Mason, Disney+ EMEA\u2019s VP of scripted, called DAD a \u201cbold, brilliantly original series that takes a dark and emotionally complex premise and turns it into something deeply compassionate, surprising and sharply funny.\u201d \u201cAt 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+\u00a0audiences,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the UK, A24 is also working on the likes of Apple TV\u2019s The Husbands with Juno Temple, Molly Manning Walker\u2019s Major Players and Michaela Coel\u2019s next project, First Day on Earth.<\/p>\n

\n\tDAD was commissioned by Angela Jain, Head of Content, Disney+ EMEA, and Mason. It will be produced by A24 with Garritty as writer and creator.\u00a0Garrity is repped by Lark, WME, and Kaplan\/Perrone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Disney+ is teaming with A24 UK for the first time on a comedy-drama series about grown-up siblings…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":505145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[12698,232212,232213,41394,4550,146,85,46],"class_list":["post-505144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-a24","tag-a24-uk","tag-clem-garritty","tag-dad","tag-disney","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/505145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=505144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=505144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
