EXCLUSIVE: Fox Corporation’s Tubi has greenlighted The Z-Suite, a comedy series starring and executive produced by Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls, Parenthood). The multi-generational workplace comedy, from writer, executive producer and showrunner Katie O’Brien (The Santa Clauses, Teachers), is AVOD service’s first homegrown live-action original series.
Graham plays Monica Frazier, an advertising agency mogul who is fired as CEO and finds herself clawing her way back into the company she helped build.
“When I first read the script for The Z-Suite I responded to Katie O’Brien’s fresh and funny take on the workplace,” said Lauren Graham, who executive produces the series alongside O’Brien, Lance Samuels, Samantha Levine, and Daniel Iron of Blue Ice Pictures (Ginny & Georgia), and Eric Wattenberg, Gary Vaynerchuk and Matt Higgins of VaynerWatt.
“The Z-Suite continues Tubi’s trajectory as a home for original stories that pierce through culture,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi. “This original series shines a spotlight on the comedic gaps in communication, style and behavior of generations in the workforce, which makes it a very relevant and universal story that we’re excited to tell along with the incredibly talented Lauren Graham, Katie O’Brien and team.”
