Netflix Orders Rob Lowe Comedy ‘Unstable’

 Netflix has greenlit “Unstable”, a new scripted comedy series starring Rob Lowe and his son, John Owen Lowe. The logline: The series is set in a cutting-edge biotech research company, following an introverted, socially-challenged son who goes to work for his very successful, wildly eccentric father in order to save him from disaster. It is inspired by Rob and John Owen Lowe’s social media relationship, in which John Owen often humorously trolls his dad. Their posts often go viral and have been extensively covered in the media.    

“Unstable” is co-created and executive produced by both Lowes and Victor Fresco.

“We are very excited to be working with Victor, Rob and John Owen,” said Tracey Pakosta, Netflix Head of Comedy. “The three of them – and their wildly funny, smart sensibilities – are a perfect fit for our growing slate of scripted comedies.”
