Vudu has released the first trailer and poster for the small screen reboot of the John Hughes-penned 1983 comedy Mr. Mom which arrives on the streaming service next month. The series stars Hayes MacArthur as Greg, who finds himself taking on the role as a stay-at-home parent when his wife (Andrea Anders) lands her dream job; check them out here…
Based on the classic eighties hit film written by John Hughes and starring Michael Keaton, this series is a modern retelling of Mr. Mom. Megan (Andrea Anders) and Greg (Hayes MacArthur) are at a parenting crossroads. After five years raising their two kids at home, Megan has unexpectedly landed her dream job. Greg’s career is anything but a dream job, so after several failed attempts at securing childcare he abruptly quits in order to take his turn as the stay-at-home parent. He’s thrust headlong into a world of tantrums, diapers and cheese sticks, all while finally attempting to get his start-up off the ground. Megan quickly finds out just how much has changed as she reenters a workplace filled with overeager millennials and strange new terms like Slack and hot-desking. It’ll take all the patience these two parents can muster as they try to raise their kids, make ends meet, and find a little time for their marriage.
Mr. Mom arrives on Vudu on September 12th.
