Deadline is reporting that Netflix has given a 20-episode order to No Good Nick, a new multi-camera family sitcom which will be headlined by Melissa Joan Hart (Melissa & Joey) and Sean Astin (Stranger Things).
The comedy has been created by David H. Steinberg and Keetgi Kogan (Miss Dial), and will see Hart and Astin as “Liz and Ed, a hyper-competitive career mom and lovable but dorky “fun dad,” respectively, who unwittingly welcome 13-year-old Nick (short for Nicole) into their family of four before realizing she is a street-smart con artist with a secret agenda.”
“Melissa Joan Hart and Sean Astin are beloved by millions of fans around the world, and we are delighted to bring them together as parents for the very first time,” said Melissa Cobb, Netflix’s VP of Kids and Family. “We hope to entertain kids and families with heart, mystery and a lot of fun when No Good Nick comes to Netflix.”
Sienna Agudong (Star Falls) will portray the titular Nick, while the cast also includes Kalama Epstein (The Fosters) and Lauren Lindsey Donzis (Liv & Maddie). Production on the series is underway now, with Andy Fickman (She’s the Man) directing.
