Netflix places straight-to-series order for cannabis comedy Disjointed starring Kathy Bates

July 15, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Streaming service Netflix has placed a 20-episode straight to series order for Disjointed, a cannabis-themed workplace comedy from producer Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men).

The multi-camera series will star Kathy Bates (American Horror Story) as “a lifelong advocate for legalization who’s finally living her dream as the owner of an L.A.-area cannabis dispensary”. She will be joined in the cast by “three budtenders, her twentysomething son and a deeply troubled security guard. And everyone is more or less constantly high.”

Disjointed has by been created by Lorre and David Javerbaum (The Daily Show), with the duo shopping it to networks and Netflix earlier this year.
