AceShowbiz - Marta Kauffman, the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning television writer and producer known for Friends and Grace and Frankie, is returning to the multi-cam comedy format with a new series titled DINKS (Dual Income No Kids), which has been ordered by Amazon MGM Studios.
The improvisational comedy follows Josh and Charlie, a couple who, in the absence of marriage or kids, decide to literally build a life together by renovating their nightmare of a dream house. The roles are played by real-life married couple Paul Scheer and June Diane Raphael.
Kauffman, who co-created the iconic sitcom Friends and later created the Netflix series Grace and Frankie, brings her extensive experience to this new project. The order from Amazon MGM Studios marks a notable addition to the streaming platform's comedy slate.
The series is described as an improvisational multi-cam comedy, a format that allows for spontaneity and a unique energy, which could appeal to both fans of traditional sitcoms and those looking for something fresh. Scheer and Raphael, who are known for their comedic work in various projects, are set to bring their real-life chemistry to the screen.
Details about the show's release date or production timeline have not been announced yet. However, the project is already generating buzz given Kauffman's track record and the involvement of the talented duo.
The announcement of DINKS comes as Amazon MGM Studios continues to expand its original programming, focusing on both established creators and new voices. With Kauffman at the helm, the series is poised to attract attention from audiences who have followed her career since the 1990s.
As the project moves forward, fans of Kauffman's previous work and of Scheer and Raphael will be eager to see how this new comedy develops. The series promises to offer a humorous take on modern relationships and the challenges of home renovation, all wrapped in the familiar multi-cam format that Kauffman has mastered.
