A new comedy-drama series, DAD, is set to debut as a Hulu Original on Disney+ following a collaboration between Disney+ and A24 UK. The series, created by Clem Garritty, will follow three siblings—Sammy, Ned, and Jess. Their lives are irrevocably changed when their father faces an accusation of a murder committed years ago during their childhood.
Compelled to reunite, the siblings embark on a quest to uncover hidden truths within their family's past. This journey forces them to confront the unsettling, yet often comically stark, realities of their current lives. The project represents a significant international venture for Disney+, highlighting its increasing investment in EMEA content.
Lee Mason, Disney+ EMEA's VP of scripted, described DAD as "bold" and "brilliantly original," praising its compassionate and sharply funny approach to a complex premise. The series is fundamentally a story about family, identity, and the profound question of how well we truly know those who influence us. Production is underway with A24 serving as producer.
