CBS has ordered a new father-and-son comedy series starring a real-life father and son. The network has greenlighted the Poppa’s House series for midseason.
Starring Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr., Poppa’s House revolves around a legendary talk radio host and happily divorced man, aka “Poppa” (Damon Wayans). His point of view is challenged at work when a new female co-host named Ivy (Essence Atkins) is hired. At home, he is still parenting his adult son, Damon (Damon Wayans Jr.), a brilliant dreamer trying to pursue his passion while still being a responsible father and husband. Tetona Jackson stars as “Nina”
Wayans and Kevin Hench will serve as executive producers. Andy Ackerman directed the pilot from a script written by Hench and Wayans. CBS Studios produces the series.
The new Poppa’s House series will air midseason during CBS’ 2023-24 season. It’s unclear when the new season will begin airing, given the ongoing WGA strike.
