TUBI GREENLIGHTS ORIGINAL SERIES "THE Z-SUITE" STARRING LAUREN GRAHAM
The Generational Workplace Comedy is Set to Premiere in 2025 Exclusively on Tubi
SAN FRANCISCO, MAY 9, 2024 - Tubi (www.tubi.tv), Fox Corporation's ad-supported video-on-demand service, announced today it has greenlit the new original comedy series THE Z-SUITE starring Lauren Graham ("Gilmore Girls," "Parenthood"). Written by Katie O'Brien ("The Santa Clauses," "Teachers") who also serves as showrunner, the series is executive produced by Lance Samuels, Samantha Levine, and Daniel Iron of Blue Ice Pictures ("Ginny & Georgia"), and Eric Wattenberg, Gary Vaynerchuk and Matt Higgins of VaynerWatt. Lauren Graham also serves as an executive producer.
THE Z-SUITE is a workplace comedy set at a boutique New York ad agency where generational divides see the established C-Suite and rising Gen Z employees collide. After a company decision spirals out of control, the agency's reigning executives are pushed out and the Z-Suite employees are suddenly put in charge, ultimately testing both generations' skills and patience. Graham plays Monica Frazier, an advertising agency mogul who is fired as CEO and finds herself clawing her way back into the company she helped build.
"When I first read the script for THE Z-SUITE I responded to Katie O'Brien's fresh and funny take on the workplace," said Lauren Graham. "The character of Monica is smart, strong, and appealingly a bit unhinged. I'm excited to work with the team at Tubi as they ramp up their Originals slate and continue their ascent in the streaming space."
"THE Z-SUITE continues Tubi's trajectory as a home for original stories that pierce through culture," said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi. "This original series shines a spotlight on the comedic gaps in communication, style and behavior of generations in the workforce, which makes it a very relevant and universal story that we're excited to tell along with the incredibly talented Lauren Graham, Katie O'Brien and team."
As the studio behind the series, Tubi maintains global distribution rights.
