The show's unique concept focuses on a chaotic family dinner, adding to Freevee's commitment to comedy.

Premiering on April 18, the series joins Freevee's other original comedies, offering viewers a variety of comedic options.

Dinner with the Parents is the next original comedy series from Freevee, and Screen Rant has a clip from the show’s premiere episode. The show was created by Jon Beckerman, who was the co-creator of NBC’s Ed and a head writer on The Late Show With David Letterman.

Freevee was behind one of Screen Rant’s best comedy shows of 2023, and the clip points to the platform’s continued dedication to the genre. Take a look and get ready to watch Dinner with the Parents on Amazon’s ad-supported free streaming platform when it premieres on April 18.

Dinner With The Parents Adds To Freevee’s Great Comedy Pedigree

Close

Dinner with the Parents is set to join other comedies like Jury Duty and Sprung on Freevee, and the series’ cast only adds to the impressive roster of comedic talent that can be seen on the platform. This is clear starting with the actors in the clip above, as Michaela Watkins’ credits include Saturday Night Live, Robot Chicken, Big Mouth, and Search Party. Dan Bakkedahl is known for his work across comedies like Space Force and The Goldbergs but excelled especially in the HBO series Veep.

Even outside of Watkins and Bakkedahl, the cast of Dinner with the Parents is stacked with top-tier comedic talent. The show also features Carol Kane, whose past work includes Addams Family Values, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and The Princess Bride, the latter of which is one of Letterboxd’s most quotable movies. It also features Henry Hall (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Veep) and Daniel Thrasher (God of Work, YouTube @DanielThrasher).

Dinner with the Parents will be the fourth original comedy series to be released on Freevee. In addition to the Greg Garcia crime comedy Sprung and the viral hidden camera mockumentary Jury Duty, the platform boasts the coming-of-age comedy Primo. Together, they prove the platform is committed to bringing a variety of comedic options to its viewers. Audiences won’t have to wait long to compare Dinner with the Parents with Freevee’s other offerings.

Dinner with the Parents premieres April 18 on Prime Video. The first four episodes will release at once, with two additional episodes released each Thursday.
