Star as the producer. The dating pool is a difficult place to be in the best of circumstances, but it’s even harder when you’ve been shoved in the deep end with no warning. That’s the lesson thriving New York City real estate broker Michael Lawson (Neil Patrick Harris) learns in the new sitcom UNCOUPLED.
When his loving boyfriend of 17 years moves out, Michael’s steady life is turned upside down — and to make matters even worse, he’s now a 50-year-old man who needs to learn how to use Grindr without accidentally calling an Uber. Peter Porte and Marcia Gay Harden also star.
While you are enjoying his hot self in Bridgerton, hotness personified Jonathan Bailey will star in MARIA, a young woman (Felicity Jones) with a history of running from reality. Struggling to accept her age, her boyfriend’s (Bailey) love and her father’s (Jason Isaacs) indifference, Maria spots an opportunity to feel young, free and desirable at her father’s wedding, where she meets Raffy, her new stepbrother. Their obvious, if inconvenient, sexual chemistry is made worse by the news that her father has been diagnosed with a terminal illness.
