Jamie Foxx’s Father Daughter Comedy Gets Netflix Series Order – Deadline

Netflix has given a formal series green light to Dad Stop Embarrassing Me, a father daughter comedy starring and executive produced by Oscar winner Jamie Foxx. The series is inspired by Foxx’s relationship with his daughter, Corinne Foxx, who produces alongside Alex Avant.

Kyla-Drew (The Good Doctor, Jessie) will play Foxx’s daughter, with David Alan Grier (A Soldier’s Play, Sprinter) also starring on the multi-camera comedy.

Dad Stop Embarrassing Me was casting and gearing up for production in February before the coronavirus pandemic paused most production activities.

He was replaced by Bentley Kyle Evans (Martin, The Jamie Foxx Show, Family Time). initially hired as consultant, who was named executive producer/showrunner. Ken Whittingham (Modern Family, Black-ish, Grace & Frankie) will direct all episodes.

In addition to Foxx, Grier and Kyla-Drew, Dad Stop Embarrassing Me stars Porscha Coleman (Silicon Valley, Ballers), Jonathan Kite (2 Broke Girls, Black Dynamite: The Animated Series), with Heather Hemmens (Roswell: New Mexico, If Loving You Is Wrong) and Valente Rodriguez (Happily Divorced, The George Lopez Show) recurring.
