- Barone will write, star as Claire Ambrose and serve as an executive producer while Scott King is attached as showrunner.
- Comedian Benito Skinner will co-star and also serve as an executive producer alongside Mackenzie Roussos and A24.
- The series follows Claire Ambrose, a New York dating consultant who teaches straight men communication and emotional intelligence while repeatedly choosing partners who lack those skills.
