  • Jackson will portray Cooper, a chef launching a members-only dining club who hides a secret that threatens his friendships and career.
  • Ray Romano co-stars as Leo, a recent widower and father of five adult children tasked with holding the family together.
  • The pilot was created by Berlanti, Bash Doran and Robbie Rogers, produced by Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions, with executive producers Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman and Rogers.
